This is quite nice to watch, though the retro levels give me eyestrain, and nothing gives me eyestrain, it's weird.

Also, I don't like how there is no music there. Super Meat Boy had great 8-bit style tunes for its retro levels, I guess bit.trip is already 8 bit (?), but complete silence is jarring in what's supposedly a rhythm game...
You could fill it with commentary ;).

Good lord those minecarts in the background are disgusting - I must have missed at least 5 meteors that moved precisely alongside them. Their speed is too synched, and the carts are too big - I didn't even realize that they were in the background at first!

Some of the jumping sequences later in the video were quite beautiful, though. I feel like this can only get better and better!

And echoing the complaints about the score system - it makes zero sense except for a cheap "numbers big" gratification, which immediately becomes laughable parody considering how big the numbers are.
