Anyone know what the requirements are for Big Kahuna? It says "Score 17,000 points within a single match," and I've done that many times... but it hasn't activated.
Dylan answered this on one of the forums. It's 17,000 in a single clear of the board. He suggested a 21 clear with a multiplier.

With a single match, i.e. one set of blocks vanishing.

Snowstorm is a pretty easy achievement to get if you focus on it for one song and ignore scoring.

Edit: mega beaten.

Yes, squarepusher is great shit.
Playing Port Rhombus was the moment this game became worth ten times what i paid.




But now i can't click the fucking play button for some reason. Was this touched on in the thread somewhere? Fullscreen or windowed, i can click Credits and Exit but not Play... ugh
 
hopefully they fix the servers, have not been able to create an account yet.

Having a lot more fun now on jinja pro, anyone else think the jump is worthless though? it's too slow and would help a lot more if it was fast enough to help you out as a last minute-oh shit-moment, but you have to pretty much plan the jump ahead of time, making it worthless imo

Check your email.

Is anyone else having some trouble with leader boards? My name and score, nor anyone else's, are showing up.
Servers are down for much needed upgrades.


Just nailed Snowstorm, incidentally.

It means with a single cluster, I did it by saving a red paint to use it after filling all 21 slots.
Yep. I did that in the middle of a really long song and just filled up the entire grid before using it.
 
Daft Punk's Around the World/Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger Live 2007 track is godly on this. Try it with Mono in either of the top 2 difficulties. Amazing.
 
Anyone have suggestions for the best control scheme to use? Where can I find the instructions for controls?

Also what is that bar underneath the resolution bar? Is it volume?

you mean this?
 
So do you need a special 360 controller to get it to work on PC? I find mouse to be the best control but I would still like to try the 360 controller.
 
Now, I haven't tried it with anything BUT a mouse but wouldn't a controller be slower/less precise? (please guys, don't start anything) Still, I'd imagine it would be a lot better for my wrist *tear*.
 
"Now, I haven't tried it with anything BUT a mouse but wouldn't a controller be slower/less precise? (please guys, don't start anything) Still, I'd imagine it would be a lot better for my wrist *tear*."


The way the controller works is that it's "anchored" to the center lane. That is, if you don't move the stick it stays in the center, if you move it right, it switches over the right lane and vice versa and when you let go it centers itself again. It works quite well. However, moving your thumb around is slower than flicking your wrist, depending on your sensitivity settings.

Ah I see, well ok it sounds like it'd work ok at least.
 
The control scheme is overcomplicated with the ship that can hold the blocks, it should use just un button/key to hold and release them. In such a fast game every second counts.

Yeah, I don't see the point of using both buttons either
 
I use the mono pro or ninja and I like using the S and D keys for going to the left and right lanes, it defaults at the center. It can get confusing in very complication areas, but you should stick to one control scheme and get comfortable with it. The comma and period are the left and right click respectively.
 
So how does one do the snowstorm achievement ? I also just had a full 21 grid got the red paint and only got 8k for it :(. That was on easy mode , guess i need to do it on mid / hard ?
 
Steamchievements steamchieved thus far:

Royal Ride
Stealth Adept
Stealth Master
PPM 10,000
Laser Show
Big Kahuna
Spotlight Finish

Stainless and Snowstorm sound pretty easy. Haven't really tried for them or anything yet, though. I almost had Stealth Legend but fucked it up with one grey block. As for PPM 30,000 ... that's going to take some work, I think.

This damn game will never let me login when I go to play it. Annoying me.
The servers have been going up and down ever since the game was released. I assume it'll be stabilized over time.
 
Ninja Pro is the best way to play this. Its damned awesome when there is a pause in the track, and it starts going up the incline, only to spaz out when things kick back in place.
 
finally logged in, but i dont' see myname on a leaderboard of a song i just beat. weird. I see some other people on them though and the popular songs idea is a good one, but only saw like 1 other person on any of them, they should tell you beforehand how many people have played it and a better interface for leaderboards wouldn't hurt.

still fun game though!

I was on Eraser Elite (as usual) and ran across a track (E.G.G.M.A.N. Doc Robeatnix Mix) that had a ton of white blocks for some reason. Pile 'em up until you've got seven or more that'll all go at once, then clear/erase whatever cars you have holding them up.

Big Kahuna, as far as I'm aware, requires that you have a multiplier active to hit a number that high.
 
I have been trying to do snowstorm via pointman pro, collecting a bunch of white blocks and praying a switch powerup (wtf are they called?) comes along and clears them all for me. I didnt even think of eraser, never tried it. Will give that a shot, thanks.

Edit: Got snowstorm with eraser mode. Big kahuna and 30k ppm to go :/
 
Quick question about iTunes DRM.

If I burn an album to a CD will it unlock the songs on my computer or will I have to burn it to a disc then import it back onto my HDD?
 
burn it to a disc and you can just play it off the disc if you want. you can also rip it to your computer and play it as an mp3. but no, it wont just unlock the songs off your itunes

Burn them to a disk and insert that in your cd drive OR import them back to your HDD.

DRM sucks don't it?

"Then the game must be successful beyond their expectations."


Obviously. The question is how far?
Steamworks should tell them that.
Hell, their server data should tell them that.
 
Ah big kahuna hates me! :lol . I either get a multi and no red, or a red and no multi, curses.

I would love to see these guys release the sales figures with steamworks after the first month, would be a good indication as to how many people buy games off steam, considering its only a $10 game.

If I were to import them back onto my HDD would it replace the iTunes files or would I have doubles?
