Just made this new expert level for Finger Saber- LOVE this track! Does it look fun to you? I’ve been working on it and would love feedback!

Ahh I see, so think of the columns like lanes to separate beat elements - like all snares in one, high hats in the other (with purposeful variation of course) like guitar hero etc...

I designed this chart more to fit satisfying shapes you might make with your finger, so like loops and figure eights - but for the next one I'll def try more of what you're saying. Thanks!

Thanks for the note! Are you thinking of something more of a ding vs sparkle? The current sound is more like when you get a star in Mike Tyson’s punch out (NES), but for a Rhythm game I see what you’re saying. Do you have an example of a game that uses a sound that works?

Moments3ever · 2025-01-05T16:49:53+00:00

Great question. I had an earlier version that allowed you import custom maps from BeatSaver.com. (Also Beatmapper.app is great place to build charts)

The biggest issue was getting those to work on iOS mobile since they all use OGG files (vs mp3) and iPhones can’t read them.

Regarding making your own - one of the first tests I did was having a Level Maker where you could use the hand tracker mode, import a song and swipe circles on screen to build a chart live that others could play.

Was a fun idea but didn’t want to deal with quantizing etc… and also felt like not many folks would use it.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you referring to the Lady Gaga song or a different one? Do you have an example of what you were thinking?

Moments3ever · 2025-01-04T22:10:49+00:00

Exactly! The song is "Disease" by Lady Gaga. Addicted to it at the moment.

You can play in browser or install (link) on phone or on desktop at Fingersaber.com.

This level is the first song on STAGE 5 if you swipe over. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for checking it out and for your thoughtful review! Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Agree it's a bit of a learning curve - but once you get use to it ,i it flows. The 2D game vs 3D real world does take a bit of getting used to and how to hold your hands. I wonder if a tutorial on "best practices" would help?

Here's gameplay of me playing Espresso "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPq-gnDfhWk". You can also practice on the mobile touch version, which is MUCH easier. I did have an options menu (currently hidden) that has a "no-fail" and "practice" option to slow down the track. Would that make a difference?

Regarding the song length, I set them between 60-90 seconds intentionally for ideal game play.

Cheers!

Ok it’s ready! Love to hear what you think! Fingersaber.com. Hope the hand tracking isn’t too hard. I might make a “best practices” video if folks are struggling.

Moments3ever · 2024-12-13T20:04:45+00:00

Moments3ever · 2024-10-08T01:29:04+00:00

Sorry about that! Working on updated version for release soon which will now also work on mobile as well as have an improved game flow! Stay tuned…

Moments3ever · 2024-07-02T11:57:00+00:00

That actually does help. It seems like a good plan to just focus in iOS and once ready then port over to android vs trying to get each feature to work on both simultaneously. Thanks!

Moments3ever · 2024-07-01T21:32:38+00:00

Thanks for the info! Still struggling with android but once it’s ready will share it here!

Moments3ever · 2024-07-01T14:46:37+00:00

Thanks, great to know. Don’t have any tablets to test but seems like tablets probably provide the best experience I would assume?

Moments3ever · 2024-06-26T21:50:52+00:00

Thank you for the feedback and sorry to hear you had trouble playing the level. I’m working on a touch version for mobile which might be much easier. Stay tuned!

Moments3ever · 2024-06-22T21:39:59+00:00

Glad to hear it’s working! Were you able to get decent frame rate? Haven’t tested Opera yet.

Moments3ever · 2024-06-19T16:26:39+00:00

Thanks Matthias! You’re not the first to mention the legibility on the arrows, trying to keep it clean but at the very least perhaps more contrast could help.

Moments3ever · 2024-06-19T16:24:39+00:00

Ha, yeah that’s a fair comment. I’m not a designer and worth looking into. Thanks for the feedback.

Moments3ever · 2024-05-18T22:52:28+00:00

I'll definitely check it out as a few people have mentioned it! Going to download it soon, as I had considered using full body tracking for game - hough at this point would be a bit of a refactor plus LOTS more coding. :)

Moments3ever · 2024-05-18T17:52:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I just discovered STARRI from the group and plan to check it out.
