How does the health system work?

[GoatLord]

So i've been playing the game for a long time now, but one thing I never understood was the health system..?

So all I know is that you loose after a while, if you make some mistakes, but I am unsure if it is like "You can miss 10 times and then you loose" or if it's like "You have to miss 10 times in a row to loose". Because it seems like sometimes I screw up a lot but still win, and other times I miss like one or two notes and die instantly. I am so confused of how the health system works so if anyone has got any info, I would appreciate it a lot, and I am sure it would help me on my journey at beating all levels on Expert+ !

Thanks for any replies!

You can see your health bar in front of you, below the conveyor. Normally you lose energy when you miss and regain some as you hit. The Battery multipler option gives you a fixed amount of energy and No Fail takes the bar away entirely.

I think custom songs effect that. In some songs like you mentioned you can miss 10 times in a row before failing. Some songs you can only miss about 5 times before failing.
I'm not 100% sure about this.
It could also be that all or some songs start with half energy or less for example.
That way if you don't get the energy full before you start missing you will fail sooner.

All songs start at half energy. At full energy, you fail on the 6th or 7th miss in a row.

Lose, not loose. You lose a game. You loose an arrow.
