Nice job. I run a relatively popular Simon Ear Training game for piano/guitar (link on my bio if interested) so always happy to see more musical edutainment games.
Some feedback as a musician: in general, you want to avoid a metronome that maps to distinct pitches (in your case, it sounded like E on the downbeat and A on the others) because it can subtly interfere with new learners as they build a mental connection between notes and pitches.

Yeah, offering multiple sounds is actually a pretty common approach in lots of music software / DAWs. Some people like a woodblock sound, while others prefer the traditional metronome sound you'd hear from a mechanical escapement mechanism, etc.

Hey, thanks, I will check your projects!
Interesting, I didn't think about the beat pitch stuff, I will fix it!
Still not sure if I like how it sounds, maybe I should just offer multiple options in the settings.
