Three breaks within a single level results in a Game Over screen, with the text stating 'It's Over' and the square, triangle, pentagon, or circle breaking down to pieces. If the shape breaks entirely, the game rewinds to the previous checkpoint. Getting struck by one of these attacks causes the player to lose part of their shape, represented by either a cyan square, a yellow triangle, a green pentagon, or an orange circle if there are multiple players. The rhythm visually manifests on-screen as all manner of objects, of different patterns and sizes, distinguishable by their pink color, that must be dodged until the track ends.
These attacks appear, move, and attack in rhythm to the music, with difficulty increasing the further players progress. Up to four players each control one small shape, surviving attacks simply by dodging against a variety of attacks, such as huge beams, bouncing hills, snake-like spirals, and pulsating shapes.
