Both red and blue create different sounds, so you'd know if you missed a beat or hit the wrong one.

You canchoose from a range of difficulty options from easy to extreme, and the gamedecides if you pass or fail, depending on your performance.

 Higher difficulties can be challenging and unforgiving to players on missing even a few beats, so if you are up for the challenge, you can play the extreme mode.

The gamelets you unlock characters and new songs as you hit high scores, and the game is split into two modes.
