Lane Modes
The game provides two primary lane configurations: 4LINES and 6LINES, which determine how many note streams appear on screen. Each mode can be played at Easy, Hard, or Over difficulty, letting players choose a suitable challenge level.
For players seeking extra intensity, 4PLUS and 6PLUS add two “Plus Notes” on the far left and right, creating a more dynamic flow without altering the base lane count.
- Start with 4LINES Easy to learn timing before trying Over difficulty.
- Experiment with Plus Notes after mastering standard lanes for a fresh rhythm feel.

DB Affinity System
Each DB character displays fluid Live2D animation and gains deeper bonds as you play more with them. Building affinity unlocks special rewards tied to that character, encouraging repeated play with favorite DBs.
Affinity growth is tied to time spent together, so regular sessions with a chosen DB will gradually increase the relationship level.
- Pick a DB you enjoy watching and focus on their tracks to speed affinity.
- Check reward screens after each session to track progress.
