Reviews for "Beat Universe"
ZEGMAN responds:
Haha, thanks for the review
It's a great game but I'm not sure of the replay value of it. Once someone has played threw and gotten all the stars I'm not sure if it will be something someone comes back to play again later. I'm not saying that as a bad thing I'm just putting it out that this is more of a one time grind until it's done then off to other stuff game.

Thanks, that's why I made the ranking system though :D
This is a well put together variation of the rhythm click game. The interface is solid, the effects give it a nice atmosphere, and the song choice is pretty darn good. I have to give it to the creator that they did a pretty good job of putting it together.
However, like most rhythm games on the site, the actual rhythm aspect of it was off. To start, the timing of the rings is usually early or late; clicking right on the beat earns you a good whereas clicking before the beat gives you a perfect. As a percussionist this ruins the game for me, since I get a better score when I play the game without sound. Another problem that I had with the rhythm set up is that many of the songs don't seem like the creators actually consulted any percussionists when they were creating their click track. Their choice of when to use 1/8th notes and when to switch it to 1/4 notes seemed arbitrary and didn't flow naturally. It's difficult to create a natural flow when you're not a percussionist though, so I'm not letting that aspect affect my overall review score.
So, all in all, a nice game. I just hope for future releases the creator does more beta testing to make sure the beats sync better with the song (try a higher frame rate) and possibly consults a percussionist to help make the tracks.

Thanks for the feedback!
Good idea, but a bit buggy. Aka, it's desynced, plus the multi-click notes threw me off, they weren't explained in the tutorial and it confused me at first, not to mention it's very hard to keep note of their "beat" if you know what i mean. I didn't notice any difficulty slope, so it needs that as well. Won't play again unless it's updated, but definatly look forward to a sequel.
yo y'all n***a gotta play this game,
it's hella amazing
