How to play Inner Tempo

1. Four count-in beats get you ready.
2. Tap, click or press Space on every click of the metronome.
3. The beat speeds up, then you can only hear it, then it goes silent while you keep tapping in time. On difficulty 5 that’s four silent beats, and three misses or off-beat taps end the run.
4. You start on difficulty 3 of 10. Clear a difficulty to unlock the next: a faster finish, more beats in silence and a tighter window. Pick any unlocked difficulty with the arrows on the start card.

Tips

• Tap on the click, not on the swing of the arm.
• In the silent section, keep a small movement going, like nodding, to hold the tempo.
• On difficulty 5 each tap has to land within about 90 ms of the beat. Your score is your average timing error.
• Everyone gets the same tempo curve all day, and a new one at midnight UTC. “Practice a new layout” deals a fresh one any time, off the leaderboard.
