#Modes
#Free play
Pick any song and difficulty from the song list. You can sort and group by Pack, A-Z, Artist, Genre, Level, BPM, Length, Newest, Recently Played, Most Played, Favorites or Grade/Clear status. Mark favorites with F (Y on a controller), or let the game choose with Random (R / X).
Song packs: New Songs, Base Songs, Kittyvenom Collection, Guest Artist Collection, plus My Songs for charts you make in the Chart editor.
#Practice Mode
Open Practice from the home menu. Practice is for learning a hard section without pressure.
- You can't fail. Life never ends the song.
- Slow it down: Practice speed runs from 0.5× to 2× in 0.05 steps (default 0.5×). The pitch stays the same.
- Loop a section: set loop start ([ / LB) and loop end (] / RB). When the song reaches the end point, it jumps back to the start and the notes in between become playable again. Clear loop with </kbd> / LT.
- Retry the part I failed (R / View): jumps to 5 seconds before the first spot where you missed 3 notes in a row.
- Practice runs are unranked (they never replace a personal best) but still earn XP.
Practice achievements: Practice Makes Perfect (finish a Practice run), Student of the Game (finish 10), Round and Round (set a loop) and Try, Try Again (retry the part you failed).
#Daily Challenge
Open Daily Challenge from the home menu.
- One song, one difficulty and one modifier per day, the same for everyone. The pick comes from the UTC date, so it changes at 00:00 UTC.
- The modifier is one of: No modifier, Mirror, 1.25× speed, 0.75× speed, Hidden, Sudden, or Mirror + 1.5× speed.
- The challenge's own modifier counts, even ones that would normally make a run unranked. Any other modifier, Practice Mode, or a failed run doesn't count.
- The Daily screen shows today's challenge and Today's Top 10 (your local scores).
- Streamer mode and Hide explicit songs apply here too.
#Streaks
- Completing the challenge on consecutive UTC days builds your streak.
- Completing it twice on the same day doesn't add anything.
- Missing a day restarts the streak at 1 the next time you complete one.
- Your best streak is kept forever.
Daily achievements: Daily Driver (complete one), Three in a Row, Week Warrior (7 days) and Habit Formed (30 days).
#Modifiers
Set these in Settings > Modifiers. The results screen shows which ones were active.
| Modifier | Effect | Ranked? |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror | Flips left/right (and down/up): lane 1 ↔ 4, lane 2 ↔ 3. | Yes |
| Hidden | Notes vanish in the stretch just before the receptors (the last 28% of the highway). | No |
| Sudden | Notes appear late, only in the closer 55% of the highway. | No |
| Song speed | 0.5× to 2× in 0.05 steps; pitch stays the same. Timing windows stay in real time. | Only at 1× |
| Scroll speed | How fast notes travel (0.5× to 4×). Changes spacing only, not the song. | Yes |
Unranked runs still earn XP and count toward modifier achievements: Through the Looking Glass (Mirror), Quick Paws (1.5× or faster), Now You See It (Hidden) and Surprise! (Sudden). The last two are hidden achievements.
#Leaderboards
Today, your scores, history and Daily Top 10 are kept locally on your PC (and synced with your save). Global Steam leaderboards are planned and aren't live yet. When they arrive, only ranked runs will count, and the Leaderboards page will show them.
