This was a fantastic game - it was very well done and I really have no complaints at all.
I have a few suggestions to consider for the next version though:
Map the little DJ's arm movements to the x/y of the mouse so that in addition to the tables the character will seem more in time with the music as well. - Would be cool.
A nice little feature might be to cause a 'skip' if you miss a bar - Depending on how you're playing the sound - if you're using script, you could grab the .position and then use that value plus or minus a random bit on a .start combined with a scratch sound to cause this effect. Maybe... I know this could cause problems with the timing (again - depending on how you've set it up) but hey - they're just suggestions right? :)
Consider adding a virtual crowd - complete with cheers for completing a particularly difficult section or boos if you do horribly.

Very unique gameplay - Quite different from most others.
Once you get the hang of the controls it's really a very fun game. You did a great job on this.
I could definitely see someone like PopCap picking this up.
Again - excellent job.

Wow - that preloader was the bomb! Where did you ever find such an amazingly cool thing? It was awesome!
Oh yeah - the animation was there too... :)

I hear that Slash prefers fapping to the swell chap who made that preloader more than he does Berryz Koubou.

This rocked. the only way it could be better is if it were wrapped in bacon!
I really like what you did at the end there - so many people always try so hard but they forget that sometimes the most effective way is to just let the musical ideas flow.
I gotta go talk to A-Bot cuz' I want to see this on the front page.
Keep this up!

Nice job on this - laid back, chilled out and catchy. I see a few peeps have mentioned vox - they may be right - vocals could take this track from a damn fine piece of bg music to a radio hit. Then again if the vocal suck they could sink it.
Something to be said for simplicity I guess. This is really easy to listen to.
Do this again, then again, and fame will be yours!

you are so true in what you say in that last few lines. Simplicity does work, but its not through just being simple i came about this. It works well as you've noticed and well yea it's darn catchy, alas i change my style constantly so i doubt its gonna happen again, though i do have high hopes for the compete version of chapter two when it's complete, a wip is now up on site. Sorry about the delay in replying, working ruins me and any free time is generally spent drunk. take it easy and thank you for the kind words.

Great job - nice bit of chill. Left one point for improvement though - Not sure what helpful advice I could give right now but a little more variation on the drums after about the first minute couldn't hurt. Just a bit though - I don't think you need to go overboard with anything crazy... maybe just change up every fourth bar a bit more. At this point, the following suggestion is almost cliché but perhaps a few triplet stutters here and there might be cool. Overused? yeah probably - but I still think they're cool just the same.
Two other things you may want to try - the bass from about 1:40 to the end is great as is but a slow morph from 1:40 to 3:10 could give it more of a sense of evolution - same with the synth that we hear from 2:40 through the end - try morphing the cut and/or res a bit and see what happens.
Play with the drone that starts in at 1:47 - a little gate action could add some interest - or perhaps one better - run this bitch through a sequenced gated multiband compressor or some other such rythmic choppity toy.
Aside from that, the only other thing that I can think of that would make this better would be to rename the track "LJCoffee is my hero" :D
Thanks for making my life a little more interesting with your music!

long time ler...
thanks for the listen and advice.
the new version is coming along nicely, added muchos variation to the drums and some other subtle messes in the first half.
haven't touched the second half yet but i was thinking along the lines you mentioned to give it a little more movement also am gonna try and builp it up and open this section into something epic, have to see how it goes.
