Nice effort, certainly very original project!
Unfortunately, in this condition, it’s quite useless after few tries.

1.Right now, you can’t use .detuned as a music visualizer. Even the DEMO mode stops when the default songs ends. It would be great if it’s possible to play our own music and .detuned automatically plays various effects, depending on the rhythm (even “Beats” can do it).
2.Many of the visual effects are quite similar and some of them even uninteresting. We like ACTION, MOVEMENT! Also, it would be better, if they were arranged in two groups – directional buttons refer to character’s head and X,O,V,SQ buttons to character’s movement. This would unlock many combinations to experiment with.
3.Add some fixed cameras, so we can watch at the character at different perspectives. SELECT button should help.
4.Let the music play during the PAUSE menu.
5.Add YouTube and SAVE VIDEO features.
6.Don’t erase modes’ names after each game.
7.In the HELP menu, one of the “e”-s has to be capital letter.
8.Finally, the best thing you could do is to add PSEye compatibility, so the users could snap their faces and stick them to the character’s head.

Greetings and good luck!

So just as a note to the developers:

Pros
-Love .detuned; it’s totally insane. I’ve had guys come in my dorm room JUST to watch this, especially now that I’ve gotten really good at picking music and syncing with it.

-Great price.

Cons
-Lacks the YouTube feature, which would be perfect since this thing totally lends itself to letting people choreograph a .detuned performance to a song then upload to YouTube.

-Needs an automated performance function. Sometimes I’d like to just load up an album and watch .detuned do crazy stuff with it.

Overall, though, it’s totally awesome and creative and outclasses any music visualizer I’ve ever seen. I’d love some DLC and updates, so stuff like more dance moves and animal heads and stages and chairs and all of that kind of stuff would be awesome, and getting some updates to fix the stuff mentioned in my “Cons” would be awesome.

Seriously, I can see this game becoming HUGE in the YouTube community. I’d watch people choreograph appropriate songs to .detuned all day. I’d even participate–I’ve got some songs that go VERY well with it.

Hope to see you guys creating more stuff soon!

You can do as you please. I don’t think Sony cares too much. In the end you already spent your money on a ps3, and you will have keep getting more games if you want to get the most of your investment, unless you are planning to use your $300-600 equipment just to listen to music or watch a couple of blu-rays…

Save your money, this game is some sorta scam… Sounds cool, actually lame. If PSN keeps up this quality, I’m gonna go buy a 360.

Dear Sony,
I bought .detuned and I have to say I really like it. But it suffers from the most counter-intuitive faults that only Sony seems to be capable of producing or hosting. How is it that it has no option to play your own music while watching the animation play by itself? You realize this literally destroys the piece of art that is .detuned? I refuse to believe that it would have been even slightly difficult to implement that feature, yet somehow it’s missing (this is about as bad as Aquatopia’s requirement that your controller be on to actually watch the screensaver!) Please Please Please prepare an update to fix this massive oversight. I just know people are going to feel ripped off after they realize it lacks that feature. Thanks, and (for both our sakes) I hope you do something about it.

Is there You Tube output in this games? (seems like a no brainer for the type of game it is)

ok, dropped the $3 on it last night as soon as I got off of work, had a LOT of fun with it with a couple of friends, but I have one question… I was led to believe that it could be used as a visualizer which would automatically react to the user’s uploaded music without having to manually manipulate the program via the controller… HOW??? The “demo” just plays its own music, and when music is uploaded from the HDD, it reverts back to manual-input! Any help, please?
