### How to Play

* Controls: Each track is mapped to a specific key. For 4-track gameplay, use D, F, J, and K for tracks 1 through 4. Playing on mobile? Just tap the  lanes directly beneath each track.
* Timing: Notes will drop from the top of the screen in sync with the beat. Press the corresponding key right as the note overlaps the bottom white line. The closer to the center of the line you hit, the higher your score!
* Hold Notes: When a long note appears, press and hold the key as soon as its bottom edge touches the white line. Keep holding, and release it the exact moment the top of the note passes through.
