Some of the levels do not have check points and if the player or players cannot clear it in one go they to start from the beginning, although they are granted more life than the check point levels. The levels are based on reaching certain check points every so often, if all the players die they are sent back to the last check point. The players also have the ability to dash, the dash mechanic allows the player to not take damage from the pink projectiles, essentially the player is invincible during their short dash burst. The players can take a certain amount of hits before they lose and players can come in and save a teammate if they are about to die. The activation of certain projectiles is based on beats being hit in the music, hence the name. The movements of the pink projectiles are based on the music that is playing in the background. The game is playable with up to four players and consist of the four players on screen having to dodge the pink colored projectiles coming their way. The game works like a bullet hell, minus the ability to fire back. Load up Serum and we think you’ll be able to notice both what you hear (solid high frequencies, extending flat all the way up to the limits of hearing) as well as what you don’t hear (no unwanted mud or aliasing gibberish- just good, clean sound).Just Shapes and Beats is an upcoming game from indie developer Berzerk Studio. In Serum, the native-mode (default) playback of oscillators operates with an ultra high-precision resampling, yielding an astonishingly inaudible signal-to-noise (for instance, -150 dB on a sawtooth played at 1 Khz at 44100)! This requires a lot of calculations, so Serum’s oscillator playback has been aggressively optimized using SSE2 instructions to allow for this high-quality playback without taxing your CPU any more than the typical (decent quality) soft synth already does. Many popular wavetable synthesizers are astonishingly bad at suppressing artifacts - even on a high-quality setting some create artifacts as high as -36 dB to -60 dB (level difference between fundamental on artifacts) which is well audible, and furthermore often dampening the highest wanted audible frequencies in the process, to try and suppress this unwanted sound. Artifacts mean that you are (perhaps unknowingly) crowding your mix with unwanted tones / frequencies. Let me know if you want me to make either a video or streaming series of. Without considerable care and a whole lot of number crunching, this process will create audible artifacts. Just Shapes and Beats Demo version - YouTube Todays video is about the demo version of Just Shapes and Beats. Playback of wavetables requires digital resampling to play different frequencies.
