Iota Inventory
Toggle an Iota off to see the delta in the output panel. Max 3 Iota per tile; exceeding the Iota Limit triggers Overload.
Card Loadout
One Card per Phase slot, and no two Cards may share a Blueprint. An empty Phase slot fights with a 100/100 baseline.
Encounter Setup
Opening traits take effect in Phase 1; Inner traits in Phases 2–5. Trait timing is a prototype assumption.

System Reference
Mechanics
The rules under the rhythm — difficulties, grades, note types, colors and penalties, as verified in the demo.
| Diff | Full Name | Keys | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIN | Minimal | 4K | Static finger placement, beginner friendly |
| EVO | Evolved | 5K | Active lanes may shift mid-chart |
| ULT | Ultimate | 6K | Requires agile three-finger movement |
| FBD | Forbidden | 6K+ | Wide notes, the ultimate challenge |
Press the matching key. FBD charts add wide notes spanning lanes — any covered key triggers them.
Hold the key. No release timing; FBD lets you transfer mid-hold.
Mouse: keep the cursor inside the purple region. Stray too long and input briefly dies.
Quick mouse flick — left (yellow) or right (green), covering the note's horizontal length.
