Built to Scale (DS)

Built to Scale is the first game in Rhythm Heaven. Getting a perfect will unlock the Built to Scale soundtrack. The sequel, Built to Scale 2, is unlocked later on.

Gameplay
The player shoots a rod through the center of the squares that pass by each other when the "musical scale" hits "Fa" or the 5th note. During the 3rd round, the screen becomes dark except for the middle. This forces the player to rely on audio and rhythm more.

Controls

 * Flick = Shoot Rod

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: The rod hits squarely into the squares and connects them
 * Barely: The rod knocks over both squares
 * Miss: The rod and squares never make contact, in which the squares roll into nearby slots and disappear into them



Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "Looks like you have a rough day..."
 * OK: "Sometimes, being OK is good enough."
 * Superb: "Looking good!"
