Pretty fun rhythm game! I like its style and character and overall it's pretty well polished!
First wanted to make a video on this game but couldn't get our recording computer to actually play the game correctly. Basically it lagged really hard so kind of impossible to play with bad lag.
Second I am able to play it on my laptop which is more powerful. Was able to go through all the songs with only a slight slowdown on the 1st note of I think all the songs but doesn't really effect playing at all.
Third is there anywhere to listen to the songs outside of the game because I did enjoy all the tracks and just wandering if they can be listened to without the game?
And Last really good game the gameplay is simple with just mouse controls, the different modes are fun giving players the ability to just play the song in Classic mode, give it some more challenge with arcade or really trying to push yourself with Ironbit mode.
I think that's all.
Hello! And thank you again for your initial comment which alerted me to some of the game's serious performance issues.
I just recently pushed an update for BITSHIFT OVERDRIVE which refactored a lot under the hood and should improve performance significantly on all systems. If you'd be interested in trying out the new version, I would love to know if you have a better experience with v1.1 or if there are still any issues. ◠‿◠
Happy to report that it works on my computer now and doesn't have any issues I can easily see without really trying to break your game so good job. Also tried it with all the settings turned on and it didn't slow down or anything. So I believe the new update fixed the performance issues that where previously present.
Thanks for getting back to me on this! Very happy to hear that the game is performing as intended ~ 👍
