Gameplay
The player controls Max the blue microbe in the middle. The player must march forward to make a spiral trail along with the other two. Occasionally, ​with the light ring of a bell, the player must then proceed with three consecutive launches.

Each cue goes at the same speed, but there are different intervals and mixes of them.

Button Mode

 * A: Launch forward

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Launch forward

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The microbe will dash forward along with the other two microbes around it.
 * Barely: The microbe slightly falls behind and lightly bumps into the microbe behind it if it goes too early. If it goes too late, it bumps into the microbe in front of it. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The microbe is pushed forward by the one behind by bumping into it.
