I am really sorry for the installer but my game was not exporting any other way:(

I would be happy for any feedback.

Very minimalist. I like the piano and overall mood the game gives you.

Minimalism is very abundant here. I admire that in games. Keep it up.

Music and mood was great, felt anticlimactic when I finally got to 5 and the game just closed.

I was enjoying it but then I failed to understand how to score points so I got stuck.

Bummer.Thanks though, very thoughtful.

Ugh, this game remind me of how much I suck at rhythm games. I would recommend adding an indicator letting the player know when to push the button (I do like that the button appears for a long time, though, so keep that). Otherwise, I had a blast. Reminded me of Bit.Trip.

Good game! The ending was weird, though, and the game could have been better explained. There were a good two minutes where I couldn't score because the colors weren't spawning right, which is probably just a chance thing, but I just thought for a while that the scoreboard had gotten stuck at 0-2. Also I noticed that some words flashed across the screen as the game quit, but didn't have time to read them.

Gah! Sorry for the last comment, I meant that for a different game! I should stop having so many tabs open!

Alright, I did play your game, and ready to give a proper comment. Apologize for the last one.

Overall, I like that the game is a jerk. It was interesting to see the second playerbeing integrated, but then the "game" starts that's really hard to figure out. I think more content and tutorial could have helped at these segments.

The music was great, though.

Music and minimalist design were great with the text.
Too bad I didn't figure it out how to score point with my "friend".
I have the feeling that there is more to discover in this experimentation.

Interesting game!
I got stuck on the points initially, but eventually figured it out.

Cool game but it exited when I was scoring.
