Maybe use zip next time? For rar I have to use a separate program, which is, well, not that much effort really, but it could be a tad better if given a zip.
That was a fun game! The music fit the vibe if the game, as well as the background and the overall style of the game. The mechanic was pretty interesting and fun to get under control. The combinations that were fired at you could be more challenging, but this was not a problem. Very good work!

Clever mechanic in relation to the two button theme!
Wow this game is tough. Nice job.

@bobismijnnaam Oh well, I will build a web version, I think that would be better than downloading the game :) Thanks for the feedbacks.
Well actually I'm still working on the patterns because I indeed think the game is "hard" for the, let's say 5 first minutes, then it becomes somewhat easy :p

BRUTAL but very polished. Was very enjoyable and was clearly made with some love.

Actually a really fun, tough game. The graphics could be improved. It controls well. Good Luck!

This has quite some promise. More varied and crazier patterns and more polish and I can see myself playing it for quite some time.

Thank you guys ! :D
I'm actually very happy with the result and I've already decided to go further with it and port it to mobile :)

Really fun game to play and super-satisfying to get past even the first few enemies!
I liked the idea for the two button implementation, but it was a VERY hard game. Like, I couldn't even get past 600 or so. Despite this, I thought the art and sound were both great!

Vraiment génial :D
T'aurai du mettre le son dans les notes, t'aurai fait un carton :p
Man this is tough, clever use of the theme though!
my score: 7600.
I have one thing to complain... The game start after 5 seconds. You should send the blocks right the ways before 150 points. The game its preety addicting but the 5 second ways its boring.
5/5

Made to about 5000. If I could give some advice it would be to make the game actually have just 2 left right states for each block, without it being a continuous movement from one to other. As far as I could tell you don't want to try to stay in the middle at all, just on either of two sides, so it would make for neater gameplay if this was what it showed you from the start. Another thing that I learned from rhythm games is that you want to ease the player into doing two things at once. For instance, train the player to master dodging one pattern with the left, train the player to master dodging one pattern with the right, and then put the left + a simplified version of the right at the same time, and so on.

It's fun and challenging, loved it! The music though, the early part is almost literally brain-splitting. Score: 12750

Cool game, fits the theme well. Particles are a nice effect. I think it could be a big improvement if you could make the obstacle patterns fit the music somehow.

Woah that could be interesting indeed ! I'll think about that :D

Really hard one! I only could last a couple of seconds. A shame because I really liked the beginning of the soundtrack and would love to listen to more of it :)
Ooh, tricky! Made it to the 7000s though. This was confusing in a fun way -- trying to keep your mind on both avatars while dodging obstacles is tough and satisfying. The synth chip track keeps the action mood going, though I found it a little hard edged. Maybe roll off some of the high frequencies? That's a minor complaint though. This was fun!
