Thanks for playing, glad you found it fun! The key presses were a tough one to balance in the time as we tried to set it up based on a qwerty keyboard to be played with two hands.
Thank you for the feedback, glad you liked the music, would loved to have put in a multiple song selection for sure!
You are definitely right with the learning curve, given more time it would be better to ramp it up over time.
Can you not see the all 5 sprites on the combo? The will overlap as its a quick one, but should be visible by the colour at least.
Have some problems in the key coliders, but have a lot of fun :D
But for those 5-note runs, it does look like a colored letter soup the first time you see it :). I think I first got through it more by memorizing the sequences, and telling them apart by first&last notes of the group, rather that recognizing each individual note on sight. But after some practice, it does seem to become easier to distinguish each of the notes.
Another random thought, it would be cool if that 5-streak meter was also represented visually somehow, like filling a bar, so that players could tell at a glance how many notes there's left to hit.
Keep up the good work !

Only thing I had trouble with was my twitchy fingers in between notes caused me to die a lot whoops.
We played it on stream, which you can view here: https://www.twitch.tv/cantgetourname/v/88809110
