What is Rhythm Challenge?
The screen plays a pattern — clap, clap, tap, clap — with real hand-clap and woodblock sounds, counts you in, and you play it back on two big pads (or the A and L keys). Each hit is scored perfect, good or missed by how close to the beat it lands; extra hits cost points. Clear 60% and you move up: patterns grow from three to eight beats and the tempo climbs from 90 to 150 bpm.
Rests appear from level three, so you have to feel the silence too. Play solo with three lives or pass the phone and compare scores level by level.
