I know you people haven't seen me around much, I still exist! I just haven't been on the actual game much.
I found this while mobile and added it to my phone and got it to pull from the osu!droid folder for music (thanks for that, omg) I have a few things I noticed and a few suggestions! /o/
First thing, I'm playing this on a Sony Xperia Play (aka Playstation Phone)
Issues:
> When playing with the drum, I feel like there are "dead spots" when it comes to pressing the keys, particularly around the top of the drum itself, and the lower part of the rim. Not sure why...
> When playing any song, if I hit the notes faster than 1/4 there's lag in the presses. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just wont do anything. It's really difficult to explain, but... I also noticed that if you use only one side, you have a better chance at it reading than if you "roll" from side to side like you really should be doing.
> It crashes. Frequently. (You probably are well aware of this though)
> When I started playing, I could tell it was off. I went to offset and it was default 70. I set it back to 0, and it worked perfectly fine (I used auto to listen to it to make sure it sounded right just in case). I have no idea why default was 70. Is it just how it is, or did it "guess" that from my phone?
> I feel calibration is off in the game menus. I have to hit all over the place just to hit the >Return button, and it takes me about 5~10 presses to enter a song...
Suggestions:
> Setting songs to alphabetic order rather than download order.
> Adding a search function (I have a ton of songs and its a lot to go through)
> I love love love the blue theme, but I think the results screen could use a little more color, or at least shading to make it stand out a bit more.
> A switch to hide songs that don't have "taiko only" modes (I realize this would hide taikosu too, but im not sure how to "add" taikosu to the list of "taiko only")
> Support for custom skins (I love TnT but I love the custom skins more)
> In game menu activated by the "menu" button like osu!droid has, basically it lets you pause, retry, continue playing, or exit back to the menu.
> Slightly bigger bars for the song listing. I'll admit my phone's screen is pretty big, but the bars still show up as small and my thumb is bigger than the bars...
For the future:
> Maybe add support for the physical keys on Xperia Play (making the key settings match Taiko PS A/B/C). If I could handle the code for this, I'd do it myself...
> Custom hitsounds+special drum. Kinda like in the TnT games where you could earn special drums (and in Youkai Daikessen they were similar to weapons in RPGs) but instead you could just choose between the drums. I miss my frying-pan drum! ;o;/
> Mods: like double time, hard rock, hidden, flashlight, etc
Ok I'ma cut this off here so I can go sleep. If I think of anything else, I'll add it in later! /o/
PS: If I had more time, I'd offer to test it, but idk if I have the time to right now with work/life/holidays/bleh

I don't have an Android but good luck with making this awesome.
