noice, very cool, but the down beat is off? XD
makes it hard to click in time?

playing on the browser version, the timing of the down beat lags behind, making two diffrent tempos.  somthing to do with how the downbeat is updated? 

here's a recording of what it sounded like for me.

Oh no, that's weird. You should be able to mute the music on the pause menu and just play with the beat . Not as cool but should be good enough :)
