Awesom, vibrant graphics. I liked the rhythm element too

Somehow I keep winding up in spectator mode?

ecool377 2012-12-18 00:43

i love it.

This is fantastic, and I'm sorry you haven't had more comments yet!
Great to see some node.js work in here - I'll send this on to some nodey friends of mine - they'll enjoy it.

Very fun. Hard to get the hang of.

@enfyrneaux When you die you watch the rest of the game in spectator mode, if you ended up there without dying then that's a problem.

had a problem on one of my computers 'Connection lost', and before that, always a javascript alert [event Object] or sth. Might have been because that computer is behind a proxy. Tested on my mac, and it worked

Cool game, I also got connection lost in the middle of the game

pierrec 2012-12-18 12:37

Waiting for connection for 15 minutes...:/
Sounds good though. I'll tried later

One of the nicest looking entries I've seen so far!

I would have liked to use the keyboard to control my rotation, otherwise nice work.

Hmm... I'll need to look into the connection errors when I get back home. For now I've fixed the error reporting, so if you got [event Object] then you should try again and report back what it says. Thanks for all the feedback, those of you that could play!

Also, I think the server is trying to delete the data of those who are erroring and therefore breaking the game for everyone else, so I'm gonna add a few sanity checks to the server.

Fixed server bugs and bugs where the music desyncs and really messes with the gameplay.

It was definitely a cool and interesting game. A bit hard to get the hang out of at first, but nice to play anyways. :) The 30-second waiting screen was a bit obnoxious and I had to click away to avoid looking at it. Otherwise the game looked awesome! Great job!

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-19 04:12

lovely and very cool! Presentation is amazing as well!

Love the graphics/atmosphere, and the gameplay is a fun twist on rhythm gaming. A bit tough at first, and the 30 second wait is kind of annoying, but the possibility of cooperative play is pretty neat

rhy3756547 2012-12-21 15:31

The 30 second wait was so you could pull together a bunch of people to playthrough a whole sitting, but I never managed to make the game long enough to justify it.

All I got was a filled (past bounds) loading bar with some music playing.
Browser is Firefox 17.0.1.

rhy3756547 2012-12-22 01:36

Works fine on my Firefox 17.0.1. Not sure what the problem is.

amidos2006 2012-12-22 08:21

Wooow its difficult but nice :)

ddrkirbyisq 2012-12-29 09:07

Good idea, nice execution!

retrac 2012-12-29 15:47

Overall this game was great. It was a little difficult to get used to but was still fun to play nonetheless. I think having an offline mode would be really good here, so players can avoid the 30 second wait if they want a solo match. Congratulations on a great game and good luck in the future.

ddrkirbyisq 2012-12-30 07:38

Just got a chance to try the multiplayer, pretty neat! *thumbs up*

Looks and sounds so nice! Great job there!
