Start from Level 1 with 3 lives. Great for beginners! If you lose a life early on, you get a bonus heart at Level 4.
Jump back to your highest checkpoint with just 1 life — a tougher challenge! You earn a bonus heart every 2 levels (up to 2 bonus hearts).
Miss a note and you lose a heart. Lose all hearts and it's game over. Every 20 levels a checkpoint is saved automatically.
