I felt a bit overwhelmed at start as there was just too much going on, but later it got better as I learned to press a\/d at the right time (there I feel like the window for hitting them was too short).

I wasn't really a fan of the controls because the arrow notes were hard to hit correctly.

I feel like you dont often see rhythm games during a jam and I feel like that is because they are hard to do but you did a great job. I really liked the idea of mousing over sections and then using key inputs. It took the first song to really get a hang of it but the escalation of diffculty across the three was really well done. Good music too! The theme was a bit light but thats alright.
