Rank Levels
Different ranks based on final accuracy:

(95%+)
(85%+)
(70%+)

Score Calculation
Final Accuracy = (Total Score / Maximum Score) × 100%
Example: A level has 100 beats, you got 85 Perfect, 10 Good, 5 Okay. Your accuracy is (85×1 + 10×0.75 + 5×0.5) / 100 = 95%, earning S rank.
Tips to Improve Score
Calibrate Your Device
Correct audio offset settings are the foundation for high scores. Calibrate in main menu.
Use Practice Mode
Practice difficult sections repeatedly until you can pass them consistently.
Listen, Don't Watch
Visual distractions are part of the game. Trust your ears.
Keep the Beat
Tap along with your body, maintain a steady internal rhythm.
Take Breaks
Fatigue reduces reaction speed. Rest when tired, try again tomorrow.
