i liked the firing in tempo with the beat and the musical motif with the ui, enemies, and background! the art and music works well together, and the ui looks great as well! good work!

This is a cool interpretation of the theme. I like the idea of firing with the rhythm. It's always cool when games sync to the music. I also appreciate the unique interpretation of scale as a musical scale. The UI for the pulsing circle inside the cannon is very well designed. My biggest point of feedback would be to make the enemies a bit more threatening and/or reduce the size of the arena. I would also suggest breaking your combo if you click with the wrong timing so you can't spam.

But overall, good job!

You bring up some good points! We're definitely considering adding an extra layer of polish to our game after the voting period has ended. All in all, we're glad that you enjoyed our game!

I like the idea, although the main game mechanic with the keys is a bit enigmatic. nice pixelart and the fact that it is music themes is a plus! well done

Thank you so much for the feedback! We'll admit that the scale discovery system hasn't been fully polished. However, if you'd like to find an interesting scale, try adding every note on the keyboard!

Neat! I'll give that a shot.
