Game Play

The game consists of several levels, each one based on one tune, where the user has to press the right buttons in sync with music. The buttons to press and when to press them are shown by moving button icons going from the bottom to top of the screen. Once a button reaches the top, it must be pressed. Correct presses give points and energy (the more synched the press, the more points and energy). Wrong presses remove energy. If the players energy gets to zero, the player can't finish the level and loses the game. If the energy level is higher than zero, the player goes to the next level.
