What this step asks
Repeat a pattern of 9 tiles on the Hard level. The run opens with 7 tiles and every correct round adds one, so 3 correct rounds take you there. You have 14 rounds and 3 lives; a miss takes a tile off the next pattern and costs you rounds to climb back.
The numbers behind the target
- Opening pattern: 7 tiles on a 4×4 grid, on show for 1000 ms.
- Target pattern: 9 tiles on a 5×5 grid, on show for 1100 ms (50 ms more for every extra tile).
- The grid grows on the way, so the target pattern is spread over more squares than the opening one.
- Rounds to spare for slips: 11 of 14.
Before you start
First steps are about finding the rhythm of the game. Run it once just to watch, then run it to clear it.
The run code fixes the tasks, so every retry is the same course. What you learned on the last attempt still applies.
