The game's primary mechanic is the '''[[Classic Beats|Classic Beat]]''': the patient's row will play a set of 7 equally-spaced beats, and the player must press on the 7th. The game introduces other gimmicks that alter the core behaviour of classic beats as the game continues.<br> | ||
These include things such as [[Row Xs]], where red X's appear on the line making some of the beats silent, forcing you to keep the rhythm in your head.<br> | |||
There are also visual distractions such as the game window "glitching", or various things blocking the line of beats from being seen. <!-- add something here about visual distractions and 1-x? --> | |||
<b>Rhythm Doctor</b>'s secondary mechanic is the '''[[Oneshot Beats|SVT Beat]]''', also called a ''Oneshot'': the patient's row will play a two-beat rhythm, and the player must press on the 2nd beat. A more intuitive way to think of Oneshots is to think of it like a kick-snare pattern. Since the player has 1 beat of anticipation and no reference for when to hit, oneshots follow a ''consistent, looping pattern'' which is [[Oneshot Beats#Cueing|cued by the '''Nurse''']] beforehand.
