Sometimes reloading the page and/or closing all other tabs helps, but if you feel like you're hitting the beats but you still seem to be missing them, that's why)

But as osu! player for me was really hard to understand bpm for this song,
may be some more nicer looking visual indicator of bit?
Music is cool :D
Graphics to!
Thanks for game!
Having multiple music tracks is impressive considering the time limit, graphics while not matching the EDM styles of songs were quite charming in their own regard.
I did find it a little difficult to understand the beat timings maybe some slower easier song to begin with so I had time to learn the mechanics would have been helpful!
I personally found the graphics charming but the music did not really fit the aesthetic. Nevertheless, the music was still ok for this kind of game.
It could use some clearer way communicate the proper timings, though. I wasn't sure if I was failing because I was out of tune (which I probably was in some cases, but in others I couldn't hear the pattern), and trying to use the platform animations seemed to have contradictory effects.
If you improve these things you have quite a promising entry here. Good job!!
My only criticism is that one of the tracks had a pretty loud and prominent off-beat rhythm, which I actually latched onto it more than the main beat, which was obviously problematic.
Overall, amazing!
Having some FX when you nail the beat perfectly would have been nice (although maybe there was and I was just too bad to see it!), and I thought the music cut out a little abruptly when you died.
