sounds great

I'd be happy to test

Lets test!

Had a few goes, I like the game, and the graphics are very nice. A couple of things I noticed:

The first time I played the song, for the first 20 seconds or so it kept lagging (pausing sound / game for a few milliseconds) it wasn't unplayable, but certainly wasn't smooth. It hasn't done that again since the first time, not sure if its a problem or just a random thing on my phone that time?

The notes are held down, despite me letting go of the button. I'm not sure whether its intentional, but on guitar hero you obviously have to keep the note pressed until the end of the line

I don't think its a bug but, I think it might be better to decrease the sensitivity of registering a note. There were some points, even on the medium setting, that I found it impossible to get the notes. I have the official guitar hero on android, and that's much more responsive.

Despite getting decent scores, I never gained more than half a star ranking at the end

Hope that helps, the graphics are really nice and smooth in-game, and I like the way the menu looks and works.

Good job

I will look into it, but unfortunately Android is laggy by (current) design - GC running in background process imact my foreground process too much. But I'm thinking of grabbing (almost) all free memory, so Android will close other applications

Yes, this is intentional, but I do not remember now, why I did it I'll try to change it and see how it is playable.

I'm thinking of 'collapsing' (gluing) notes, which you practically will not be able to pick.

Thank you!

New (beta) version is out! See first message.
I've been finishing polishing and optimizing visuals, no big changes in gameplay for now.
But I promise there will be at least two beta versions before the end of 31, so stay tuned.

New version (0.7 still beta) is available!

It is still not competely finished and polished, but it mostly works.

This version includes new picking rules - you now can hold key through long notes to get more scores. Also you now can adjust game rules (picking and min notes distance) in advanced settings (Settings -> MENU button).

Also, number of bugs and crashes have been fixed.

Please test! It is last public version before ADC submission!

Release version is available! See first message.

Version 1.0.4 is available. This version fixes several bad bugs, so I encourage you to get it.
Changelog is here: http://code.google.com/p/tapsoffire/wiki/Changelog

From now on I will be doing some refactoring & playability changes.

Great game!!
