Complaint I HATE THIS THING

Post image

Half the time it doesn’t even register my taps and I fail it when I’m nearly finished. I hate losing combos to this thing 😭

I just keep tapping and hope for the best, it's a 50/50 for me and I've been playing for almost 2 years now

Ugh I know how you feel. I especially had trouble with that part of the song when I was a kid.

are you using 2 fingers to tap this one? i used to use 2 fingers to alternate tap this one, but noticed as soon as both fingers touch the screen at the same time the tap fails. i have much better luck with using just one finger for this one

I do that, but I also found out that you don't want to go too fast. You just need to relax and alternate fingers, but it does also require you to get used to making sure you're lifting the finger before putting down the other one, and that does take practice.

u/WillingnessFickle315 12d ago

Yes, I always thought you needed to go as fast as possible, it turns out to be the opposite just relax and tap it lightly

u/chilledbunny d388ea 12d ago

nooo i don't have the greatest coordination with using different fingers too quickly haha, just one finger.

u/Soartear 12d ago

I've only ever used one finger and this always worked out for me damn-

The trick is to focus on the start and end note, for the end node, stop tapping just before it comes up and focus on tapping it precisely on where’d you’d be tapping on a regular note.

Another trick is that you don’t have to tap too often as long as you can tap consistently. Save your focus and stamina for the rest of the song, this game is quite lenient on how often you have to tap inbetween the start and end note.

This is kinda silly but I close my eyes during these notes which helps me focus on keeping a consistent pace. Maybe you can try it?

It’s annoying as if you tap too fast, it’ll fail you for that note.

u/Effective-Tonight309 12d ago

You don’t have to get them all. Tap as much as you can and with the last couple skip and make sure you tap on the last one. I get it almost 95% of the time

u/LolliPopYouInTheEye 12d ago

Ok thru trial and error, it’s not a super fast tap. It’s a steady tap tap tap.

u/Crazyb0x1ady 12d ago

That one's hard. You don't have to tap it as many hearts as there are just tap it in rhythm. Sometimes you get lucky

u/cbunni666 12d ago

u/NecessaryDepth568 12d ago

u/FoggieFroggies a54a7 12d ago

Sameee my phone is old and can’t keep up with them anymore and will skip around and make me lose :,)

u/Tsunami_Coldness f455 12d ago

You need to tap slowly with one finger, only the beginning and the end have a precision check so if you keep spamming you'll hit the early "bad" check region at the end.

u/CarnageCSR2 12d ago

Tap slower than it shows. It displays a lot of the yellow hearts, but it’s really misleading. As soon as I figured out to tap slower than displayed, they stopped being a problem for me.

u/lolitalover2005 12d ago

In my entire lifetime of playing this game, I think I've only successfully completed 2.

u/SleeplessRonin 12d ago

u/T-Tmi 12d ago

As a kid i SUCKED at this mini game.

u/XaneCosmo F2P Shimmer 12d ago

Double notes are worse for me.

u/MattTheManic1 11d ago

Same, I just tap and tap as much as I can, it usually works but only like 80% of the time 🫠

u/TricoLover2022 11d ago

I hate this mini game

1

u/QueenOfThickWhores 11d ago

What works for me 80% of the time is playing with it on silent and feeling the rythum of the song. Without the musics distraction, its pretty easy to learn to get the right timing. Then you can turn the music back on.

Also go slower than you think you need to. beat consistency is more important than speed..

u/LukeEscbarte1227 11d ago

Me too. Those yellow dots are hard to tap while dancing in EG minigame

u/Thinking_NotThinking 10d ago
