Interesting game. It's a very clever way of representing beats in time as a path through space. For some reason I find it...a weird combination of hard and easy. Somehow I never know when the level is going to start; I get ready to hit the beat and then I find that I've already died. It happens like a DOZEN times at the start of EACH level. But then when I FINALLY start early enough to go with the beat, I almost always go through to the end with no problem. I just can't help feeling the actual 'play' should start later on each level.

I think you should add a mode where if you hit too early, you're dead too. And less-harsh modes where you're done if you hit early 3x, and both early & late 3x (or 2x. I'm saying 'lives' of some sort would be cool, and eliminate the spam-mash strategy).
Great, great game.
Addicting but has no end.
It goes on forever...
After 1.4x I activated a bot that clicks every 0 milliseconds...
At 4.299998x you broke my graphics card and my bot couldn't even keep up.
I'll give it a 4.5/5 because it has no end and broke my graphics card.
Oh my god! This game is as addictive as hell! Great work!
This game is awesomely fun and addicting! But there's an exploit: if you mash buttons, you'll never die. Missing the beat BEFORE the circle is over it doesn't cause you to die. So you can spam your way to victory.
Besides that exploit, I'd give this a 5/5. Really fun concept, and excellent Ludum jam game!
