You could have tried dimming the music volume to indicate a failure maybe ?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did try to do some MIR a while back, I would be curious to know what algorithm you ended up using ?"},{"author_name":"Crosstales","author_uid":"32967","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:14pm","epoch":1450300140,"text":"Nice idea, but the sound has too little impact on the game.\r<br\/>Probably, you could improve it a bit and make it more challenging and entertaining (like moving the ball)."},{"author_name":"bobismijnnaam","author_uid":"20562","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:15pm","epoch":1450300200,"text":"Nice game! Cool aesthetics, and the music was also ok. The controls were sometimes a tad buggy but were ok overall. The blipping sound fitted the looks of the game. Kudos for including so many songs and the cool menu structure :)"},{"author_name":"XtremePrime","author_uid":"22627","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:22pm","epoch":1450300620,"text":"The music is not on sync with the bars, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a rhythm game :( Also the shrinking and growing feels a bit ... stiff. With some work, it would be nice!"},{"author_name":"PuddleOfWater","author_uid":"65681","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 9:29pm","epoch":1450301040,"text":"The menu system presents your game nicely. :P The volume slider and 'Test' button was blissful.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I didn't feel that the playing field complemented the music. Maybe me version of the game has errors?"},{"author_name":"A Flat Miner Studios","author_uid":"42150","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 10:30pm","epoch":1450304700,"text":"Very innovative. The only issue not mentioned in your &quot;features&quot; list was the sounds were a bit jarring because they didn't fit with the music.  It works for when you hit the black bars (that SHOULD be jarring, as you made a mistake), but not so much for the white bars.  I'd say either make sure it matches up (which is very tough, I know) or get rid of the sound when you hit a white bar."},{"author_name":"Pantoufle","author_uid":"58033","time":"Jan 4, 2016 @ 7:32pm","epoch":1451935620,"text":"Good idea!
