I don't think I like any of these ideas!

Interval tiks would add "noise" to a game that has very limited output. How would I know if those tiks are the interval or the pattern?

I don't think I've ever gotten two correct in a row, but the fun of the gameplay comes from slowly learning the rhythm over a few tries. It's not entirely unlike Celeste or Super Meat Boy, where you learn the level over multiple attempts.

I'm worried that I would trigger any sort of menu accidentally. Two fingers might work but if I'm walking or something and gripping the phone in weird ways...

I will say that while walking home this afternoon, there was one pattern I got stuck on. Every other pattern, I was able to get past after a reasonable number of tries, but this one just seemed impossible and I had to quit and re-open the app. So I agree there either needs to be some way to skip patterns, or the pattern generation needs to be tweaked to avoid super hard outliers.

Edit: Fwiw, my stats are: 116 total attempts, 20 correct, 2 max in a row.

Thanks for posting this - I understand everything you're saying as well and will definitely balance all the feedback I am getting when making changes in a future update. I want to preserve the aspect of the game where it takes a couple tries to get past a sequence, but not too many to the point that it is irritating.

Triggering the menu by accident is a valid concern as well.

I will try and think of creative ways to balance all of this and make the end experiance even better. I appreciate your feedback!
