I don't like to be the one throwing negativity into a positive topic but as someone who's played a ton of DDR/Stepmania, Guitar Hero and Rock Band the timing just feels off and the note patterns are somewhat messy. I imagine it'd work well for songs with a clearly defined beat and less vocals, but for stuff with 4+ instruments it gets kinda lost. It's not even close to manual note placement. ninjackid Well-Known Member May 27, 2010 9,380 2 38 #8 ninjackid, Jun 21, 2011 That stinks... :/ I'll still try it out for free, but it doesn't look too promising... MystikSun Well-Known Member Dec 18, 2009 1,443 0 36 #9 MystikSun, Jun 21, 2011 That makes sense. I usually use it with songs of the dance/pop/soundtrack genre.

Please try again later." message that usually shows up when an app is going from free to pay. Looks like I missed the deal. Oh well. chess Well-Known Member Jun 17, 2011 436 0 0 #11 chess, Jun 22, 2011 If you're looking for something close to manual note placement using discrete tracks, you won't find it in any game like this. I also find that the higher difficulties turn into a bit of a mess as the game tries to interpret every sound. But if you approach it as sort of an abstract interpretation of a song to occupy you while you listen to music, it's a good time. I play on easy with 5-lanes, and that seems to be the sweet spot for this game. Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #12 Habakuk, Jun 22, 2011 Doesn't work at all with my music (techno, electro), tried three songs… Ashflow Well-Known Member Jan 9, 2011 787 0 0 MI #13 Ashflow, Jun 22, 2011 Downloaded this and played some of my newly acquired S&S LP songs () and it worked marvelously. Extremely fun and very timely gameplay. I tried some songs with vocals, and it didn't do as well, but it was still accurate for the most part (all of this is on 5 keys and medium or hard difficulty). And yes, on extreme difficulty the rythym does seem to be off... as if a bunch of notes are just added in to make it harder Glad it's free. P.S. You see that "it's" in the sentence above? I had to put in the apostrophe myself! (I'm on my iPod.) Outrageous! banlieue Well-Known Member May 22, 2011 86 0 0 #14 banlieue, Jun 22, 2011 Downloading it! and the second freebie today I have been longing for this, can't wait to try!! Thanks a lot!! Herosoft Ltd Well-Known Member Nov 23, 2010 155 0 0 #15 Herosoft Ltd, Jun 22, 2011 Even picking songs with clearly-defined beats it matches very poorly. Like the majority of "automatic" rhythm-action games it feels like playing some random tapping game while you happen to have music on, rather than the music being in any way connected to the game. The presence of the music actually makes it harder. Vague Rant Member Jun 5, 2011 20 0 0 http://vaguerant.tumblr.com/ #16 Vague Rant, Jun 22, 2011 It looks like this was just a temporary issue, as I was able to get it after trying a couple of hours later. My experiences basically mirror the rest of the thread--the extent to which taps line up with music varies greatly across tracks and genres. When it works (most often with pared-back acoustic music), it can almost feel like the taps were hand placed. When it doesn't (with ... all the rest of my music), trying to tap to the beat will probably only screw you up. It's close enough to where you habitually try to do that, and it's difficult to train yourself not to. It's an admirable effort--nice looking, does a decent job of automatically analysing music--but not ultimately a great game, mostly due to the limits of its concept. To counteract some of that negativity, I will say that it's fun when it works, and I won't delete it ... right away. chess Well-Known Member Jun 17, 2011 436 0 0 #17 chess, Jun 22, 2011 Every time I add a song to the library, I run through it. If it works then cool, if not, I delete it. I find that many of my songs work, and many don't, but I'm not losing sleep over it...especially at the price of one Rock Band song...or free in this case. banlieue Well-Known Member May 22, 2011 86 0 0 #18 banlieue, Jun 26, 2011 Disappointed me so much as I have been longing for this, just played half a song and deleted it. Seems to me the rhythm has little connection with performance, the music just played to its own pace and showed me some "great" meanwhile. BUMMER! Vague Rant Member Jun 5, 2011 20 0 0 http://vaguerant.tumblr.com/ #19 Vague Rant, Jun 26, 2011 Of course you're not going to like it after one song, this whole thread has been about the mixed results we've all had. Some songs work, some don't. It's pointless to express any opinion about something you played for only a minute. swimminsurfer256 New Member Sep 17, 2011 1 0 0 #20 swimminsurfer256, Sep 17, 2011 There's a free version out on the app store now!
