@whitetigle I've updated the zip to display the error message when running. Could you try redownloading it and telling me what the error says? Thanks.

@adnzzzzZ Thanks. I'm not sure what is causing the problem as it should be runnable on either 64 or 32 bit systems. I'll have to look into further.

I love the aesthetic. Pretty cool mix of puzzle and timing.
Also sup from AGDG.

This was reaaally really good. I couldn't pass level 11 I think, but up to that point the game was really impressive and fit the theme pretty well. One expansion of this would be to have make levels such that the final (and only) sequence that can beat the level creates an actual small song. Although then the game would be much more about timed execution without any time to stop in between moves... Anyway, good job!

Also, your piano reminded me of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNxqwEqu7rg

Love the graphics and the gameplay! Very unique and fun, and the musical notes really add a bow on top!

Very inovative. I loved the piano sounds. It was very calming at first, but the later levels really raise the curve. Not impossible, but hard.

ALSO you should make it more apparent that you have the .love file. That way mac/linux people can play it too if they have love. Nice work!

The music and art were fantastic, I love the tone sequence paired with moves; it greatly enhances the feeling of accomplishment. A very relaxing play, great job.

I only made it as far as level 8 before rage quitting, but it's a great little game with awesome sound design and visuals that sit really well with the theme.

I at times I felt like I was playing a rhythm game. Awesome sounds.
The art works really well and everything seems polished up.
Well done.

Very elegant and aesthetically pleasing little puzzle. Got difficult very fast, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. :)

beautiful graphics and sound. I liked the concept, but I feel the skill and reflexes bit don't fit the overall mood and puzzly genre of the game.

Interesting combination of puzzle-game and reflex-platformer. The 3D effect confused me at first as to which square I was actually on, though. But very nice aesthetics!

The only problem I had was with the controls. I would sometimes move a space too many because I would hold down a key for a half second too long. Besides that, the graphics and sound were calming and beautiful and the levels thoughtfully designed.

Really nice job man!

I think I might've appreciated it more if it were purely a puzzle game, but that may just be because I'm bad at dodging spikes. Got to level 8 before I gave up.

Great puzzle game idea, and I love the idea of piano notes associated with keys, it's like sound and gameplay mix each other, you "play" the game in both ways

Cool idea, but I gave up in the third round :P

That's great! I really liked the use of piano notes!
One thing though: sometimes I accidentally moved twice in quick sucession, because the game apparently doesn't wait for a "key up" between moves. Just a minor nitpick, great game overall!
