Rhythm
Tap D, F, J, K as the notes hit the line — chain a perfect combo.
How to play Rhythm
Notes stream down four lanes toward the bright hit line at the bottom. Press D, F, J or K — one key per lane, left to right — the instant a note reaches the line (on a touchscreen, tap the lane instead). Nail it dead-on for a Perfect, catch it a hair early or late for a Good, and let it slip past for a Miss that breaks your combo. The hit line pulses on every beat, so you can feel the timing even with the sound off. Longer combos raise your score multiplier — pick Easy, Medium or Hard for a 120, 140 or 160 BPM track.

Rhythm — frequently asked questions
Which keys do I press?
Each lane maps to one key, left to right: D, F, J, K. Press the matching key when a note in that lane crosses the hit line. On mobile, just tap the lane the note is in.
Can I play without sound?
Yes — the game is designed for it. The hit line flashes brightly on every beat and a four-count indicator ticks along the top, so you can lock onto the tempo purely by sight.
How is my score calculated?
A Perfect hit is worth more than a Good, and every hit is multiplied by your current combo tier — the multiplier climbs one step for each 10-hit combo, up to 8×. Missing a note resets your combo, so accuracy and consistency beat frantic tapping.
Are the songs the same every time?
Each difficulty has its own fixed, authored pattern that plays identically every time, so you can learn it and improve your score run after run. Higher difficulties are faster and denser.
