Do you ever experience the following when playing Stepmania on a dance pad:
1. Some of the levels are too easy and the rest are too difficult
2. You want to get a cardio workout, but you get mentally tired before you get physically tired
3. You or your family members have trouble keeping your balance while playing Stepmania
4. You don’t like holds, rolls, or mines, you just want to dance to the beat
5. You want to play Stepmania on any song without needing to know the tune or words beforehand
Announcing Stepper, a program that lets you customize Stepmania steps to according to your specifications:
1. Set all 5 Stepmania difficulty levels to a range that you can actually play, no matter if you are a beginner or an expert
2. All steps are on the beat or the half-beat regardless of the tune of the song
3. Reduce technical complexity while increasing physical difficulty
4. Control the proportions of:
a. Beats with step vs beats with no step
b. Single-foot steps vs jump steps
c. On-beat only vs on-beat+half-beat
d. Triples vs quintuples for half-beat steps
5. No holds, rolls, or mines
6. Try the “force alternate foot” option that creates alternating steps between the left and right foot, and never lose your balance again
If you like your stepfiles to be artistic and in tune with the song, this program is not for you. But if you want to play Stepmania and get your heart rate up without getting frustrated by complicated step patterns, this is the program for you! Optimize each song group folder for different members of the family so that everyone can enjoy playing Stepmania at their own level.
