Step Charts

Exercise prompts scroll toward a hit line in four lanes. Trigger the matching direction as each note reaches the line, the closer to perfect, the better the judgement. Strong timing keeps your heart-rate meter and combo climbing for a bigger score.

• Squat maps to down, jump and reach to up, lunges to left and right
• Hit each note as it crosses the line for Perfect or Good ratings
• Keep your combo alive to raise the heart-rate multiplier
• Pick Interval or Practice charts, with a shared Daily or Random routine

• Desktop: arrow keys or WASD on the beat
• Phone & tablet: tap the matching half of the lane (top to bottom maps to up/down/left/right)

• Aim for Perfect timing, it scores more and feeds the combo fastest
• Don't mash early; a too-soon tap is wasted, so wait for the note to reach the line
• Holding tempo through a run keeps your heart-rate zone (and multiplier) high

Step Charts turns a workout routine into a beat-matching rhythm challenge.

• Skills: rhythm, coordination, physical activity, fitness routines
• Best for: all ages
• For parents & teachers: a workout you follow to the beat.

Exercise prompts scrolling to a hit line in four lanes is exergaming, the form Dance Dance Revolution established in 1998.

Substituting exercise prompts for dance steps is the original transfer.

DDR is the case study for the whole category, having been adopted by schools and studied as genuine physical activity. The insight it proved is that a rhythm game will sustain effort that the same movements as instructions will not.
