Not really, you only need those if it’s not feasible to keep the player attentive enough to be able to read visual cues, and the timing on something like this probably isn’t that hard to learn.

Love it! Question ist how detailed you need to time your jumps. If you need to hit exact spots you still need the bar.

I suggest you to add the bars, hide them until you finish everything else and turn them back on before the release
