It didnt turn into as much of a game as it was planned to be, but its still cool to make some artwork for yourself.

I do have one complaint about the controls. Because you can't change which strings are lifted while the string is moving left\/right, it's hard to get into a rhythm since I have to wait a second between each row.\n\nWhat I'd really have liked is a scheme where strings are lifted while I'm holding their number, rather than a toggle. Have the left\/right string move a lot quicker (0.1s or less) and remove the restriction on only changing lifted strings when it's not moving. The experience would probably be a lot smoother.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"jasontherand","author_uid":1058800,"time":"2017-12-04T19:44:35Z","epoch":1512416675,"modified":1512416675,"text":"@amras0000 I actually made it like that to begin with, and the code is still in there if you think I should make it an option. When I tried it that way my hand got very tired, which is why I changed it to the toggle.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"amras0000","author_uid":"1006459","time":"2017-12-04T20:05:10Z","epoch":1512417910,"modified":1512417910,"text":"Sure, having an option available never hurts. Keep in mind someone playing the game for 5-10 minutes isn't going to experience as much strain as when you playtest your own game for hours on end. But that's definitely an issue I hadn't considered.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"irwatts","author_uid":"1005663","time":"2017-12-05T02:04:38Z","epoch":1512439478,"modified":1512439478,"text":"The key bind switching is really cool.
