Reviews for Rythm Tetris

[ElegantGremlin]

Could use a bit of work

While it's a nice concept, I noticed some things that aren't "bugs" but could be changed.

A) When you press down to make the blocks move down, you should be able to release it and have the block start moving at normal speed again.

B) The beat detector is unforgiving. It seems that if you aren't precisely on the beat, you don't hit it; no window for error. This is the kind of game where you get into a rhythm and once you miss one note, you're going to miss the next couple till you can adjust.

C) You shouldn't be able to go into negative points. Partially for the reason in B). If you miss one note when you're in a rhythm, you're going to miss the next few and you can end up digging yourself a hole before you even make a line.

Oh... and I gave you 10 for humour based solely on the fact the default name for the scoreboard was "Illiterate" and you spelt Rhythm wrong in the title.

A) yepp, that's how it is in normal tetris, but it wouldn't work when you only can press 'on beat'. New game, new rules.

B) All too true. Although "precisely" is kind relative, what would be the point if you didn't have to stay on beat?

C) That's noted, it might be too large a deduction. I had to put it in because otherwise the player can just spam the controls and not be on beat at all.

Oh) Now that's humor :D. I realised I spelt rhythm wrong when I uploaded it to newgrounds but I couldn't be bothered. I'm not native english speaker and can't see why anyone would want more that one 'h' in any word ^^.

An ok twist on tetris.

Definitly new, this game brings originality to the table. Unfortuneatly the poor sync of it is its downfall. All the songs were synced in the exact same pattern and the beat meter was extremely hard to follow. Negative scores really destroy the fun of this game but otherwise the idea is new.

Graphix:simple
Style:New n original
Sound: Gets repetitive
Violence:none
Interactivity: Hitting keys to the beat didnt seem to be to the main or loudest beat at all...rather a more metronome type pressing time.
Humour:none

Overall: Good game, needs a few more things to make gameplay more enjoyable like better sync and different score system. Best of luck in the competition.

Peace,

Thanks for the review! I was going for something new but where you had to stay in rhythm (not merely generating enemies to the beat). Then i didn't wanna make complicated beats because that would have made it too hard i think =P. Perhaps Metromone Tetris would have been more accurate...

I the end it seem like making a Guitar Hero type game would have gotten me lots of higher scores, but maybe originality WILL count for something :D!

gREAT CONCEPT!

A suggestion: make the BLOCKS flash instead of the beatometer. I think that way it would be more intuitive.
Keep them coming!

Awesome Idea

But seriously i dont think anyone likes playing to the beat, it hink we all enjoy playing and listening to music at the same TIME but not playing with the beat

It needs work but the concept was great!
the speeding up needs work.
