01 / THE GUIDE
Beat Synchronization
Observe how shot timing aligns with musical downbeats. Compare early versus late hits and note the score impact, then adjust your firing rhythm to maximize multipliers.
- Start slow to learn beat patterns before increasing speed.
- Focus on hitting notes on the downbeat for higher multipliers.

- Try the campaign to experience the story‑driven progression.
