How it feels

A minimalist rhythm game that demands precise two-handed coordination between keyboard and mouse to perform piano masterpieces, with a punishing but musical challenge.

What players say

Players are split on this piano rhythm game: some love the challenge and relaxing classical music, while others say the controls are counter-intuitive and timing feels off, making it nearly unplayable. The lack of a helpful tutorial and controller support is a common complaint.
