Game Features

• A wide variety of musical genres and difficulty levels
  • The game includes over 500 songs across many genres created by Japanese and Taiwanese artists.
  • Difficulty options range from [Easy] and [Normal] to [Chaos], so players of all skill levels can enjoy the experience.
• Controls
  • During performance, a “borderline” moves up and down the screen in sync with music’s rhythm, while notes emerge from the back of the screen.
  • Players earn points by tapping the screen exactly when a note lines up with the moving borderline.
  • The timing and pattern of the notes follow the song’s melody and beat, so gameplay feels like playing a musical instrument—successful play depends on tapping accurately in time with the music.
