🍒 Air Mode gets spicy
Analysis
- This game actually does the thing I always was curious about: when you're playing an instrument, you are actually triggering samples, unlike in Guitar Hero, where you just mute or unmute a prerecorded track. At times, you will play the drums, and the timing of the song can completely fall about if you're not precise.
- The music implementation seems off at times, it seems like the tracks can get out of sync. This is a Unity game, I wonder what kind of music implementation they have?
Log entries
- This is a Korean rhythm game.
- I don't understand how this game passed certification. The tutorial references keyboard keys like F9 and the Space Bar the whole way through. We had to guess all the buttons to actually play the game. And then the difficulty of the songs is ridiculously uneven.
- Hahaha, the 'Air' mode has uncensored chat messages while you play random songs. It's a glorious mess of nonsense, insults, racism, homophobia, and horny comments about the videos in English, Portugues, and Korean. Clearly, this was designed with more polite people in mind.
- I'm trying a bunch of different modes. This game is impressive in that it has hundreds of songs, all with unique visuals. Both music and visuals vary wildly in quality, but that's somehow part of its appeal.
- If you connect the keyboard to the Series X, this game works perfectly. It's actually better than gamepad. I'm trying the 6-key mode. I haven't completed a single song in this mode yet, but I will!
