I think having some extra tutorials for the games that haven't been in Megamix before (i.e. Rockers, mostly) would be very helpful. The best I can glean from it is it involves holding whatevers set as the A button for the length of the riff, using what's set as the L button for bends, but it's very inconsistent. I might also recommend using some sort of calibration to account for HD resolution and wireless controllers. That kind of thing is EXTREMELY necessary in any sort of rhythm PC game. I also suffered from a lot of slowdown in the somen game, for some reason.
I really appreciate the effort put into making this, and as soon as I saw someone play it I knew I had to download it myself. I hope my critique is constructive, and I hope that this program improves!
I've never played a rhythm heaven game before and really feel as though there should be some sort of disclaimer that this is for experienced players. most of the songs are very difficult, and without tutorials i don't even know how to play most of the games featured. This combined with the lightning quick transitions made this very difficult to understand or get into.
Honestly, the tutorials should be showing you which controls to use. The entirety of the class minigame doesn't work with the usual mouse controls, you have to do a weird flick, and that one doesn't even consistently work. It's nice to see that you are working on Xbox controller support, but until that's out, I'm not touching this again.
not having xbox controller compatibility is seriously so stupid. i can hardly play with a keyboard or mouse, and i don't want to go through the hassle of buying a bluetooth adapter for just one game.
or you could try a program like DS4 Windows, its intended purpose is the reverse, emulate PlayStation controller inputs on an Xbox one, but it can do the reverse too.
I might just be spoiled, but I think this game could really use a native level browser and a way to adjust universal song offset (especially for those of us with really slow displays lol) Very polished otherwise!
Wait, I just downloaded the Linux release and I can't seem to start the game? I launched it, got to the title screen, then tried pressing every key on my keyboard to start the game, even though I'm prompted to press any key.
Cool game! I do think however if you could maybe add a refresher for some minigames that would be nice for new players or players who haven't played in a while. There are a lot of minigames and sometimes control schemes get forgotten, and so if you're playing a minigame where you have to do something you don't remember how to do, you're kind of screwed.
It would be very helpful for newer people like me who haven't played all of the games. I've only played the one on DS (and only a bit) so a lot of the minigames I have no idea how to play. Sometimes I know how to play but the controls aren't clear. I know how to play Fan Club, but literally have no idea what button is jump on the controller so I mess it up every time!
ive seen like a bunch of other people have this problem but like. controllers ont work with this game. not in the “oh theyre laggy” sense but like you CANNOT connect a controller to the game even with the auto search. only shows keyboard and mouse
apparently theres no support yet. sucks, becuase thje keyboard controls are kinda dookie + the mouse dragging mechanical is annoying to all hell. wish there was a way to make it so a click registers rather than a keypress
only complaint I have is no tutorial for all types of.. things. if that makes sense. (for people like me who cant and haven't played the original series) and also the offset beat for 'classroom'. I literally cant figure that one out lol.
ive sunken like 30+ hours just making one remix and im having SO much fun with it. everyone elses creations are so cool and it feels so good to finally play custom remixes!
i have two things to request about the editor!!
1. make the area to extend stretchable cells bigger, ive found it a bit annoying looking for that small spot to grab it
2. give the camera a start and end position option please!! theres some bits where i want the camera to pan up then continue panning up from the bottom of the mini game for a clean transition. however, i cant do that without a small cell in place to snap the camera into that specified spot. that gives it a weird pause for a split second though.
other than that, i hope yall continue to work hard with this!!
Linux Mint, right? We're having problems with that specific type of Linux right now due to it lacking controller drivers (which also happens to lock up All controls in the game, even keyboard). All I can say is we'll probably have it fixed by the next version, I hope?
I've tried every controller I own (PS4, PS5, Wii U Pro, Switch Pro, and 8bitdo Pro2), and the only one that got even the _slightest_ response was the 8bitdo in Dualshock mode, which registers about one button press every five seconds. Nothing else has this problem, so I have to assume something's wrong here
Howdy! I'm trying to run the Mac version on 10.14.4 and the finder window doesn't appear when pressing play on the main menu and in the editor. Is there an alternative way to open files?
Bruh the only reason theat i coudn't get superb in trick on the class was because of the latency ik someone already said it but a universal offset calibration system would be a HUUUUUUUGE improvement. (Also is it just me or any other people's RH app crashing when they complete an in-game remix?)
Rhythm heaven fundamentally does not work with calibration. the visual and audio feedback of all minigames would essentially require turning back time if we wanted to implement offset unlike other games where the input can be easily changed or set late. We do eventually plan on implementing a custom audio engine a-la Bits & Bops to reduce latency to almost nothing, though.
this is very fun and very impressive, but there NEEDS to be sync correction during a stage. one lagspike in the middle of a stage and the timing is permanently off.
i've also noticed there are no "You" indicators, which would help refresh the player's memory of what they're doing.
(global audio offset calibration would also be huge, but an unfortunate logistical nightmare for a game with reactive audio like this)
click the download button for the file "HeavenStudioWin64.zip". You will need to extract the file contents of the zip folder once downloaded, but all you need to do is right click the zip folder and click extract all, then select the destination folder (it defaults to the location of the zip folder, usually downloads) and click extract. In the new folder, find the Heaven Studio executable file (usually marked as .exe) and run the file.
In everywhere but the taskbar (desktop, file explorer, etc), you must double click the file for it to run. (you could also right click it and press Runin the menu of options)

I'm sorry but I will say it, the original minigames are UNPLAYABLE, you don't even understand what you have to d
trying to play rockers on a controller is pain, otherwise 10/10 i can't wait for the next update
the fact i never played magamix isn't helping
but 10/10
sweet! I've never played rythem heaven, and now I REALLY want to play it!

Too technical.
how do you use rockers on keyboard 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Got to hold down whatever you set "A" to, then let go when you need to play, kinda like negative edge if you're familiar with that.

what did you expect?

I was thinking the same thing. I was messing with the class minigame for a WHILE, pressed every button and nothing was working.
not having xbox controller compatibility is seriously so stupid. i can hardly play with a keyboard or mouse, and i don't want to go through the hassle of buying a bluetooth adapter for just one game.
Yes pleeeease prioritize this
As a temporary solution you can use Steam to remap the controller inputs to keyboard and mouse inputs.
or you could try a program like DS4 Windows, its intended purpose is the reverse, emulate PlayStation controller inputs on an Xbox one, but it can do the reverse too.
a true rhythm heaven fan would be connecting his nintendo switch pro controller™
i would need a bluetooth adapter for that. are you incapable of reading?
i know damn well you have a cable and don't act like you don't have enough usb ports
Is there a way to shorten the time it takes for a toss coin coin to fall? sorry if I'm just missing something I am a newbie to this program.
add a BPM change?
I made a remix!
I might just be spoiled, but I think this game could really use a native level browser and a way to adjust universal song offset (especially for those of us with really slow displays lol)
Very polished otherwise!
is it possible for you to add skips and to extend the practice modes?
Wait, I just downloaded the Linux release and I can't seem to start the game? I launched it, got to the title screen, then tried pressing every key on my keyboard to start the game, even though I'm prompted to press any key.
Is this a bug?
This is mentioned in another comment as a possible Linux Mint issue, I'm also facing this issue on Ubuntu
Same issue here on Pop_OS!
At least until it gets fixed running the windows version with proton seems to work just fine. Haven't seen any issues with Proton8GE-28
Same issue, too! No matter what key I press, nothing happens on the Linux version (Ubuntu with XFCE desktop environment).
Try running it through terminal using the "--no-sandbox" argument!
computer/location:>./executable.here --no-sandbox
Like so!
No luck. Tried it on Pop_OS (latest version)

Agreed
Rockers is especially difficult to understand in my case since I loved that one on the DS but can't seem to get the control structure for that one
Omg Rockers is IMPOSSIBLE. I have no idea how it works in Heaven Studio.
doo-wop doo-wop doo-wop PAH PAH
grr i cant play heaven studio grrive seen like a bunch of other people have this problem but like. controllers ont work with this game. not in the “oh theyre laggy” sense but like you CANNOT connect a controller to the game even with the auto search. only shows keyboard and mouse
apparently theres no support yet. sucks, becuase thje keyboard controls are kinda dookie + the mouse dragging mechanical is annoying to all hell. wish there was a way to make it so a click registers rather than a keypress
WHERE THE FUCK IS FILLBOTS😭
outside for not having fillbots this is a good ass program
YEAH THIS NEEDS FILLBOTS
smh we already got too much
BUT WE NEED MORE
My antivirus will not let this thing install, and I have tried almost everything :')
install it through the itch.io app version, then it should work.
I'm very frustrated with the bugs in this game.
This game is really fun, but there are a lot of bugs that make it difficult to play smoothly.
The screen goes black, only the sound plays,
I couldn't do anything and ended up having to restart... Please fix the bug!
only complaint I have is no tutorial for all types of.. things. if that makes sense. (for people like me who cant and haven't played the original series) and also the offset beat for 'classroom'. I literally cant figure that one out lol.
seeing this program release after being on the discord server for 2 years is so satisfying
ive sunken like 30+ hours just making one remix and im having SO much fun with it. everyone elses creations are so cool and it feels so good to finally play custom remixes!
i have two things to request about the editor!!

other than that, i hope yall continue to work hard with this!!
oh i also ran into a big in flipper flopper!
it displays the miss animation for flipper rolling even though i hit it correctly.
please report bugs in the official discord server, you're more likely going to get an answer there
Help the Linux doesn't let me go into the game I am stuck on the first screen
Linux Mint, right? We're having problems with that specific type of Linux right now due to it lacking controller drivers (which also happens to lock up All controls in the game, even keyboard). All I can say is we'll probably have it fixed by the next version, I hope?
meh I suppose good luck on your game!
I've tried every controller I own (PS4, PS5, Wii U Pro, Switch Pro, and 8bitdo Pro2), and the only one that got even the _slightest_ response was the 8bitdo in Dualshock mode, which registers about one button press every five seconds. Nothing else has this problem, so I have to assume something's wrong here
my balls hurt
I tried to connect my controller to the game; only the keyboard and mouse popped up. If there's a solution please reply!! It looks awesome so far :3
plug in your controller and press auto search and press a button and it should wor
its not working for me either. i even added the game to my steam library and it didn't work.
finally i can play custom remixes! there really needs to be a single custom remix database but just having this in my hands feels great!
Howdy! I'm trying to run the Mac version on 10.14.4 and the finder window doesn't appear when pressing play on the main menu and in the editor. Is there an alternative way to open files?
Are you on the newest version? This should have been fixed as of version 1.0.1. Join our discord for more help!
Hello, I'm new here. Can't access any of the versions at the moment. Are there plans for the app to run on Chrome OS?
Thank you
(sorry for text mistakes. i used translator, because im bad in english)
have you tried toggling the stay spawned checkbox in the first cue
no, thanks!
Is there any way to make custom minigames? I want to make games to put in remixes…
Bruh the only reason theat i coudn't get superb in trick on the class was because of the latency ik someone already said it but a universal offset calibration system would be a HUUUUUUUGE improvement. (Also is it just me or any other people's RH app crashing when they complete an in-game remix?)

We do eventually plan on implementing a custom audio engine a-la Bits & Bops to reduce latency to almost nothing, though.
yeah because i'm stupid can you add a "rhythm heaven fever" button mode that adds like 40 or so ms of input delay?
this is very fun and very impressive, but there NEEDS to be sync correction during a stage. one lagspike in the middle of a stage and the timing is permanently off.
i've also noticed there are no "You" indicators, which would help refresh the player's memory of what they're doing.

How do I delete items without spamming the undo button? Trust me, not being able to figure it out already makes me feel stupid.
i don't know if this is the proper way of doing this? but pressing the delete button on your keyboard works lol :)
A MONTH LATE BUT THIS WORKED THANK YOU
When is Update 2 coming out?
bro it released almost 10 days ago calm down
How do you download this on windows?
click the download button for the file "HeavenStudioWin64.zip". You will need to extract the file contents of the zip folder once downloaded, but all you need to do is right click the zip folder and click extract all, then select the destination folder (it defaults to the location of the zip folder, usually downloads) and click extract. In the new folder, find the Heaven Studio executable file (usually marked as .exe) and run the file.
But when i click on the application it is not opening up
In everywhere but the taskbar (desktop, file explorer, etc), you must double click the file for it to run. (you could also right click it and press Run in the menu of options)
