It is kinda innovative and nice. I wished the sounds of hitting white obstacles fit the music somehow. :)

The music is kinda pointless, seeing as the bars don't really follow the beat nor the tune. And the controls are a bit buggy at times. Still, good effort.
As mentioned by nonetheless, the noise of hitting black / not hitting white (e.g: of failing ;) ) are annoying over the music. You could have tried dimming the music volume to indicate a failure maybe ?
I did try to do some MIR a while back, I would be curious to know what algorithm you ended up using ?
Nice idea, but the sound has too little impact on the game.
Probably, you could improve it a bit and make it more challenging and entertaining (like moving the ball).
Nice game! Cool aesthetics, and the music was also ok. The controls were sometimes a tad buggy but were ok overall. The blipping sound fitted the looks of the game. Kudos for including so many songs and the cool menu structure :)
The music is not on sync with the bars, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a rhythm game :( Also the shrinking and growing feels a bit ... stiff. With some work, it would be nice!
The menu system presents your game nicely. :P The volume slider and 'Test' button was blissful.
I didn't feel that the playing field complemented the music. Maybe me version of the game has errors?
Very innovative. The only issue not mentioned in your "features" list was the sounds were a bit jarring because they didn't fit with the music. It works for when you hit the black bars (that SHOULD be jarring, as you made a mistake), but not so much for the white bars. I'd say either make sure it matches up (which is very tough, I know) or get rid of the sound when you hit a white bar.
Good idea! Too bad the music doesn't influence the patterns of the bars.
