    Just as a heads up: our latest app, Rhythmatic, is expected to be live in the store very soon!
     
  2. Reminds me of Tapic. Any gameplay videos?

    Here's a gameplay video of Rhythmatic being played on an iPad.

    Being a pretty hard-core rhythm game fan myself, I was super excited when Tapic came out. My biggest gripe was always that the tap tracks were just too darned easy, so you can rest assured that Rhythmatic can make your songs as difficult (or as easy I suppose... :p) as you want.

    Video shows a song on Hard and a song on Easy. There are four difficulty modes total and the option to play 3, 4, or 5 lanes.

     
  6. Looks amazing, looking forward to it. What about the price?

    Nice gameplay vid. Probably gonna pick it up now after seeing it in action.

    The price right now is set at $1.99, but there is the possibility of a little opening-day surprise ;)
     
  9. I love rhythm games, but there aren't many good ones in the App Store that allow you to use your own tracks. For a such a low price (with an opening day "surprise"), I just can't refuse. :p

    Love the idea of this. A low priced enjoyable way to listen to my music on the bus into uni everyday will get a ton of use. My skepticism lies with the gameplay video posted, where the tap notes look almost at random and don't seem in much relation to the music - mirror areas of the songs seem to produce different notes.

    Are you guys still working on fine tuning this?

    Agreed, and glad to hear it! :)

    Point well taken, and yes we are working to fine tune our algorithm -- especially for harder difficulties where beat detection is highly sensitive. It's interesting how we humans are so good at detecting beats while computers are so naturally bad!

    The algorithm is far from perfect, but we're making pretty regular progress on it. I'd also submit that it is much easier to feel the beats when you're actually playing as opposed to watching a video. Similarly, the beats do seem to match up a bit better when you're wearing headphones!

    Still, to your point, plenty of progress to be made :)

    I love rhythm games and this looks amazing. Is there any feedback if you miss a beat?

    Hey thanks! As of now, missed notes will cause the screen to get darker and less crazy (and there's a "MISS" that pops up). Sorry that isn't very apparent in the video -- Bryson's pretty good at rhythm games. :p

    One thing we've been considering is adding (as an option) a sound for when you miss notes. If people are interested, that shouldn't be too difficult to add in an update.

    This will definitely be an instant purchase for me, any idea when it will hit the app store?

    is it just me? or the only thing this game does is play the song and throw some random gameplay, cause i don't see much sync of the gameplay with the beats...
