Hey! Huge fan of the game so far, have been for the past few months. difficulty: have you completed the previous demo, and how enjoyable was the difficulty on this one? were the swing rhythms (DUM daDUM daDUM daDUM) and inverse swing rhythms (daDUM daDUM daDUM da) intuitive enough to not require explanation?ģ. are you a piano player, and as a player / non-player, do you feel the changing focus of rows managed to emphasise the dichotomy of treble and bass? when switching from the bottom row to playing the first four for example was it obvious that you were now following the bass melody?Ģ. For those who play it, feedback on the following would be much appreciated!ġ. This latest level serves to introduce swing beats. You'll only get to play the level that is currently being worked on of course, so keep checking back here for new levels lest you miss out Come hang out!
#RHYTHM DOCTOR SECRET UPDATE#

There is a topic in the Playtesting section already, but I thought it would be better to post the minor updates over here, and also we'd like to hopefully update more frequently on a weekly-ish basis. but hey it was the most popular thing), testing it in different browsers and Flash versions, and I have come to the conclusion that the following is what you need so that the game registers a hit only when you are PRECISELY on time (within 0.02s):Ī lot of thought went on whether I should just make the margins wider to compensate for lag, but then that would just turn this game into just a typical Guitar Hero / Rock Band game which I don't want. Many, many hours were spent making the engine accurate (Flash is not a good choice for millisecond accuracy. Most of the work believe it or not was making the engine precise enough to be playable.

I've been working on this on and off for two summers now. This means many people don't even realise their rhythm is a little off until they play Rhythm Heaven.
#RHYTHM DOCTOR SECRET SERIES#
Rhythm Doctor is a tough ONE-BUTTON rhythm game heavily inspired by Rhythm Heaven!įor those who haven't played Rhythm Heaven, the defining feature of the series is the extremely strict margin of error, compared to any other music game out there. Made me smile all the way through! Thanks BluBerryGamer

It has a resonance to it that most flash games don't." - Clumpy "You've really nailed that quirky Japanese game sort of personality, that often really quirky and surreal sense of humor with a gentle sort of grounding to it.

(.) Rhythm is in everything, and I'm glad the developers found it in medicine." "The base mechanic and premise of Rhythm Doctor are gold for me. "a rad Rhythm Paradise-esque browser game (.) sadistically difficult."
