Something that could be improved.
« on: January 17, 2008, 11:36:27 pm »
It's extremely hard to get the bonus for not hitting any gray blocks when playing as ninja mono on a really fast/intense song, because whenever you chain a bunch of blocks and they float off the board... they float INTO the traffic and you can't see where you're going thus hitting a gray block in the process. It's not challenging, it's extremely frustrating. I think that if you made the blocks maybe fade out from the position they're in on the board instead of flying forward blocking your view it would be so much better.

That's just my opinion though, I don't know if you guys intended for it to be that way but it's so annoying. D:

The blocks flying up never seems to bother me, but I can understand what you mean. What do other people think of this?

I can't say I was ever in a situation where the blocks going up were covering up blocks with enough immediacy that I hit a gray block, and if there was such a time, then the immediacy which the blocks popped up was what made it hard, not the blocks disappearing.

Yeah, that happened to me a couple of times, but that is just one of those things which make the game a bit more difficult. But it also adds to the replayability. If you want to get the top highscore play the song several times, learn it and by listenign to the music try to anticipate what comes next.

One way how this could be fixed is by making the up going blocks more transparent.

I hope this helps.

Outlined looked better than faded out. This should do it:

That's awesome! Or like whirlwind said, maybe give the blocks being cleared a 50% transparency when they float into traffic?

Yeah thats a lot better. It was especially horrible when you got like half the board cleared in the middle of a really intense song.
