Soundboxing

Holy moly. This was great. I don't want to say it is better than Audioshield, it is just a little bit different. First the bad: I encountered a bug where some videos would slow down, and the sound was distorted. You could also see the timer went slower, so.. memory leak perhaps? Other videos worked great. [b]Audioshield vs Soundboxing:[/b] If you like Audioshield, you will enjoy this game as well. In the latest update, Audioshield discontinued Soundcloud support and implemented Youtube instead. Audioshield also has an automatic beat detection feature for unplayed songs, where Soundboxing is manual. The good thing about Soundboxing, is that you can create a completely new "beat map" if you don't like the existing one. [b]Intensity intensifies:[/b] Audioshield has a nice feature where you can choose difficulty, and you can also find mods online to replace the existing difficulty settings. In Soundboxing you need to kind of figure out the difficulty level yourself. If you see a song that is 3:20 minutes, but it has 600+ beats / punches, then you know it will be intense. So that gives you an idea of how difficult the song is. If no one has played that song before, then (some will say unfortunately) you need to make your own beat map. You need to stand and punch at the beats however you see fit. [b]Missing[/b] In the future, I would like to see the following: [list] [*] Favorites [*] Genre selection [*] Region based high scores [/list]

[h1]Soundboxing is not just a game, its a workout![/h1] Playing Soundboxing will get very exhausting especially for your arms and it will definetly make you very sweaty! The fact that you wear an HMD while getting physically active obviously makes that even worse. After longer play sessions (30+ min) you might want to take off the HMD because it's getting a bit uncomfortable. The name already says what makes it so special compared to other VR music games. [b]The harder you punch the orbs with the motion controllers, the more points you will get![/b] You can search for [b]any song on youtube[/b] and create your own challenge for it or try to beat challenges that other players have created. The good thing about that is that [b]you can make an accurate beat syncronization that really let's you feel your music how you like it[/b] while other automatic algorithms from games like Audiosurf, Audioshield and many more might fail to capture that feeling. If there is no challenge for a song you need to create your own because Soundboxing has no automatic algorithm. Each challenge has its own high score board. You will get an ingame message when someone beat your highscore. You can add challenges to your favourites and also you can create your own playlists now. While playing you can see a big screen where the music video is playing and you can select between a variety of beautiful background enviroments which creates a great atmosphere! The haptic feedback of the controllers also does a great job and supports the feeling of getting into the beat quite well. Sometimes I had some issues with the ingame pointer and a few crashes but apart from that there's nothing to complain about. Soundboxing is a great workout game with a high replay value and its absolutely worth the price of 7,99€!

There should be many of these on VR, This game is perfect for me to burn thr extra Kcals after a gym session, its a good challange, the idea is simple. Link you tube to them game, watch videos and throw punches but it works really well. what id love to see to make me push my self more a Lcal burner that tells you how much you burned off and keeps a log of it on your profile , that would be awsome. the game is worth the money

いいと思う。だから褒めたい。なのに手放しでは褒められない。そんなもどかしさに悩まされる外部依存型のVR音ゲー。 どこかの誰かがYouTubeを見ながら踊った動きをそのまま記録して譜面として扱うという挑戦的な仕様で、画面奥から迫ってくる二色の玉を赤なら右手で黄色は左手で殴るだけのシンプルルール。 既存の譜面を遊ぶときはお手本ロボが一緒に踊ってくれるのだが、仮面ライダーの曲で変身ポーズを取っていたり、間奏の間もずっと両手を左右にフリフリしていたり、バンザーイの動きのあとダランと脱力したり、ノーツと無関係の部分に人間臭さが滲み出ていて面白い。 変身ポーズのようなネタを仕込んであるものがきちんと評価され、触発されて他の人も面白い譜面を作るという正の循環がきちんと機能すれば、なんせ自分の知っている好きな曲で踊れるのだからBeat Saberの牙城に手が届き得るVR音ゲーだと思うのだが、現状そこに至ってはいないし、制作スタジオは多分もうこのゲームに手をかける気がない。 またゲームとして面白さを担保する仕組みがなく、曲の検索などで目につくUIの貧弱さも如何ともし難い。特に2バイト文字が使えないのは痛恨。日本からでは再生できない動画や消された動画なんかも当然あり、将来的に買ってもまともに遊べる曲がないなんてこともあり得る危うさを持っている。 ただ、いい譜面の付いた好きな曲がいっこ見つかるだけですげぇ楽しい。喉枯れるわ。俺も歌う必要ないのに。

Let me start by saying that I'm having a lot of fun with this game. It feels great to punch synched up orbs while force and the combo multiplier matter for the score. Getting updates on who played your beat maps and who pushed you from the first place is motivating, as well as having a website tracking the leaderboards and available songs. The ability to record your own beat maps is actually quite challenging, since you want to have a lot of diversity and not only punch orbs at the same height in a different rythm. You can also search for popular songs, either sorted by times played or maked as favourites. But of course the game isn't perfect. - No ability to rate the difficulty of a beat map - Cannot fix a mistake you made when recording a beat map - Not all beat maps are created equal, it depends a lot on who created it Even with those missing features the game is quite fun and recording can be really exhasting if you try and be creative. I have high hopes for this game, not only is it a great foundation to build upon but the developer interacts and listens to the community. A side note for fellow germans: Since YouTube is used, a lot of modern music is blocked by GEMA. What I would like to see adjusted: - The ability to restart from a certain point in my recording and stop with the click of a button - A grid like view to see more songs at once - Hide the constantly visible menu with the menu button. - Make the plane you have to hit when recording more visible, since its quite easy to loose track of it

After playing just 2 songs, I would already recommend this game. However, I would recommend you check out the points below before you decide to get this game. I would like to compare this game with Audioshield as they are both quite similar. Pro: - Gameplay wise, this game is superior compare Audioshield. The punching/boxing on the notes simple gives more kick compare to Audioshield. - Has better UI looking compare to Audioshield. - Has the ability to create your own notes into the music. Personal Preference: (some people may like this, some may not) - More workout compare to Audioshield. Just playing 2 songs and I am sweating like crazy. Con: It doesn't auto generate notes like how Audioshield did. You can either create the notes yourself, or play a song where other people had already created the notes. This means that some song that you like you may not be able to play it or it simply sucks because the person who created it doesn't know how to properly create it. That being said, some of the popular songs are really fun to play, cheers for whoever created them. Overall/TLDR: Audioshield is still a superior product compare to this due to the fact that you can simply play any song you like from YouTube. However the gameplay in soundbox is more fun compare to audioshield. If you can only get one, get Audioshield, but I highly recommend both.

A must own if you have a VR headset and like Rhythm Games. The problem a lot of rhythm games have is the lack of songs to play due to the difficulty of using an editor; Or if they're running off of a stream turning tracks into music visualizer type gameplay, leading to inaccurate notecharts that feel more like you're playing a vauge guess of a song's flow and not actually playing a song. This has the middle ground between the two. The songs are streamable from youtube, but they have a surprising amount of notecharts to playthrough that are manually made by the community that 8 out of 10 times are very accurate and very, very fun to play. The UI is very crisp, with support for playlists players have made or just sorting through a player's profile of tracks they created so that if you find a song you loved playing with a track that suits your musical tastes, all you have to do is look to the left and go through the simfile creator's profile to see everything else they've created and you'll often have a plethora of cool stuff to play that's likely right up your alley. It reminds me of youtube before they deleted the all activity tab, it's like a self branching economy of content relevant to your interests and I love it. The only thing outright clunky about the UI is the scrolling which only shows 3 tracks at a time per row, everything else is top tier. I also think it's freaking adorable some of the poses people record at the end of their song charts since the dancing robots are what I assume to be recordings of players dancing. I've seen everything from players doing goofy poses to cheering to dabbing. It gets a chuckle out of me often. I was able to find charts for everything from mainstream trash to video game OSTs to obscure vocaloid songs (While it doesn't have EVERYTHING, there is a SURPRISING amount of tracks that are made), all with entertaining charts that make you actually pull off real dance moves without thinking about it most of the time. If there is one thing this game is, it's a WORKOUT. After 3 tracks I have to take a break because my arms feel like jello, but I have so much fun playing that when my arms work again I just feel like playing more songs. This is as entertaining to me as any arcade rhythm game with official grade simcharts and I'm happy I got it. On a side note, the fact that there are two pinned threads containing "Harder difficulty maps" and even a "Workout chart suggestion" containing a lot of DDR stuff and etc. shows me that whoever made this game actually knows why people love playing rhythm games.

This is it! This is the GAME for VR! if you like music if you like to do something useful while listening to music if you like to workout without going to a gym if you don't mind sweating a lot if you simply want to have lots of fun ...then Soundboxing is four you Warning: one can spend countless hours without realizing it. No matter how many expensive VR games I already own, I always come back to this fantastic game.

I love the cute motivational robots dancing in the background while I box.

i really like this game, the variety, and the custom beat maps are great, but for the love of god make pausing easier, why it can't be a single button press is beyond me, i hate fafing around trying to get the cursor on the pause button
