Yeah...you can already do that. It's called revenge mode. 50-note streak gives a logo and allows you to shake the ipod/iphone into 8x mode.

This honestly sounds like a troll to me.

A comment on the problem "Revenge Mode not enabled when 50th note is a shake" in Tapulous:

Yeah apparently there were two things going on. The 50th note was a shake and then when I was trying to activate it the next note was a shake too. The above posters are indeed correct; it is properly ENABLED but there's just no notification. However I say that the fact that you can only activate it when the next note is a tap is a bug. Although I'm not sure if there really is a way to make it work well here. – lc, on September 17, 2008 16:21

let's call this an easter egg :)

Sorry; if the 50th note is a tap it will tell you that revenge mode is available. If the 50th note is a shake it will not tell you but it will still work.

Hmm...ok, so sometimes yes and sometimes no. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll put your ideas down for discussion.

Revenge mode works but it doesn't tell you that revenge mode is possible.

"- Can you guys make the stars in the background when your playing move a little bit. "
- Only if you like more lag in your gameplay. And I'm sure no expert players want that, seeing as it lags already.

"- Instead of having that annoying red menu option at the top, can you please make it the same color as everything else and place it under "Two Player?" Then can you please just call it "Announcements" and if there is something unread can you put a red star by it to get people's attention. "
- Why? It doesn't move the menu down anymore, so what's the problem? Not to mention that you know its updated when the text changes, having a red star doesn't inform you whether you've already seen an update or not.

"- Instead of having "Challenge a Friend..." and "Next Song" buttons when you finish a song, can you make them "Return to home" and "Replay song?" "
- Definitely agree with this one, although, you might as well keep the "Challenge a Friend" there, just in case some people use it.

"- A new pause screen that doesn't look like an iPhone alert. It could have "Resume", "Replay Song", and "Exit Song" buttons. "
- Seeing as you have to pause the game yourself, I don't know why you would think it was an iPhone alert. Although a "Replay Song" or "Restart" would be a nice addition.

Yeah, it pops up same as normals.

ed replied on September 12, 2008 18:30 to the problem "Revenge Mode not enabled when 50th note is a shake" in Tapulous:

So, the shake-note overrides the revenge mode trigger until the next note is a Tap. Does the Revenge Mode arrow appear when that 50th notes is a shake for you?

Nightmare replied on September 12, 2008 14:05 to the problem "Revenge Mode not enabled when 50th note is a shake" in Tapulous:

Actually, this is incorrect. Any time after you hit the 50-note streak, you can shake and enter revenge mode, provided that the next note is not a shake. When the next note is a shake, you just have to wait until you get back to the normals taps.

Good joke but I want to use the best client, not only a very good client. Can we go back to my question, please ?!

Go back to twinkle.

It's good to know it is limited (mostly) to that one section. Thanks again!

Nightmare replied on September 06, 2008 20:24 to the problem "Some songs are horribly off the correct beat." in Tapulous:

UPDATE:
Okay, so I played through everything in expert, and it seems like any time there's an extended amount of 8th notes or greater (called a run or stream in other rhythm games), the graphics begin to lag behind the audio.
This means that EVERY expert song displays lag at some point in the song. Some it happens a lot more than others.

I've noticed this in Reckless in hard, and it could be happening on ONS as well, but because the runs there are on one note (called jackhammers in a few rhythm games), its honestly hard to tell if they're lining up or not.

Not sure why this is happening, I know that Sony PSPs run stepmania with more intense graphics than this without any visual lag, and I would think it's specs would be lower than that of an Ipod Touch or iPhone.

Ok, thats a good sign. Thanks for the feedback. :)

Nightmare replied on September 06, 2008 19:29 to the problem "Some songs are horribly off the correct beat." in Tapulous:

I have never noticed the lag in any other difficulties. I'm not really sure why this is, but it definitely sticks out in Sololuna. I don't play expert all that much, maybe someone who does could be able to point out some other songs.

I'll play through expert for a while and see what comes up, then post back.

Thanks for the ideas, and the how-to Jp ;) - it seems like this feature is the most requested. I'll forward along your input.

ed replied on September 06, 2008 18:32 to the problem "Some songs are horribly off the correct beat." in Tapulous:

Thanks Nightmare for the clarification. In your experience, is it just those expert tracks? Have you noticed the problem in other difficulties?
