Okay. To start with I'm running a celeron 400 and looking at the FAQ section (one or two of the questions are "how can I make it go faster?" or similar) I see that other people have problems with speed like I do.

What I propose is that there be four, rather than three quality settings. quality 4, 3 and 2 are the standard flash graphics settings. Quality 1 (or my-pc-is-a-pocket-calculator mode) would turn off a few things. Firstly, it would only allow static backgrounds (8-Bit Eighties or Stay With Me (unlikely)). It would also turn off all transparencies, such as the arrows when they hit the break point or the average/perfect/great popup.

I'm sure there are a lot of other modifications that someone with more flash knowledge than me could make to speed up the game, but these should make almost all the songs on the site playable on my 400, and probably allow a lot of people with slow computers to play the game.


I agree with others about some kind of creator program so people can make tracks that they can upload easily, I don't know if flash is capable of accessing the hard disk, but if so being able to load your own custom files would be great.


Also, some kind of feature to help you learn the tracks. Like in some I can do the whole track except for one or two moves that I keep messing up. Some kind of practice mode that let you freeze the track or rewind it to a certain point. Perhaps even a 'view' mode that lets you see a zoomed out map of the arrow track without music or movement.

I realise it must take a hell of a lot of work to make something like this, probably even more to implement all the features people ask for. Thanks for making such a great game, I'm really looking forward to remix #2.
