Some things I think might improve it:\n- Better camera control. With W\/S panning, it would have felt more natural to have A\/D rotate smoothly, instead of jumping around. It was a little confusing too, since I think that A\/D was supposed to rotate the block, but it changed the viewpoint of the whole playing field? I wasn't sure how to use that to my advantage, so I ended up not touching those keys.\n- I'd like to have had more influence from the rhythm part of the game. Maybe instead of them just dropping on the beat, the player could have control over dropping the pieces but has to drop them or face some penalty. Maybe an offbeat block bounces more and therefore has a better chance of disrupting the pile.\n- Also - it's difficult to pile up the blocks accurately. That's probably partly my skill level, but I do think it would be nice if the blocks didn't bound so much and just landed straight down (again, maybe this could be part of a rhythm mechanic as in my previous point). The other difficulty with piling is that it was hard for me to tell how a block would fall based on the preview image. Maybe replace (or supplement) the pointer line with a ghost of the piece in the air?\n\nOverall I think this is a fun game and a great effort.
