English Gameplay of Lockstep

The step-switchers will first begin stepping in beat after the clock signal in the background reaches its fourth tick. The player must step consistently in this same beat until one of the step-switchers signals to step in offbeat to the rhythm. The rhythm will keep switching on and offbeat during the game when signaled.
