"Song creation is messy."

Is there a way to create the song in frets using the arrow keys? JKL; are way too close together for me and I'd like to be able to set the keys myself. Or just slow down the rate of scrolling so as to make complicated songs easier for the player to catch up with. For that matter, placing the notes in a text file and importing it would add more precision, I noticed some songs had inconsistent timing.

There was room for more upgrade paths but I like the concept. I actually managed to beat the final boss with no upgrades just by timing my moves carefully and dodging attacks. Decorating the robot was fun, but one or two more logo choices would be cool. Overall, good game with room to expand.

Score: 4

Having a lives limit makes it go from fun puzzle game to frustrating chore, which is why I stopped playing when I got to the precision-aiming puzzles in Set 3. Having to make these precision aims with the mouse was frustrating, I'd almost prefer to manually set the speed and direction with sliders because the controls make it more reflex than puzzle. Finally, the game lost points in my ranking because you seem to have forgotten something important:

YOU ARE NOT GLaDOS.

Interrupting me after every puzzle to tell me that something happened was rather annoying, especially as I already knew what I did wrong because I read the tutorial before starting. Yes, there's a tutorial, I got it. I read it all before even clicking on the start button, and then you tried to show it to me again. I'm at least glad you let me skip it the second time. But the combination tutorial before playing + tutorial again before REALLY playing + in-game tutorial that fails to be the guiding role of even a twisted mastermind A.I. = no incentive to keep playing the difficult puzzles with hairpin trigger timing.

All that being said, the puzzles themselves were great. You got points back for great level design.

Score: 9

*jaw drops*

well, that was... umm. Are there words for how awesome your rock tracks are?
I guess a 5/5 and 9/10 will have to do. This is just amazing.

P.S. I found your music page after hearing one of your songs in "Incubus Pulsum" while looking through the archives of the old "Rock Out" contest. Just so you know what sort of people you're reaching.
