Adjust technique to the game

Watch the active visual cue

Falling objects, marked logs, food and obstacles tell you what to do next. React to the cue instead of memorizing a single timing interval.

Rotate challenge types

Mix precision games with faster action games so every player has a chance to adapt. The table identifies the central task without replacing the on-screen button instructions.

Useful tip

Falling objects, marked logs, food and obstacles tell you what to do next. React to the cue instead of memorizing a single timing interval.
