Jeremy was not totally happy with the way the combo system worked, so it got changed for the greater good. It was a simple change which rewards better players for hitting more perfect notes. This new system has a name and it’s called “Trance Mode”.
For some reason he seems to think he is the best player in the team. Little does he know I had a perfect run on “Swing Me” on easy? Don’t judge me because it is the first song and I played it on easy, as we all know we all got to start somewhere right?
Keep on Tweaking

The songs are getting the final look over, which is being done by our new friend the manatee the sea-cow. He or She (we are unsure of its gender) sits at the back of the office guarding the cakes. The Manatee seems to think the note placement were off in certain places, so this is being looked at as we speak.
wOOt crazy, while we sleep Manatee is hard at work……. What an animal.

The Announcer Says…..

In all the best games there is a random voice (the announcer) saying things to make you feel special, so we did just that. Not only does the announcer let you know how well you are doing by screaming random words such as; “You’re too cool” or “Amazing!”, but he also puts you down when the going gets tuff, just to add insult to injury.
Here are a few words you may hear when playing Perplex Beats, call him our local cheerleader.
- You’re too cool.
- Amazing.
- It doesn’t look good.
- Outstanding.
- Keep it up.
- You got it.
We cannot tell you them all; otherwise we will spoil the surprise.
