Wtf is that i hear you asking....

Rhythm Tengoku's quirky visual style and gameplay bears similarities to the WarioWare series. Each level is a minigame which requires the player to perform certain actions in sync with the rhythm to create a beat to go along with the background music. For instance, in one level, a beat is created by hitting numerous baseballs as they pass across the screen. If the player is unable to match the correct timing, they receive a "half hit" or "miss" rating. These misses are counted and used to determine a pass-or-fail score. Many of the other minigames involve similar activities that require the player to rely on the rhythm of the background music for timing. The highest total score attainable in the game is 140 points. In order to receive this score, the player must complete every single minigame in one try without missing the timing by 1/60th of a second.

What bit you up to? I'm having a few probs getting the hang of the Easter Island heads one at the mo'

[{{909}}]

did that on my first go , im on the boss stage of level 4 and its a bit tough, theres a game where you have to fire eggs into this guys mouth that I keep doing wrong becasue its so bloody fast. Not very good at a DJ one on this level too.

[Bensons]

Done it now.

[Bensons]

Bloody hell, that eggs into the mouth bloke is hard! The green ones go on the off beat (I think) Not liking him at all. I've flown through the stages after those Easter Island heads- I found them really hard, still do in fact, only got past them by the skin of my teeth- reckon if I'd had one more pird poo I'd of fluffed it.

*EDIT*
Sorry for the double post!

-=EDIT 2=-
Can you give us a clue on the DJ one please 909? Can't work out what to do. It seems that a tap is a scratch and a flick is a rewind thing?

[{{909}}]

presume you have got past it now but the DJ one just needs you to stop (by holding the stylus on the screen) and then release for the scratcho the record at the right time, its hard to get it right, the screen flashes when you do though.

[Bensons]

Yeah, haven't played this for a week or so, got pissed off with the ghost rock band bit- can't remember if I got passed it, it drove me crazy though!!!

[{{909}}]

heh, did that on my first go too.

I'm on one where you haev to switch between black and white before tapping the screen, cant work out how to do it.

[Bensons]

Hate you...
