* RockSTAR challenge is a game that is somewhat similar to Guitar hero and o2jam.

Player red gets to choose the game mode, then the song will begin to play.

As the song begins to play, the notes you are required to play in accompaniment will drop down. When a note drops and meets the white line at the bottom, which indicates your cue to play the note, press the corresponding arrow key to hit that note.

* Players can get perfect or normal hits depending on how accurate the music note was on the white line.

Players can chain up perfect hits combos, chaining them up gives you tremendous bonus score.

Perfect Hits Chains score = Current Combo x 5

Missing a music note breaks the perfect hits chain combo.

Normal hits add +1 to score, and will not break the perfect chains.

It gets a wee-bit laggy when a lot of notes come.
I played on Beginnger, and it definitely was not beginner.
I play StepMania too, so it'll be even harder for others.
You made it really hard to get perfects too;
I know I hit a couple notes that counted as "Normal".
Good job though nonetheless;
Fix those couple things and it should be grand!
 
Read me - some screenshots would be nice, a bit more detail in the description, and a little more formatting of the post. What if someone has never played Guitar Hero? From your description, they probably won't have any notion of what they are supposed to do.

And get it done sooner rather than later

EDIT: An example of the kind of formatting I'm talking about (doesn't have to be exactly like this, it's just a guideline), and keep text colouring to a minimum, especially with faint colours (it's very difficult to read some colours since they blend in with the default forum style background)

aug!!! the up and down key are confusing so usually I press the wrong one. you should make the camera angled so people can see the the music notes coming. the music is played for no reason since the music notes seem to come at random. finally, pro is impossible, I was constantly pushing down all keys and still some got past.
the idea is good but the game is just too hard.
 
It is an interesting concept. If you could make the notes come in perfect beat with the song, it would be a lot easier. Also, you need to make it easier to get "Perfect" because it's not that easy, even at beginner level. :)
 
nice concept well done
 
Gj getting the song file so compressed. Anyway, Get rid of collision for the wisps. Sometimes they run into each other and its quite annoying.
 
Was it only me that didn't hear any song? My sound settings might've been wrong. Anyways, it was quite easy since you dont get less points for playing a note when there's no wisp close. Therefore I could just spam all the buttons and make it easily.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
