Wow, you weren't kidding...
I really love this game and boy is it challenging! What makes it harder is that the music fades out when you mess up a note thus making you mess up even more resulting in failing the song. Happened many times sadly. I also like the random blurb when you go game over; it was quite interesting to read.
The only thing that probably bugged me the most was that you couldn't restart the song from the game over screen. Always having to go back to the menu was annoying especially if you have to try the song at least ten times over before you can beat it. I sorta gave up on beating hard mode partly because of that.
All in all, this was a very creative and original game with great choice of music. Oh yeah, congrats on winning top ten in the Rock Out Contest!
