The tiles falling toward you are chord names, press the full triad in time as each one lands.

How to play
A chart of named chords scrolls down a keyboard lane. As each chord reaches the hit line you must press every note of its triad or tetrad at once. Nail chords on time to build your score; miss the timing and you lose the hit. It is sight-reading and timing rolled into one.
