I have downloaded a couple songs and gotten them to play in the game as custom songs - the only problem is they are slowed down instead of playing at regular speed (this happens only in the game - the audio files themselves are fine). I've tried changing the tempo, but it doesn't appear to affect the song playback at all. Any ideas?
this is a really good game but i think if it had more modes this could game could be way better i think a mania mode would be great still this is a great game
Played for about a half-hour and found this game to be pretty fun and addictive. It is very cute and the music is very catchy and nostalgic. As long as the music keeps going, I'm motivated to keep going as far as I can.
-A one button mode (you press one button for all the notes)
-A mode without slowdown and speed-up (to keep the flow)
-An easier way to add custom tracks, maybe an option in the menu
Other than that, a question: For custom tracks, do i only have to write the track's name and BPM in their respective files or do i have to put the audio file somewhere?
The game's ok. It has alot of issues holding it back, though.
The automatic generation for music to let it go on endlessly isn't the best at making it feel on-beat. The slow down/speed up mechanic is game-ending at the worst of times due to the difference in beat speed--- distracting at best. It ruins the flow of the song and comes out of nowhere, not like there's much of a rhyme or a reason for the beat placement.
The control scheme is awful-feeling to me, that being the arrow keys--- And no way the rebind the controls. I understand alot of people are comfortable with using the arrow keys, but... I feel like being able to customize the inputs would add alot of comfort to the game.
There can be better than this game, but there's definitely worse rhythm games. This has alot of potential, if it's worked on.
Button prompts do not match well with music. Also, the "hold" notes look too similar to the regular notes and I missed a bunch before I even realized what I was doing wrong. Please fix these issues!
i downloaded the game but when i try to run it windows says that, Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk. does anyone know the solution to this
Yea. feels like the buttons to press are basicly randomly generated to somewhat fit the song's BPM and nothing else. The idea is good but i dont think this kind of execution can work as well as they want it to.
i've followed all the instructions (made sure the song i'm adding is in .wav format and copying it to the game folder, noted down its name and bpm in the game folder in Appdata/Local) but it's not showing up!
Really cool game, in particular i liked the graphics of the game, though I also initially dealt with the "poking" method, but also soon I started the game.
After playing for a while, I thought that in the game at the moment you can click on the "bits", after I saw the "bits" of a larger size. Using a certain number of lives, I realized that you need to press a certain arrow on the keyboard. But it was very fun to learn it myself :)
Also useful tips for novice players:
Start the game with a space
Entering a name using the keyboard
Switching to the menu using the arrows If you want to do something using the keyboard, keep the rule of arrows, space, and Escape keys in your head.
This game is great. The amount of polish it has is insane. Great job Ben, just let's hope that next ldjam game remake won't happen right after this one :X
Hi! I've only played the demo but I like the game a lot! That said I have a few concerns...
-The visual polish is great (personal preference but a majority blue UI kind of makes the colourful characters feel flat... thought not an issue I think would be shared by many) , but whenever a slider pops up and I'm in the zone I kind of miss it a lot of the time because it is kind of just lighter blue on blue.
-The music is amazing but the speeding and slowing mechanic is kind of jarring for me? I'm not sure if it's preference but when the meter fills up and the music slows down I tend to miss the next note or so because it messes my timing, same for when it speeds back up again, maybe if it were a toggle or something it'd be ok?
-While I understand the levels are procedurally generated a lot of the beats feel very random? It doesn't quite play like a rhythm game in that I can tap to the beat (which does work to some extent) but more like me watching the bar and guessing when I should tap it.
-This last one could be completely unfounded if you can change settings in the paid game but cramping the buttons to only the arrow keys feels kind of clunky. Not only am I forced to fit all my fingers in one area (considering I'm playing it with 2 hands) but also it actively encourages one handed play, which may work for some people but coming from other rhythm games I find being able to divide my attention over the keyboard more comfortable and easier.
With that said I see a lot of potential in the game! I'm not a game designer so I don't know these mechanics all the way through, but I would love to see where this can go next!

You have to choose the actual bpm of the track. You can google how to get that.
how did you exactly put the music and/or the text files? I need to so bad!!!
The real question is how do you start the game?
press space
FIND THAT BITC-eat
how do you fullscreen
you can't.
go to the settings and tick off the fullscreen box
Good game but i think maybe adding WASD as usable buttons would be good for those who mainly use those, or just have really small arrow buttons.
whats the start bottom
on the loading screen, press space bar. After putting in your name, do the down arrow then space.
great game maybe make it download compatible for chromebook or am i the only one
Astounding game, BUT there needs to be a pause button lol
Um can some one tell me how you get past the user name place PLEASE
Use the down button and then press space to select the continue button. :)
really good nice wor
HOW TO GET PAST NAME SCREEN

WHAT ARE THE CONTROLS IDK HOW TO GET PAST THE NAME PART I PRESSED EERYTHING AND I MEAN EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

How
Press the down arrow then space bar once you're done with your name
Help, I can't get past the title it just says start game and I can't do anything with my mouse or keyboard!
NVM I was just being dumb.

this game is so fun lol. can't wait for revita!
Played for about a half-hour and found this game to be pretty fun and addictive. It is very cute and the music is very catchy and nostalgic. As long as the music keeps going, I'm motivated to keep going as far as I can.
I'd love to see some features:
-A one button mode (you press one button for all the notes)
-A mode without slowdown and speed-up (to keep the flow)
-An easier way to add custom tracks, maybe an option in the menu
Other than that, a question: For custom tracks, do i only have to write the track's name and BPM in their respective files or do i have to put the audio file somewhere?
THANKS, AND KEEP ON UPDATING THE GAME.
-Pira :)
I would love those features in the game! But I'm pretty sure they have custom tracks in the download version.
do you know how to add them? i downloaded the game followed the "how to add custom music.txt" and it doesn't work
no idk how to add them, sorry! D:
Very juicy game!!!
the game is good, but i don't get how to add custom songs
wonderful chiptone!
Can't input a name. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or the game is broken.
I am doing something wrong, just move down with the down arrow key. A prompt would be nice.
not the only one
I'm gonna be honest

can't get past the input name screen
Press the down arrow to select the confirm name buttton, then press the space bar.

Jus run it
i love this game
i love the game but i need help with custom sadly i wont play the game untill i get help
Visually appealing, really thought it was going to be great but the gameplay feels odd.
Looks at 100, but the rhythm with the music is loosely connected, just press the arrow buttons when the icons are suitable
Yea. feels like the buttons to press are basicly randomly generated to somewhat fit the song's BPM and nothing else. The idea is good but i dont think this kind of execution can work as well as they want it to.
i love this game :D
I Love this game but i need a little bit of help putting custom songs on help would be great
this.
i've followed all the instructions (made sure the song i'm adding is in .wav format and copying it to the game folder, noted down its name and bpm in the game folder in Appdata/Local) but it's not showing up!
You did a great job with this game, it looks and sounds great. I had a lot of fun playing!

And let music come with you!
I hate my computer for not run this in a good fps, but nice job, the art is just beautiful

The game page is super nice, great job!

Great work man, the level of polish is incredible :D
Thanks for your help in development! Without your help, I would have probably canceled it somewhere inbetween. xD
