Last Beta Hop

Added 2 more songs to the Rap/Hip-Hop section of FFR making that section complete with 4 songs. Tomorrow we start the next genre of music. DISCO? maybe..

More Beta Hop

Just added a second song in the Rap/Hip-Hop section. I couldn’t resist. Feel free to email me if you have any ideas that could make the game better! We are in the middle of changing the loader into something a little more user friendly and will be reduce the filesize of the engine (hopefully by 50k or more). Graphics are always being refined. Current version is Beta .32

Beta Hop

Added a beta level for the second set of 4 songs of which the genre will be Rap/Hip-Hop. The arrows are far from perfect but it should give you something to do while you are waiting. As always the each levels/songs Hi-Score is separate from the others. To get the song just click that little green navigation arrow on the bottom left side of the screen.. Have fun!

Chaos

Some of you may have noticed a little bit of chaos in the last 10 minutes or so. I have been updating files on the server. The good news is that we have a few new features and bug fixes in the new version online. You will notice that the combo graphics look new and are easier to read. You will also notice that you are judged on how well your timing is via “Perfect” “Good” “Average” graphics during the game.. Average used to be ‘Almost’ but since we count it as +5 points, we thought we would call it average. Fixed some issues with the arrows taking away from your meter during the fade at the end of the level. We are getting there.. 1 revision at a time.

Amazed

I am just amazed at how I cannot even place in the top 10 on any song anymore. I guess that is what I get when I play with the pro’s . I have been working in my spare time today to fix a few issues with FFR(The way it loads & fix the point issue at the end of a level). A new version will go up sometime tomorrow with some bugfixes and a few new graphics. We are also working on a downloadable version for those of you on 56k that do not want to wait. We just need to put in some version checking routines and need to make sure there are no score issues when executed remotely. I would expect a 3-4 meg download for the entire game with levels.

Whoops

Score recording was disabled for a portion of the day but is now enabled again.

First News

We launched Beta version .28 today which includes a level selector and 4 levels. Combinations are now easier to attain as we have relaxed the timing window for combos. Scores will be significantly effected..
