Game Controls / How To Play
1. Whenever a shrinking ring touches a circle with a number in it, tap the number.
2. If there is a bar attached to the circle, drag the ball along the bar.
3. If the bars have a blinking repeat sign at one end while you're dragging the ball, drag the ball back the other direction.
4. When the spinner comes up, keep spinning without pause until it goes away.
What To Look For
1. The circles with the numbers tell you which is coming next by the increasing numbers.
2. The numbers will start at 1 and go to 12 (or more), but the counting restarts whenever the color changes.
3. Each song is broken up into segments separated by breaks to go your hands a rest, but the animation will warn you before restarting.
4. If you start to miss a lot, the screen's image will shake, but the circles and attached bars will not move.
