Core mechanic
Tap only the dark piano tiles and keep the melody alive as the tempo rises. Tap only the dark piano tiles and keep the melody alive as the tempo rises. Use the opening run to learn the timing, then link safe actions into a repeatable route before chasing a higher score.
Controls and screen setup
Use taps and short drags on mobile; on desktop, the same actions work with the pointer and any keys shown by the game.
How a run ends
A late reaction or an unnecessarily long input quickly breaks the rhythm and leaves no room for the next obstacle.
Opening plan
Use the first attempt to learn speed, collision limits and the safest repeatable sequence before chasing bonuses.
Common mistake
Avoid watching the score or character alone; keep your eyes slightly ahead so the next hazard is already in view. Look ahead of the character; a consistent safe route beats one risky bonus.
