Concept
Run the music track as fast and correctly as possible! If things are going too fast, you can slow down the playing, or if it is too slow, increase the pace!
You need to run through the beginning of a notebar to do it correctly, you can run away from it to position yourself for the next bar whenever you want.
Should you miss one of the note bars, you will get a penalty score added to the score based on your time. The penalty score is equivalent to one second of time. To help you out if you should miss a note bar, the time slows down a little as well. Remember, you can allways speed up if you want to, though sometimes it may be tactical to slow down... a lot!
Controls during play:
Up-arrow / numpad 8 : Move up
Down-arrow / numpad 2 : Move down
Left-arrow / numpad 4 : Slow down
Right-arrow / numpad 6 : Speed up
End game:
S - To submit a high score
SPACE - To return to menu
Menu
SPACE - To start
T - To play track (speed can be adjusted during this mode)
H - Show high scores
C - To show the credits
Took me ages to find a classic music score without sharps or flats, some length and some variation (not same note played after each other too repeatedly).
If this is a music sprint, would anyone be up to a music marathon? ;)

I am quite certain it is impossible to finish without going below 100% speed, but it may be possible to finish at a time signature equal to 100% speed, you just have to compensate with more speed in some sections.
I found the song kind of ironic to the situation... It isn't really like you are going to have time to fall asleep ;)
I like how intuitive it is, but can be incredibly difficult to do well. Nice going!
I like the idea, but there's a reason other music based games have separate keys for each note. It is much faster and less annoying that way. Yep, I got annoyed by the controls.
Otherwise it is solid work all around.

Excellent idea! I'm not sure it's possible to finish on 100% speed!!
Good choice for song - it's pretty reasonable although with a couple of challenging jumps. Good work!
