Rhyme Storm

This game is easy to play but hard to master. Me and my buddy (theskinnymenace) always have a blast playing. It also activates the rhyme center in my brain and i found myself crafting my own raps in my head just for fun. The prompts and subject matter are always hilarious.

Bought this back in 2020, off a recommendation by the dev in some Facebook group we shared. There's a fun idea in here and some genuine passion put into the detail of the specific topics you can get into. Indeed, it's actually kinda fun to get into a flow and feel like you're doing a good job, but the rest of it leaves little staying power. Coupled with a chronic lack of updates (last was three years ago), there's no reason for you to pick this up. In the off chance you find it, unless you're a big fan of hip-hop and want to practice freestyling, stay away. If the dev had sold this for £10 or less, it probably would have done numbers. Alas.

Ok, so I am not the target for this type of game. At least I don't think I am. I got this for a friend and he is much better and more interested in this genre of game than I am but it is fun to interact and cheer him on with my other friends as he plays. Sure, I'd give it a go and did kinda ok and that's that. Then I got thinking, why shouldn't I play this game? Sure it's not in my comfort zone but it IS fun...? What is this game really about? Great question. From the description, it seems pretty straight forward. But you get into it and oh boy something so simple can be so complex at the same time. Hard to describe but there's a lot going on with game. The basic premise is that you rap (spoken word and hell even singing to lesser extent) to either auto-generated or totally freestyle lyrics depending on game mode. I play the auto-generated stuff. You can choose from a game difficulty, beat-line (tons of styles and rhythms), some game-play changes for scoring, and the content of the lyrics you are going to be dropping. Have you ever wanted to rap about Keanu Reeves, shooting hoops on a pirate ship, or maybe Cowboys VS. Aliens rap battle? Well now you can. I'm only scratching the s…

I love this game and I love playing on stream, but there are still some heavy bugs that need to be worked out. Most of all, due to the bugs (and just for fun) I want there to be a "no fail" option like in Rock band. This would make the game more playable and fun. There is an issue where the entire game screen just mysteriously disappears. I've tried both windowed and full screen, this does not fix the problem. I'm confident nothing was clicked to cause this. The music will still play, but you can't the lyrics while this is happening. Even if you've kept up a free flow, when the screen returns the game will instantly fail you. This is not fun. There's also an issue with the timing of when you're supposed to be speaking the words. Sometimes the game wants you to say them early, other times it wants later, and it seems to depend on the track. I'm okay with that variance but it's no fun when you've finally hit your flow and the game fails you and ends the track. I'd prefer just to have a much lower score but get to continue the track for the enjoyment of myself and the audience. It would also be nice to have a vocal timing calibration like Twitch Sings and Rock Band did, bu…

This was a lot of fun, incredibly stupid but fun. https://youtu.be/lTkQDQnISxI
