Source facts
What is the primary objective during a gameplay session?
Your main goal is to defend against an approaching zombie horde. You achieve this by correctly identifying and playing the specific piano notes displayed on the staff as quickly as possible to zap the zombies before they reach you.
How should a new player approach their first session?
For your first session, it is recommended to use the on-screen virtual piano to start instantly. This allows you to begin practicing note names and staff positions immediately without needing to configure external hardware or acoustic microphone setups.
How does the game distinguish between different skill levels?
The game offers distinct modes for different players. Beginners can follow progressive lessons to learn basic note names and keyboard placement, while intermediate players can focus on increasing their sight-reading speed and reflexes through more difficult challenges.
