If you find anything in the game you would deem needing of a warning, please let me know and I'll add it!
Accessibility
As a rhythm game, the challenge faced will vary greatly depending on the user. The game is designed to give a sense of challenge to all but experienced rhythm game players, but still be fully to most, without too many attempts.
Difficulty setting is on the roadmap for the post-jam version, but in the meantime if you find the game too challenging and want an easier version, please let me know and I'll send you a tailored build.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts, issues, or just nice things to say! Mac and Linux builds not currently tested, please let me know if they worked for you.

Gameplay felt weaker though. It's a rhythm game, but the rhythm is always pretty much the same and, while the audio is nice, music is probably not as charismatic as one would expect from a game like this. I'd say this is missing some extra element to make it truly unique, whether that's a more interesting soundtrack or a twist in the mechanics.
Anyway, these are minor things. The game is quite fun and very polished. It just needs something different that sets it apart from similar games. Congrats on finishing the jam!
