1. Aim
Your goal is to play along with the music: hit every note on the beat, keep the streak alive and chase a high score.
2. Input
Glowing rings appear anywhere on the board, each with a larger ring shrinking onto it. Tap or click a ring just as the two circles meet. On a keyboard, press Space to hit the ring that is closest to its beat.
3. Judgement
A hit close to the centre of the beat is a Perfect and scores 10 points. A slightly early or late hit is Good and scores 5. Both are multiplied by your storm multiplier. A missed note scores nothing and ends the streak.
| Hit | Value |
|---|---|
| Perfect | 10 |
| Good | 5 |
| Miss | 0 |
4. Streaks
Chain ten hits to raise the multiplier by one, up to ×4, and bring a bolt of lightning. Miss a note, or let go of a hold early, and it resets.
5. The round
There are no lives: you play the whole track, about a minute long, and the timer counts down the seconds left. Sound matters here: the beat is your metronome, and the Music button adds a melody layer on top of it.
6. Sign-up and bonus
When the track ends, the result screen shows your score and best. Registration is optional: sign up and you start every round with 500 bonus points and your scores go on the leaderboard. Closing the sign-up window lets you play as a guest.
7. Conduct
Bots, auto-clickers, scripts and code changes are not allowed (see the terms). Points and bonuses are virtual and carry no cash value or prizes.
