Gameplay

Screenshot of the game

The aim of the game is to press the black surfaces on a kind of virtual piano without touching the white surfaces. The areas to come can be seen beforehand and new levels appear again and again as soon as you touch the black area. If you touch a white surface, it's game over. Each time you touch a black surface, you will also hear a piano sound (for example from Für Elise or An die Freude ). There are six game modes to choose from. These are the classic mode in which the player must have touched a certain number of surfaces in order to win. In Acarde mode, the areas move automatically and the player has to be fast enough not to lose by leaving out an area. In Zen mode, the player has to hit as many black areas as possible in a given time. The rush mode works like the acarde mode, but the speed increases. Relay mode works like Zen mode, but the time can be reset by touching black areas. In Acarde + mode you can also add further difficulties and configurations to the Acarde mode.

In the second part of the game, the level system and the surface design were revised and many other things changed.
