She Comes In Colors

(Good) Friday Flash Fun: Stalwart is a tricky little avoidance platformer with charming low-fi graphics and great music.
That was really quite adorable.
In fact, I loved playing along to the (great) music so much, I'd love to see a variant on this game where I played in concert with the music, not against it. For instance, trying to capture the things it threw at me to the beat, rather than dodge them.
All the same, most worthwhile all-around!

bicyclefish, I think the Bit.Trip series is exactly that.
This game reminded me a lot of an extra-long, extra-hard version of Rhythm Tengoku.

Oh, I played it with the sound off and didn't get it at all. Will try again with it on when I'm on a computer with speakers!

Damn it all, now I'm reremembering that neat-o flash game I've never been able to refind after the first time. At least, I assume it was flash.
Anyone ever play this game where you're this little conga company of notes, following a trail that went all around the screen by pressing the appropriate arrow keys? And every time you pressed the right key, you'd get a sound, and all the sounds would sound out some well-known song as your note guys followed the trail.
And if you got an arrow wrong you'd lose a note guy, and if you lost your notes or ran out of time, it was game over. Familiar to anyone?

How do you get something to happen? I walked for several minutes after the sprint/halt instructions with nothing coming at me.

Can anyone get the mediafire download to work for the music? The link is on the musician's website: here.

Doesn't work for me. The files are on Soundcloud though. (and you can get the mp3s that way)
I loved the game though! I'm glad my 27 deaths didn't stop the game from continuing, because I surely would have just closed the window.
I loved the colors. It's like playing Smurf Bruce Lee on shrooms.

Thanks, prettypretty -- I assumed the "3" meant I had a limit of three jumps, heh.
