Yes!
You're not missing anything. Death mode is a piss poor attempt to draw out the game longer than it is. Its so poorly designed.
Yep, pretty much why I decided to buy this. That and the Giantbomb quicklook. Gonna break out my sennheiser 595's and my grado 325i's and see which I like better with it.
You definitely need good luck, but I used a strategy that might help:
1. Run passed two lasers every time, unless you are collecting a note in a transition area (top right of the left block or top left of the right block). If you are in a transition area try to quickly see where the next note is and decide if you need to move to the next block or not.
2. For the note on the top right of the right block it's fairly safe to jump straight to it if you're coming from the middle.
3. Sometimes it can be faster to jump to the bottom of the centre block and swing across underneath than go over top.
(and yes, I did actually name them transitions areas and talk to myself in my head as I was playing the level.. transition, run, run, run, transition, jump, transition... )

Okay, I'm trying not to be dirty minded or anything, but what are the red diamond things in Beck's 2nd level that shoots out all the "bullet-hell" stuff saying? It sounds like whenever it fires it says "touch a p----". I was like what?! lol. Ahh....I dunno what's wrong with me but that's what I'm hearing. And coming from a child's voice, it's even more wrong.
I love the turret things that say something like "wam bam thank you ma'am" lol.
Also, anybody notice some things it seems you have some control on how they work? Like the laser guys you can record your tapping on them and they'll fire their lasers based on the rhythm you tapped out. I haven't tried everything in the editor yet but damn it's gonna take a long time to really master using this stuff.

"Touch the people" it's the name of the level
LOL! Oh man, why did I hear an "s" at the end of it? -sigh- That makes much more sense.
Yeah, game really needs this option.
Patch please!

I thought the Superbrothers level in the QL looked really cool.
i just got to the first superbrothers "track" on their "album". Fucking great stuff. I have only played a little bit so far but i am loving this game. i am playing it on my vita with headphones and it is so damn relaxing. but then again it can be frustrating in parts. i suck at games so the last two tracks on the first album gave me fits in a couple sections (those fucking red things that chase you can blow me). but the music is so relaxing it seems you never get too upset. this may be the best downloadable game/vita game i have played all year (i haven't played journey yet mind you).

I'm on the vita creating a level and it is really janky, the level I mean. Frame rate is everywhere and it feels like each frame is having to load. Am I missing something. I don't think my level is any more intense than others in fact I know its not.

Finally platinumed this, Deadmau5' death levels were the only hard ones.
Beck's album was awesome, Rowdy Cloudy is incredible, Superbrothers was the weakest of the bunch despite all the style.

New one (again~)
I don't feel this is as good as my last one, Reach for the Stars, but I had the concept in my head and wanted to play around with it a little.

It was still not working normally this afternoon, only through the sign-out workaround, but the error I'm experiencing now is new.

Wow, thanks!
I'd love to try your level and more levels that others have created. It's too bad the servers are all messed up at the moment. :<
It's also too bad that all the interesting levels get buried under terrible renditions of Mario and Zelda themes. D: But I guess that's to be expected from user generated content. *hasn't really participated in level making until now*

Between this
and the "Can't connect to Sound Shapes servers" error messages, I have to wonder how much of this was known about and just ignored

Cool, thanks
Video of ShockingAlberto playing my levels.
Watching it I can see a few minor things I need to change (just tweaking some objects into place) but it's interesting seeing someone run through my levels like this.

wait, the servers are down? like if you just go into game -> community, sign in, it says unable to connect to server? are you able to contact psn?

what's this sign-out workaround?
to work around cloud sync errors on PS3, sign out of psn, quit the game, relaunch te game, the go right to cloud sync. it will sign you inti psn from game then sync.

All of yesterday I was having a tough time logging in. I was able to log in a couple of hours ago though.

My level has horrible slow down. There are frames I am not using that music is playing into but I can't get rid of because my walls and other things bleed over. Is there a way to trim those extra frames, or any other tips? Also there are some frames with no materials in them but I can't get rid of them.
My level has 11 playable frames.
edit:
Can I cut and paste onto a different area and that solve this?

I think if you are getting bad slowdown in the editor something may have gone wrong with your save, my level (link has tons of decals and a few screens with 6+ active objects and I never noticed any slowdown (on vita).
Have you tried
a. Quiting the game/restarting the vita completely?
b. Starting a new level and see if you still have slowdown?
Regarding trimming extra frames, it shouldn't be necessary, a few mostly empty frames aren't causing your problem. Also, notes that are collected will play for the next three screens, so in the level editor you hear the notes on every screen within three of the current screen. If you're making a level and want to get away from your old notes (like if you want to change the tune completely) I think you need to use one of the transport objects like a pipe or an elevator to teleport several screens away.
Hope that helps

Level pimping? Why not!

Dare you to get all notes! Very easy to get but some of it is hidden!

I don't know anything about this game at all, a friend just showed me a trailer like 15 minutes ago, and before the trailer ended, I was updating my PS3, and now I have bought the game! Downloading! I still don't really know what to expect, but I have a feeling I have made a good decision!
