### 5/5 — Super jeu de taïko

*2020-06-14*

Rare jeu de taïko amusant et très addictif ... seulement devient difficile à partir du niveau 3 !
Il manquerait toutefois quelques petites animations japonaises sympas lors des bonus (en référence à Taïko no tatsujin) et surtout un menu paramètres permettant de régler la différence de volume entre les musiques (vraiment très bien choisies) et le son des taïko qui est du coup un peu étouffé.
Vivement une petite MAJ des concepteurs.

**Developer response:** oh merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire C'est très important pour nous car cela nous donne de l'énergie pour savoir que quelqu'un apprécie ce travail. C'est un jeu que nous avons fait 2 amis, et malheureusement aujourd'hui nous n'avons pas de budget pour faire des améliorations, mais nous allons essayer de faire un effort pour l'améliorer.

Merci beaucoup.

### 5/5 — Great Update

*2018-08-28*

This is an important update made, solving sync problems! Is more to come

### 3/5 — Sync method problems

*2017-09-13*

It looks to me like the method you're using to sync the circles with the music is frame-based (Lag causes sync drift).

 In order to avoid rewriting the data on the circle timing, I would convert the ms offset from the start of the song to a frame number at the ideal frame-rate to determine the locations of the circles.

Or you could just convert the raw data to milliseconds.

**Developer response:** Hello. We corrected this bug in our new update. Thanks for your feedback.

### 2/5 — Almost had me :/

*2017-05-09*

This was going great until the second song on level 2 (be patient or something). The songs just before that I got over 100 perfects without looking at the circles and just listening for the beat. I can't even do it for that level because the music isn't synced to the timing. I even tried hitting perfectly when the circle was over the marker and it still said I was wrong. I've been playing rhythm games for years so this stuff is second nature to me. Please fix the sync and i'll gladly redownload and even put out money towards the game. This has a lot of potential.

**Developer response:** Hello. This problem was corrected in the update already released. Thanks for your feedback.

### 1/5 — nope

*2017-03-10*

Out of sync, out of rhythm. Doesn't work.

**Developer response:** Hello, this bug was corrected in the new update of the game, already released.
Thanks for your feedback.

### 2/5 — Music out of sync

*2016-09-01*

I tested several songs because 50% of the time I would get perfects and the other 50% for the same song I would miss almost every note. Half of the time the song starts before the LISTEN message goes away and before the guy hits the drum so the song just sounds completely out of sync. I can restart the song multiple times until it starts at the same time with the drummer but I can't recommend a game that can't sync music properly for a rhythm game.

**Developer response:** Hi, this bug was corrected in the new update of the game, already released. Thanks for your feedback.
