More about this game
Your goal is to maximize the family's calm meter over a 58-second session. You start with 72 percent calm and must tap rhythmic cues like leaves, notes, and sunbeams as their outer rings close. Hitting them accurately adds 4 points to your calm, up to a maximum of 100, while missing drops it by 3 points down to a minimum of 28. The run ends when the timer runs out, and your final calm percentage determines which of the three ending messages you receive.
Tips
- Focus on the outer ring; it takes exactly 2.6 seconds to close in on the cue, giving you a 620-millisecond window to tap.
- Missing a cue costs 3 calm points and drops your meter, which causes visual clutter lines to appear if your calm falls below 68.
- For the long breeze cues, you must hold them for at least 68 percent of their duration to successfully score the hit.
Questions
How long does a session last?
Each session lasts exactly 58 seconds, giving you a short window to build up your calm meter from its starting point of 72 up to the maximum of 100.
What happens if I miss a cue?
Missing a cue drops your calm meter by 3 points, down to a minimum of 28, and immediately resets your current gentle streak back to zero.
How do the different endings work?
Your final calm score changes the ending text. Finishing with 78 or higher earns the best ending, 55 to 77 gives a moderate ending, and anything lower yields the third result.
