WriteItUp!
So lets go way back.. Way back to June 21st 2006. After just finishing our massive effort to convert hundreds of millions of records from the database server and nearly rewire the game from scratch, we felt a bit burned out on server development. So what better to do when you are burned out than to take 2 1/2 days and create a new concept for a music game?! 
Today we present you with the early stages of a new concept we call “SpinItUp”. A music game at heart that judges on mouse position rather than just timing alone. It takes some getting used to but within a few plays you should be hitting 75%-85% average accuracy.
Keep in mind that alpha release is extremely stripped down in order to show you the basics. Near future development will allow for some really fantastic options. Double waves, spinner waves, all waves are modular and can be easily created and added to the game. Did I mention that this game is 100% compatible with all existing FFR levels?
This version of SpinItUp will allow you to play 1 song with simple post game results. New levels to arrive soon.

*IMPORTANT NOTE* – You MUST have Flash player 8 installed in order to see the game correctly. If you don’t have it, you can snag it from HERE
Make sure to read the –> Here are a couple of quick docs to help get you started.
% of accuracy is based upon positioning of your “paddle” when the wave hits
Combos can be attained by keeping 80% accuracy from wave to wave
Keys Z, X, C are active but reserved a demo level being released in the next few days
Keep practicing, LD has achieved 90%+ accuracy ratings

I really enjoy this. Probably a huge fling, but I’d love to see how this turns out. It’s got a lot of potential. Bravo on it, it’s great so far.
Posted at 10:42pm on June 24th, 2006
Damn, it’s tough. My highest combo is always around 75 and my percent lies in 85-90 all the time =/

yo
Posted at 7:17am on June 25th, 2006
yeah i completly agree with monkeybomb ” as i loaded up the game and was waiting for the demo to finish,i then realized i was playing by the end of it still got 47 % lolcakes .
damn hard to get a decentcombo though , game rocks !!
Posted at 8:59am on June 25th, 2006
the different arrow collors in FFR could add to the ease of seeing the order IMO different collored bars would help
Posted at 10:56am on June 25th, 2006
With this game there is a 360 degree circle. You have more options for bar placement. In the demo you only have 4 places to move your mouse. Not sure how many can tell on that. I would like to see bars all over the place. Then the songs directly taken from ffr to the spinitup would be obsolete, but it would really add alot to the game. It is a great game. I will like to see how it turns out.
Posted at 11:15am on June 25th, 2006
cool game
Posted at 11:34am on June 25th, 2006
Fun game. This should create expansion of the site very well.
Thanks for another job well done.
Posted at 12:36pm on June 25th, 2006
Wow…this game is really fun. Don’t be hesitant to make more songs!
Posted at 12:55pm on June 25th, 2006
Honestly, not trying to be mean.. but this game is horrible.
Also, it’s bad enough we are ruining our wrists playing FFR, but this game will just kill us.
Posted at 2:00pm on June 25th, 2006
Good game, I like the idea, and of course there will be improvements but one that I think should be made immedietly is to make something pop up in the middle that says you hit it, because it’s very difficult to move on to the next bar when you cant tell whether you’ve hit the current bar yet. Like FFR, just a bright PERFECT or something would be nice.
And a bigger improvement to this game would be to make a much larger version, like a full screen version that instead of just stretching the .swf, it was actually that large so that you have more space between bars.
Good work guys.

so… nonlinear… my brain hurts
Posted at 3:10pm on June 25th, 2006
holy crap i got 94.6%
Posted at 3:27pm on June 25th, 2006
That’s nice
Just a few things:
).
)
The circle is way to close to the edge of the flash window, I keep moving my curser outside the window(It’s REALLY annoying
When you combo-get the (erhhhh… notes?) they should disapear.
I find the circles that appear with the % of correctness really fustrating.
I think it would be nice if your paddle would light more up when you hit the notes (you could make an option that would adjust it
Also the thing that Malacoi said would be a neat thing.
I know… It’s still a beta… But those would be the main inprovements, if you ask me ofcause.
Nice one.

Hey your new MOD likes to ban people he doesnt like. He bans them them even if there not doing anything.
Posted at 4:26pm on June 25th, 2006
this game is ok, needs a few improvments
Posted at 6:30pm on June 25th, 2006
>.> yea….. its alright but it could use alot of things that where previously mentioned, Instructions???
Posted at 7:26pm on June 25th, 2006
Great game! My mouse hates me, so I used my tablet
To all tablet owners– use it! It’s a lot easier and fun!
I got up to 85% with max combo of 45 or so
Posted at 8:08pm on June 25th, 2006
this is frippin hard. nice concept though, but i much prefer the sound of my keys being beaten to a pulp, but seriously nice concept
Posted at 8:33am on June 28th, 2006
I agree with some other guy about it being a circle, so use all the circle for placement. 360 degrees people! Now THAT would take skills! Tres cool.
