This is my favourite game i have played so far! It is such a great concept and so fun to play, the only problem I found is that trying to hit the numpad on the beat made it fail you half the time, maybe have a little bit of leeway for people who are trying to be on the beat as I find that makes the game more fun, great game still!

Was fun to play ! Great idea to use the such lonely numpad for finger gymnastics :)
Thanks

A solid entry, the beat and the rhythm feel great! I forgot to read the instructions first and had a hard time figuring the controls. Maybe this could be hinted in the game on the first level?

Very cool. Simple idea very well executed. Solid entry.

Nice game! Fun way to use the keypad and the minimal graphics were clean, but very juicy and communicative :).

One thing, that'd make it just slightly better, would be to add some inaccuracy time, so that you could hit the key slightly before the beat and still make it. As it is you can hit it slightly later and make it, so it almost felt like I had to be slower on purpose to get it right.

Anyway, awesome entry!

Really great idea that made for a very compelling game. I was initially confused by the sound effects for completing each loop and completing each level (they both sounded like I'd done something wrong or lost a life, rather than done something right and made progress). Core mechanic is really solid, and there was an interesting variety of levels. Fairly short levels made it quite compelling to keep playing too. This could be the basis for a great game with some more time work on the sound/graphics/feel and lots more levels.

A rythm game! Cool!

For some strange reason, numpads don't work in browser version on my machine (Linux + Chrome). I keep pressing, but there is no feedback whatsoever :(

P.S. Space works though... So I can skip levels :)
