What to expect

Objective
Hit bubbles of the current color when the timing ring meets them.
Rule pressure
The color switches every eight beats, with beat eight as a rest; the page describes two short levels and Daily Beat.
Creator-listed input
Tap the matching bubble; the page does not specify keyboard controls.

Watch both timing and color

A ring closes around each bubble; the creator says to tap when ring and bubble meet, but only for the current color. The active color changes every eight beats and old colors become traps. Beat eight is a rest that previews the next color, with a faster four-beat switch described for the finale.

Pick a short chart or a shared daily one

The page describes a 30-second tutorial and a 40-second level with off-beats, decoys and a finale, plus a Daily Beat with the same chart for everyone that day. Each color has a distinct shape. The creator suggests a timing offset for delayed headphones; Joywisp has not tested calibration or phone audio settings.

How to choose

The creator describes tapping a matching-color bubble when its timing ring reaches it; other input options are not specified. Choose Beat the Hue for color selection and trap avoidance layered on rhythm timing. Lantern City focuses on catching a performer as it lands and revealing a picture; the creator lists just the first island for that itch.io edition.
