ATEI09 - my first experience with Jubeat
Posted in Other Music Games by S'Tsung on February 22nd, 2009 At ATEI, I had the chance to try out Jubeat for the first time myself. I have to say I started to like the game since the first song and I thought that Jubeat won’t be appealing to me at all.
The first song I played was Sandstorm on Advanced - thus level 8 - and I nearly cleared it. Second song was Captain Jack on Advanced which I cleared. Then I tried some other songs like Polaris Adv, Happy Happy Adv and Take on me Adv. On the last song I managed to get almost a full combo. I missed few notes at the end. But still I was rewarded with a score around 810k. I was like WTF? Something is wrong. I realized then that the game is actually a music game and that I should really press the buttons with the music.
I decided to try out the tutorial for the first time. I managed not to hit the skip button and tried it…I found out that I have to actually WAIT till the panel becomes fully lit with the word TOUCH all over it. After realizing this I went to try the song once again and it was a yellow/gold bliss. If you get a high combo or you are doing good and getting perfects you will be rewarded by a really awesome animations that are golden kind of. It felt good^_^.
After this I tried the rest of the song on Advanced and tried a few on Extreme. I enjoyed the game and would play it again, but probably am not that big fun of it that I would actually pay a lot for it.
What concerns my technique…I used my fingers at first, later with more difficult songs I even started using my palms and other parts of my hands. And it worked…it just felt like playing Pop’n Music - on 4×4 grid though^_^. I just needed to realize that I have to wait a bit till I can hit the panels.
