This had a really nice vibe, quite relaxing. I really enjoyed how the collision notes matched the chord the music was making. If there was a bit more visual effect to match the music it would be even better.

The first word coming to my mind was Zen. I enjoy playing this game. Love your idea. Free feel to try and rate our game!

Very calming. Love the music and the Sfx of the music note bouncing. I would like a spin faster option while holding shift or something and more visuals would be cool. Also more levels possibly with multiple music notes to get somewhere. Overall really good job for such a simple concept.

I get a lot of friends saying the spin rate is too slow - I totally agree. The problem is that I didn't have the time to build better colliders, so if the spin rate was any higher, the note would frequently go through the walls and fall into oblivion! Definitely something I regret not doing a better job on.

loved the concept of it, very good job, I like the harmonies and the option that the note create all kinds of music variations. the rotation is a bit slow but over all very good job.

Fun game!! I would have loved to play more levels, maybe starting off simpler and then getting even more complex, but I very much enjoyed the experience :) I loved the bounciness of the note, I think it made it more fun and made some of the trickier parts easier!

I love it when sound effects are part of the music, reminded me of Tetris Effect in that regard.

Such a relaxing game!

The simplistic graphics do their job and the music is nice.

I wished that the spin speed was a bit faster and I found a bug: the first time i played the note fell off the game screen!

A very relaxing game. Just a small suggestion, I personally think it would be great if there was a button to switch the rotation speed. Great game! Thank you for creating it!

So soothing! Love the music and how well the sound effects add to the tone. I hope the note can get a speed limit though, because I don't want it to bounce that fast to mess up the music haha.

really sweet music box simulator, it was nice to hear the bouncing notes complenent the music. like you've / others have said with the slow rotation speed and very bouncy physics it's tricky to finish the game.

Hard and gets really repetitive, but the idea is superb. You could've started with smaller level to make it more fun, less hardcore. And the colored cells distract from the paths. With that kind of game I'd add some beats soon, maybe after passing a few cells, and block the way back (add checkpoints), so that the game is solved faster as the tune develops further, creating this feeling of the musical flow.

Really simple but calming concept. I really liked how the notes were linked to the background music, it gave it a really pleasing atmosphere. It would have maybe been cool to have analog control over the map rotation, by using the mouse or something. Regardless, this was a quick but enjoyable experience. Good job!
