THE CUE

A key appears on the picture — ▲ ▼ ◄ ► A B. Press it before the bar beneath it empties.

That bar is your reaction time. The faster you press, the more points.

Press the opposite way — ◄ for ►, ▼ for ▲, B for A — and you get a buzz and can still make it. Any other wrong key and the scene cuts away.

MISSING

Miss, and the scene cuts away to trouble. Hit the inputs there to get back on track.

You have three hearts. Fail the way back and you lose one.

Clear every cue in a cabinet's fails and recoveries without losing one, and you take a +100 bonus at the end.

DIFFICULTY

Learn 1.3s to react · Med 0.8s · Hard 0.4s

Audio 0.4s and no key is drawn — each one has its own tone, and you play by ear. The menus use the same six tones, so the shelf is where you learn them.

CONTROLS

Menu: A goes forward, B goes back — logo, trailer, difficulty, shelf.

Shelf: ◄ ► move · A select · B difficulty

Anywhere: PAUSE pauses · B backs out
