7/3/2024: This submission has been cancelled in favour of a recently discovered “Boost” mode.
It’s finally finished. Ladies, gentlemen and everyone inbetween, may I present to you my biggest behemoth of a TAS yet - Hyperbeatz.
About the Game:
“Hyperbeatz” is a 2021 homebrew rhythm game for the NES. It was developed and published by Anthony Blackman (aka Mystical Wheelbarrow). There are 16 songs to choose from with 3 difficulties each, for a total of 48 levels.
About the TAS:
This TAS aims for Maximum Score, which means getting the highest possible score in each level.
Gameplay/Tech:
- The scoring system works like this:
- Nice - 100 points
- Good - 50 points
- Poor - 20 points
- Miss - 0 points
- If you perform poorly enough, you will be kicked out of the level with an F.
- The hardest grade is “Star”. This means playing absolutely perfectly, which is the objective of this TAS.
- In most cases, you have a 3 frame window for a “Nice”, and around an 11 frame window to get any points at all per note.
