For anyone who was curious to see Rio Music Manager Lite screenshots, the new Swing Sightings came out and RMML is on it:

I haven't looked at all the screenshots, but I hope there aren't any inappropriate song titles in them I was just noticing on the new Mac shot that the visible songs are a pretty damn random collection of music.

How did you get away with having actual band names in the screen shots

The RIAA is already on its way to Mike's residence to make sure he owns all the CD's.

(Did anyone else see that South Park episode with Metallica? Priceless.)

The level # just keeps increasing and the speed keeps increasing as a function of level # ... So there are infinite levels, though at some point, the resolution of movement will be such that it's impossible it actually hit the iPod I would guess It's left as an exercise for the reader to determine that level #.

I think that around level 20 or so, the iPod should begin to disintegrate just from hitting the walls so often..!

Note to others: You don't actually need a Karma to play this game --> just download RMML and run it. When it prompts for a Karma IP address, give it a bogus (but valid) IP to hunt, and then kill the window as it is searching. The main app will stay on the screen, and now all you have to do is figure out how to launch the game..

Cheers

... which was posted on riovolution.com, so you can probably search for "easter egg" on there.

easy game. just use the point of impact on one wall as your mark, move your karma to the right location, and fire when the ipod bounces off that wall. i wanted to play more, but i need to goto work. at this level, the ipod would bounce off 3 walls from the time i fired to the time of impact. what you need to do mike is to implement a random speed adjustment to make it harder.

and are you sure you havent been working with the marketing division? the karma sure doesnt look to scale when compared to the ipod. =)
