Congratulations on the game, it's really cool.
However, I had difficulty unlocking other songs. I think it would be better if the notes were distributed in the following order: ⬇️➡️❎🅾️.
That way, the position of the notes would coincide with the position of the controller. Currently, when I'm on hard mode and pressing ⬇️ and then a ⬆️ appears, I find it difficult to remember that that note is the ⬆️ and not the ⬅️.
Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the game to include a control scheme setting. Enjoy!
Wow! Played right now and felt so much better. Thanks for the update.
Even got an S in the most difficult song to me.
🥹 Glad you liked it! I've got a lot of feedback/complaints from friends and family that song 2 hard is too hard lol
For me, it was very difficult with the previous layout; I only managed an A because it's possible to press all the buttons and still get a hit (yes, I cheated on my first attempt).
With this new layout, I still need to be careful, and even then I wasn't perfect, but the difference was huge.
