This page sucks.
If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.
Specifically: Poorly written. An older revision of this page included a couple of recommendations to go to the game's unofficial wiki on Fandom for more info, with this and this seemingly being the specific pages the text was hinting at (but not linking to).

Important version cutoffs#

  • 510 - first version to compile to resource.car
  • 711 - lots of songs replaced
  • 987 - chart no longer in apk
  • 849 - 920 arcane protocol

Unused Songs and Images#

OverRapid switched to a server resource download mechanism after .obb expansion pack was discontinued by the Google Play store. During the initial download process, unused graphics and encrypted music are saved to the root directory. Those graphic ranges from assets in now unused scenes, to thumbnails of removed songs. One notable example of unused music includes B@kamin's Violin Knight, which was an internal test track, but for some reason is still in the server. Multiple unused background music, including arcane.ms and credits.ms, were also downloaded.

Unused Code#

OverRapid was developed using Solar2D (previously Corona SDK), which uses LUA. The scripts are compiled to LUAQ and packed into "assets/resource.car". Inside are multiple iterations of Scenes, including multiple tutorials, credit scene, info scene, and achievement popups.

Removed Songs#

Multiple songs were removed due to license expiration or musician requests.

Beta testing removals#

These tracks were removed before the public release: Bliss, Frozen Satellite, Kinetic, Nible, Traceability.

Removed Features#

Season Challenges#

The game hosted two seasons of challenges between 2018 and 2019. Lots of features were only available during the challenges and have since been removed.

Credit page#

A credit page was present in the older versions of the game. It contains information about the game's programmer, and crowdfunding supporters. The code, music, and assets exists in the downloaded assets, but there are no entry flags for the page.

Facebook login option#

This was removed from the OOBE (out of box experience), but the script that is handling the OAUTH is still pointing to the developer's server.
