UI Mood Comparison
Play a level and note how the rain‑themed UI influences your perception of timing. Then, try a rhythm game with a different visual style to see how atmosphere affects focus.
- Observe how the rain motif colors background elements; it can aid in timing perception.
- Compare the UI’s simplicity to other rhythm games to appreciate its minimalism.

Modifier Impact Test
Run the same track three times, each with a different modifier (Wonderful Trial, Fade out, Downpour). Record how each changes your error rate and overall enjoyment.
- Try "Fade out" after mastering basic patterns to improve note anticipation.
- Use "Downpour" in short sessions to experience high intensity without long fatigue.
