Controls
The stick's four directions are the four arrows, or use buttons 1 to 4 if you would rather press than push. No countdown — the music starts the round.
| What you press | What it does |
|---|---|
| Stick | the four arrows |
| Button 1 — the big button | up |
| Button 2 | right |
| Button 3 | down |
| Button 4 | left |
How a round goes
Forty-five seconds at 120 beats a minute. Arrows fall towards the line, and everyone gets the same arrows on the same beats. Press the matching direction as the arrow reaches the line: within a tenth of a second is PERFECT, a bit wider is GOOD, and wrong or late is a MISS.
A stray press with no arrow near the line is a miss too, so pressing to fill time breaks your run.
Scoring and winning
PERFECT scores two, GOOD scores one. Every eight in a row raises your multiplier — ×2, then ×3 — and a miss resets it. Highest score wins; ties share. Alone, your score goes to the leaderboard.
Tips
- The multiplier is the score: sixteen clean in a row is worth more than a burst of perfects with a miss in the middle.
- This one flashes, and it gets loud. Reduced-flashing mode dampens or withholds it.
