Playing the game

Before starting

• Once the executeable has been run, the stage will start in in a unlit state.
• It is necessary to identify which controller is the left and right once before continuing. The left controller has a laser pointer while the right does not.
• The player should then stand at the center of the stage and be ready to start calibrating the height of the motion tracking spheres.
• Holding the menu button on the right controller allows to change the height of the motion tracking spheres.
  • The spheres should be placed at a comfortable height so the top sphere can be easily hit.
• Once the menu button is released, the game starts by preparing a countdown to the start of the song which ends with the first cue.

While playing

• The right controller is used for conducting the visually displayed pattern by hitting the spheres on beat.
• The left controller is used to hit cues whenever they are ready.
  • It is intended to hit a cue at the start of a measure so once the circular progress starts, the first beat of the next measure is the one that the player should aim for.
    • The first beat of a measure is always the bottom sphere.
