We have a major update for everyone! We’ve been listening to all your feedback as we try to make this the ultimate VR synthwave experience.
A major request was simply that the game was too short! So we added Easy, Normal, Hard, and Expert levels to all the songs to create a game that was easy to learn but hard to master. We also added 5 new songs from top Synthwave artists:
- Scandroid - Neo-Tokyo (Dance With The Dead Remix)
- Sunset Neon - Tonight
- Powercyan - Space Rock (PYLOT remix)
- Robert Parker - End Of The Night (Feat. Doubleboy)
- Dance the Dead - From Hell
We heard that we needed to refine our game mechanics to add new challenges and improve playability. We’re releasing:
- Different colors for Right and Left handed notes
- An Energy Level system allowing a user to fail a level after missing too many notes
- A new scoring system based on Speed and Precision
- A new settings panel with audio, graphics, calibration and gameplay options
And we know that people loved the visuals and the ambience so we decided to double down. We implemented:
- New environmental music for loading and menus
- Two brand new Cyberpunk stages
- Stunning new visuals across the whole game
- Performance improvements so the great visuals can be seen on most machines
Finally, we’re excited to announce a Beatmap Editor! This will allow players to map notes to their own songs and play. While we’re not releasing it as part of this update, you can check out a first look in the video section.
