How many 'misses' before failure?

[Alt.]

I've managed to complete everything on hard fairly easily, but the jump to expert is wild. What I can't seem to pinpoint is how many blocks do you need to miss before you lose? Sometimes it feels like I missed two or three blocks then I get game over, sometimes I feels like I've missed a lot more and I don't.

Love the game btw, just wish there was some more explanation of how it works when it comes to score / failure states / etc.

Also, showing the percentage for your progress though a song on game over would be a great quality of life improvement, I want to get a better sense of how close I was as I try to beat a song on expert. Expert mode seems to just be about pure memorization, because half the time the blocks obscure the directional arrow for the next bock.

Overall, this is a great start and I can't wait to see it evolve as it progresses through Early Access.

There's a small white health bar out in front of you. It starts of half filled and gains as you hit blocks. So the more blocks you hit, the more misses you can tank.

I feel like the expert mode in this game goes in line with the rhythm game I was playing before this came out, which was DJMAX Respect in Hard and Maximum. You have a health bar, but you lose a lot with a single block missed, and you have to cut quite a chain to recover.

The health bar starts in half in this game, and you can gain a lot of health before you miss anything, which is why you can sometimes miss more to lose.

thanks! I didn't even notice the health bar. This explains why sometimes it felt like I was able to miss more blocks, because you can if you have enough health.

Yeah, it took me some time to notice it as well. It's not very clear right now.
