How to play Beat Runner
- Notes fall down four lanes towards the hit line at the bottom.
- Press the matching lane key as a note crosses the line.
- The closer to the line, the better the judgement — Perfect, Great, or Good.
- Missing a note breaks your combo and drains the health bar.

Tips & strategy
- Rest your fingers on the keys before the song starts. Reaching for them mid-pattern costs you the combo.
- Watch the lane a little above the hit line rather than the line itself — you need lead time to react.
- Do not chase a missed note. Let it go and catch the next one cleanly.
- Accuracy matters more than raw hits: a full Perfect run scores far above a sloppy one with the same note count.
Frequently asked questions
Is there real music?
The game generates its own tones with the Web Audio API, so each hit is a note in the pattern. Turn sound on for the full effect.
Can I fail a track?
Yes. The health bar drops on misses and refills slowly on hits, and the run ends if it empties.
Are the patterns always the same?
Each difficulty has a fixed tempo but the note pattern is regenerated per run, so you cannot simply memorise one chart.
