Wow. Just, wow! I have been playing F2Jam1 till I dropped, praying every night for new songs or another version, and you did it!
You have got me hooked again, badly.
The graphics are really really good. However, it is pretty laggy now and then ( running on a 4.8ghz processor with 2gig of ram and a 6800GT card ). When you press a button, a sort of beam lifts off from the bottom. In the first version this looked really good. Here on the other hand, it's pretty annoying.
I play everything on speed 10-12 already, with the beam going up constantly, it overlaps the incoming notes, which makes it harder to see. I suggest you make this beam shorter.
Also, you see notes dropping down while playing all the time. This obviously looks nice, but it does cause a bit more lag, an option to turn those off would be nice.
The one thing I really liked was the improvement of soundquality. In the first F2Jam, especially in Hokages Funeral, it seemed like it echoed on forever. Here, it's perfect.
The amount of songs is great, too. I was just wondering if you are going to keep adding new songs. Or maybe create a downloadable version so you can use plug-ins to add songs because of the 10mb limit here on NG.
What I do like more in the first F2Jam, is the difference in difficulties. Speeding it up does make it harder, but having to press more keys at the same time in a high speed makes it more fun and challenging, as in the hard version of Hokage's Funeral in F2Jam 1. Maybe you could do the same here?
Now, I am not a programmer nor a good scriptwriter for flash, so I don't know whether the lag is just temporarily or might stay, but you definately have to try to reduce it.
Overall, this is a game I will have hours and hours of fun with and I'm sure you will make the end result just perfect!
