Three settings you must adjust when obtaining the game for the first time

- Rhythm offset (Offset): This is the most critical setting that affects the feel. Find the offset adjustment in Settings-Rhythm Game and calibrate it frame by frame according to the guide song. Everyone's device latency is different, so be sure to adjust it yourself.
- Note falling speed: Recommended for newbies 5-6 speed Start trying. If the speed is too fast, you will not be able to react. If the speed is too slow, the notes will be densely packed, which is not conducive to judgment. Once you find a speed you are comfortable with, don't change it frequently.
- Key tone switch: recommendationTurn off the key tone first. The key sound will interfere with your listening to the rhythm of the music, making it more difficult to find the correct beat point. Wait until you are familiar with it and then turn it on according to your preference.
