Very minimalist. I like the piano and overall mood the game gives you.

Minimalism is very abundant here. I admire that in games. Keep it up.

Music and mood was great, felt anticlimactic when I finally got to 5 and the game just closed.

Great music :D

I was enjoying it but then I failed to understand how to score points so I got stuck.

Bummer.Thanks though, very thoughtful.

Ugh, this game remind me of how much I suck at rhythm games. I would recommend adding an indicator letting the player know when to push the button (I do like that the button appears for a long time, though, so keep that). Otherwise, I had a blast. Reminded me of Bit.Trip.

Good game! The ending was weird, though, and the game could have been better explained. There were a good two minutes where I couldn't score because the colors weren't spawning right, which is probably just a chance thing, but I just thought for a while that the scoreboard had gotten stuck at 0-2. Also I noticed that some words flashed across the screen as the game quit, but didn't have time to read them.

Gah! Sorry for the last comment, I meant that for a different game! I should stop having so many tabs open!

Alright, I did play your game, and ready to give a proper comment. Apologize for the last one.

Overall, I like that the game is a jerk. It was interesting to see the second playerbeing integrated, but then the "game" starts that's really hard to figure out. I think more content and tutorial could have helped at these segments.

The music was great, though.

Great idea. Really neat concept and great music. Nice work.

Music and minimalist design were great with the text.
Too bad I didn't figure it out how to score point with my "friend".
I have the feeling that there is more to discover in this experimentation.

Interesting game!
I got stuck on the points initially, but eventually figured it out.

Cool game but it exited when I was scoring.
