Chord Crush glitches

As you can see from the Rush leaderboards, I’ve been having just a little too much fun on Chord Crush! (I’m coming for you @Ryan !) It’s a great app, thoughtfully and logically designed, and the visuals are very stylish. Hats off to the team who worked on it.

There are just a few intermittent glitches I’ve been experiencing in Rush. Every so often (perhaps 1% or 2% of the time) one of the following will happen, particularly when I’m moving rapidly through the early levels:

  • The key will be changed without warning - the key change melody sometimes doesn’t automatically play.
  • The first couple of notes of the key change melody are sometimes cut off.
  • The level’s chord audio sometimes won’t automatically play. I have to manually press “Play”, wasting precious seconds.
  • When a new level is first displayed (while it is still being loaded/rendered), I will sometimes hear a wrong chord momentarily before the correct chord sequence starts to play. Often, this will occur in the early C major levels, and it will be a B flat major chord or F sharp major chord.
  • On two occasions I’ve seen a chord sequence with blank (silent) measures at the end. For example, there will be 6 measures, the first four have audio but the last two are silent. Chord Crush still expects me to nominate a chord for these blank measures, which is an impossible task.

There is also a glitch in Google Chrome when played on a laptop with a touch screen:

  • If using the touch screen to make a large left-to-right motion (e.g. move chord I to the final measure), this will sometimes activate Chrome’s built-in “go back” gesture, taking me back to the previous page and losing my Rush game progress. This is a particular problem if you “miss” and you release your finger just before (or after) the chord is over the measure. This doesn’t happen on Firefox, which has no such gesture.
