== The Unofficial Boogie Loops Manual ==
===Plot===


=== The Four Main Rows: ===
===Gameplay===
# '''Dancers''': Press A and then Up/Down to select a dancing character
# '''Choreography''': Press A to expand this section and then Press A and then Up/Down to change what dance moves the characters perform during that measure. The "grass" makes them sorta sway a bit, the "tissue" causes all of them to dab, a "salt shaker" makes them wiggle their butts - etc etc
# '''Melody & Bass''': Press A to expand this section and then select a note and Press A to place a FISH to play a low note (the fish is a bass, get it). Press A twice to place a BIRD to play a higher note for your melody. Press A a third time to clear the note. (Note: You can also change the scale of what notes you play on the piano, see the helpful tips below for more information.)
# '''Drums''': Similar to the piano roll but each row is a different drum sound. Up top is your kick drum, then snare, then hat, then shaker.


=== The Bottom Section ===
===Mechanics===
* '''Play / Pause button''': yep
* '''Turtle / Rabbit - Tempo''': Slow/speed up the tempo of your song
* '''Middle Button - Live FX''': Pulls up 3 D-PADS, press Up/Down/Left/Right to live-play different FX. Press B to change to a new D-PAD with different sounds.
* '''Clock/Martini - Swing''': Affects the "swing" of your song. The clock makes the drummer "play tight" and on time - whereas the martini "loosens" them up a bit and adds swing to your song.
* '''Robot face - File Manager''': Create a new song or duplicate, load, or delete an existing song


=== Helpful Tip 1 ===
===Tips===
When on The Four Main Rows, Hold B and press Left/Right to jump 4 beats left or right. This helps move around faster. Also you can Tap B to play from the start of whatever measure your cursor is in.


=== Helpful Tip 2 ===
===Trivia===
Select piano row, then Press Left all the way to highlight the piano. Press A then Up/Down to change the scale of the notes you play!
• Internally, this game is codenamed "beats-bleeps-boogie".


=== Helpful Tip 3 ===
===Developers<ref name="gamepage" />===
It seems like the shortest song you can have is 4 measures. If you add even a single note to the fifth measure, an additional 4 measures will be added to your song length, etc. Looks like max song length is 32 measures long

Imagine if a panda, a bunny, a cactus, and a pizza wandered out into the woods, looking for new friends to dance with. They’re overjoyed to find each other, and have big dreams and a broad range of booties to shake. But there’s a problem. They don’t yet have music to dance to, and they have no way to be seen by the world. That’s where you come in.
