Scratchin' Melodii (Christmas SAGE Demo) - All S Ranks

it's almost as if the game wants you to be disobedient in this update lol
Scratchin' Melodii is a rhythm game by ‪@LJ-LephemStar‬ inspired by PaRappa the Rapper. This demo features new scoring mechanics, two more songs, and reworks of the old rival battles. The demo was supposed to be released for SAGE 2023, but it was delayed due to personal reasons.
One thing to note about this demo is that it is now impossible to attain 3D mode legitimately due to it being a buggy mess. The files for it still exist and it can only be achieved through hacking or cheating (video linked below). butter me up

Did you ever think about making freestyle tutorials for Parappa and Maybe Scratchin' Melodii? Your way of freestyling in Parappa and Scratchin' Melodii is unlike anything Else i've ever seen.

I love how melodii just commits graffiti in the first song RIGHT after being told not to BY THE FBI. Edit: Guys the neighbor wanted them to PAINT the fence, it was only after they did that he ended up being fine with the graffiti.

i like how in this rhythm game you can follow the note they tell you to do or just say " FRICK IT , IMA DO MY OWN STUFF WITH THESE NOTE YOU GAVE ME" and get a better rank then if you followed the note also at 2:38 it feels like melodii has released her inner demon

[@Chastikan]

They should penalize for wrong notes at least 😢

[@ashyunderscore]

@@Chastikan They do, the thing with freestyling afaik is you only use notes you already use in the line, so technically it's just switching up places and adding and not outright "wrong" verses.

grease poppin' sounds just as good as it ever did, but im really glad they redid melodii's vocals because they didn't sound like themself in the old one. cant wait for this game! also rensa's song is a complete bop!! love her!

I realised that's what the dragon boy said: "if you can't keep up with the notes, find your own grooves and it way works out" or something along the lines
