Like battles, rhythm games are dispersed throughout the main story and must be cleared in order to proceed. Mandated rhythm games will always be at level Easy, but you can access Normal and Hard modes in the RHYTHMIC section on your HOME screen.

Points & Scores
Tap your screen as the notes approach the target. You want to try to tap the second they’re fully on the target. You can get either a GOOD, GREAT, or PERFECT for every tap, which will determine your final score, a rank from C to SS. (Your rank does not affect anything in the main story).

To achieve a Full Combo, you must only get GREAT or PERFECT taps.

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Tapping Area
The area you need to tap on the screen depends on the note’s color.

Green - Tap anywhere you want Blue - Tap the left side of your screen Red - Tap the right side of your screen Purple - Tap the note itself

Red & Blue Notes — If you forget which color to tap left or right for, the colors are depicted at the bottom of your screen. Some have also found it helpful to turn your device vertically in cases where all the notes flow from one side, to make them instead fall downward—this will let you better see that blue is left and red is right.

Purple Notes — Rather than moving towards a target, purple notes stay in one place and each shows a timer. Aim to tap them as soon as the purple timer runs out. Additionally, the numbers shown on these notes are meant to count down the order in which you tap them; they don’t represent the actual number of seconds you have to wait.

You may also come across Long-Hold Notes, which must be held for the duration of the note. They recently released another type of note to the game, a swipe note. Swipe notes, as the name states, have to either be swiped to the left or to the right. As of Part 2 of Episode 5, yet another type of note has been introduced, the Moving Note. (These notes are for the purple notes only). Moving notes are notes that you tap and follow the line without letting go until you see the next note.

You can pause the game by tapping the menu icon during rhythmic. The tapping area instructions can also be found on the menu.

Three buttons will appear on the screen: リタイア (Retire), 表示を消す (Turn off display), and 再開 (Resume)

Adjustment Settings
You have the option to adjust your note tap timing, as well as the volume for background music, tapping sounds, and sound effects. Tap the Others icon on the home screen >  CONFIG > tap リズミック設定 (Rhythmic Settings) second tab on the right. (View Rhythmic Settings in Others for more info).

※ The default for your note tap timing setting is 0, and the max values are -30 to 30. Set the value greater than 0 for slower timing, and less than 0 for faster timing. ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

Rhythmic Missions
Rhythmics could be played again from the HOME screen by tapping the RHYTHMIC icon. You can earn rewards by playing on different difficulty modes and satisfying the conditions. Tap the Rhythmic Setting icon to make adjustments.

NOTE: You can observe the episode's rhythmic map by tapping the DEMO button in Easy, Normal, and Hard mode to understand the layout of the notes. The minigame will be played in AUTO.
