Tutorial - Please read otherwise the game won't make any sense.

There are several levels, and you beat them by earning points. Each level has a boss, and every boss has unique skills. You can review the boss’s skills before starting the level. ①

To beat a level, you must reach at least the target score. ②

At the end of each level, you may earn coins. You can spend those coins in the shop at the beginning of each level. ③

The shop offers modifiers such as *2, *3, +2, and *-2. Before the level begins, you can strategically place these modifiers on different ranges of your strategy sheet. ④

These modifiers help you earn more points during the game. For example, if you place a *2 modifier on the 31–40 range, your score is multiplied by two every time you stop within that range.

You earn or lose points depending on where you stop the clock. Your goal is to stop at 00, or as close to 00 as possible.

If you stop between 00 and 10, you earn points. The closer you are to 00, the greater your reward becomes.

If you stop between 90 and 99, you lose points. The farther you are from 00, the greater the penalty becomes.

If you fail to stop the clock, you receive the same penalty as if you had stopped at 90.

When you hit .50, all the rules and modifiers are reversed.
