New Server!

If you are seeing this post then you are officially on our new server. We have switched to completely new dedicated box which should handle our bandwidth needs.

No Time

Ok.. ok.. I didn’t get to the rest of the songs yesterday for the funk section. I promise I will work on that tonight some. I did however tackle the hi-score feature that is available everytime you roll over a song number and the song info moves in from the right. When you do this from the main screen, look on the far right. If you click on the ‘hi-score’ button it should bring up the Top 50 Hi-Scores of All Time for that level. I silently switched the scoring from recording the top 10 to the top 50 about 3 days ago when I decided that I would add this feature. As people get bumped out of the top 10 spots, they can still see their name in the top 50 from the main page. Please let me know if you find any strange bugs with these new features.
I also want to apologize for the 5 hour outage we had today. We are back up and running strong. It was nothing serious.

Beta Funk

Added the new Funk section to FFR. Hit the downward pointing green arrow until you cycle to the funk section. I just released the first song/level and will release the other 4 as the night moves on. Hope you enjoy the tunes the first funk song 1 is a whopping 1.05mb (just short of 4 mins).
I also wanted to mention that I am looking for people to supply songs and beats for these songs. Please contact me via the email at the bottom of the page if you are interested. You will get credits within the levels for your work. This is beta release .33 for those of you keeping track. P.S. Turned the volume on the looping beat (main screen) down to about 25% for those of you who wished it so.

Font Issues

Fixed a few font issues. I did not realize that the main font was not embedding. This caused some machines to display wacky fonts for the combos etc. More to come later in the day

Last Beta Hop

Added 2 more songs to the Rap/Hip-Hop section of FFR making that section complete with 4 songs. Tomorrow we start the next genre of music. DISCO? maybe..

More Beta Hop

Just added a second song in the Rap/Hip-Hop section. I couldn’t resist. Feel free to email me if you have any ideas that could make the game better! We are in the middle of changing the loader into something a little more user friendly and will be reduce the filesize of the engine (hopefully by 50k or more). Graphics are always being refined. Current version is Beta .32

Beta Hop

Added a beta level for the second set of 4 songs of which the genre will be Rap/Hip-Hop. The arrows are far from perfect but it should give you something to do while you are waiting. As always the each levels/songs Hi-Score is separate from the others. To get the song just click that little green navigation arrow on the bottom left side of the screen.. Have fun!

Chaos

Some of you may have noticed a little bit of chaos in the last 10 minutes or so. I have been updating files on the server. The good news is that we have a few new features and bug fixes in the new version online. You will notice that the combo graphics look new and are easier to read. You will also notice that you are judged on how well your timing is via “Perfect” “Good” “Average” graphics during the game.. Average used to be ‘Almost’ but since we count it as +5 points, we thought we would call it average. Fixed some issues with the arrows taking away from your meter during the fade at the end of the level. We are getting there.. 1 revision at a time.

Amazed

I am just amazed at how I cannot even place in the top 10 on any song anymore. I guess that is what I get when I play with the pro’s . I have been working in my spare time today to fix a few issues with FFR(The way it loads & fix the point issue at the end of a level). A new version will go up sometime tomorrow with some bugfixes and a few new graphics. We are also working on a downloadable version for those of you on 56k that do not want to wait. We just need to put in some version checking routines and need to make sure there are no score issues when executed remotely. I would expect a 3-4 meg download for the entire game with levels.
