Midnite Aura

Three a night. They reset at midnight, local time, and pay into the Midnight Exchange.

Every unlocked record plays on Novice. Points from the Midnight Exchange press the harder charts and new rails.

Rails

If your hits keep reading early or late, tap the pad with ten pulses. Every screen and pair of headphones has its own delay; this measures yours.

• Tap each disc the moment it meets the chrome line. Tap anywhere in its stream.
• Ribbons: tap and hold. The key becomes an orb and the ribbon pours into it; keep holding until the tail runs all the way in.
• Diamonds: tap and flick the way the arrow points.
• Twin discs arrive together. Take both.
• It syncs to you. Every screen, speaker and pair of headphones adds its own delay. The game learns yours in the first few notes and keeps it for this device; Align fine-tunes it.
• Only the notes count. A tap on a stream with nothing to hit is a miss: it breaks the streak, costs accuracy and pulls the singularity. Time your taps; spamming only loses.
• Streaks raise the multiplier: ×2 at 10, ×4 at 25, ×8 at 50. A miss resets it.
• The Aura fills the edges of the highway with every clean hit. When it’s full, Aura Surge goes by itself, right on the next note: double points, white-hot, for nine seconds. Nothing to press — keep your eyes on the road.
• Room Break: stay clean from the start of one Surge all the way through the refill. The rails charge white as the Aura climbs; a miss drains the white. Reach full still white and the next Surge is a Room Break — four times the points for twelve seconds, and the room comes apart.
• The singularity watches every run. Misses pull it closer — the void meter under your accuracy fills, the room starts to shake. Let it fill and the event horizon swallows the song: the run ends there. Clean hits push it back.
• The road catches: embers at the keys at 10 in a row, flames up both sides of the highway at 25, a full inferno at 50 or in a Surge. A miss puts it out.
• On fire: hold a long, clean streak and the singularity recedes and the rails electrify. Every 50 in a row strikes lightning.
• Challenge a friend from any result: they get a link to the same record and chart with your score to beat, and a head-to-head card at the end.
• The sky follows the chart: a clear night on Novice, neon rain on Apex, a thunderstorm on Fantasy. It builds toward the end of the song.
• Grades run S+, S, A, B, C, D, F on accuracy. Gold is earned. An F lands hard.
• New records: the first five are open. Every finished run earns XP toward the next. Better grades, harder charts and full combos earn more.
• Keys: ← ↓ → or A S D. Esc to pause.
• Every finished song pays into the Midnight Exchange. Press harder charts in the Pressing Room. Your last and best sit under every record, and the top runs go on The Board — this device's, and the world's top ten on every chart, all time, this month and today.

The machine’s own levels, kept on this device. The speaker beside LEAVE still switches everything off at once.
