When you ae beginning to play the game you may be confused of may things.
So let me explain you some of the basiscs first.

In order to play the game you need somehing you can play with.
I have tried to play the game with keyboard and with Controller.
In my Optinion it is easier to play the game with a controller.
But that is just my personal opinion....
I recommend a XBox 360 Controller to play the game !
I have tried to play ist with an Logitech gamepad but that was just impossible.
The position of the left Stick (XBox Controller) is the best to play this game.



1. RELAXING
If you dont have any fealing for beat or if you are just bad in playing rythm games this is the right difficulty for you to start with (I had to start with this too).

• Reduced objects
  
• Just one Button per Movement-mode
  
• left stick supportet (Up:yellow-left:blue-right:red-down:green)

2. MEDIUM
If you have a feeling for the right beat or if you played some rythm games before this is the right difficulty for you! You also need a quick reaction for this.

• nearly normal number of objects
  
• You need all 4 Colors for any movement-mode
  
• left stick supportet (Up:yellow-left:blue-right:red-down:green)

-> I recommend to use the left stick for the solid obstacles. (This is the control for INTENSE)
-> Its faster and easier if you are playing swiftly tracks

3. INTENSE
If you have a feeling for the right beat or if you played some rythm games before this is the right difficulty for you! You also need a quick reaction and good coordination for this.
I don´t recommend it for beginner cause it would destroy the fun to start with it.

• normal number of objects
  
• You need all 4 Colors for any movement-mode
  
• You need to use the left stick for solid obstacles

4. OVERLOAD
If you have a feeling for the right beat or if you played some rythm games before this is the right difficulty for you! You also need a quick reaction and good coordination for this.
I don´t recommend it for beginner cause it would destroy the fun to start with it.

• normal number of objects
  
• You need all 4 Colors for any movement-mode
  
• You need to use the left stick AND the colored buttons for solid obstacles

5. CUSTOM
If you want to have your own difficulti cause you want to have something between (for example) Relaxing and medium you can choose this to do so.

6. AUTOPLAY
Explains itself ! Doesn´t it ?

There are four different types of movement in this game.

• Walking
  
• Jogging
  
• Running
  
• Flying

It feals like the hitboxes of the bubbles and the obstacles are tiny when you are on "Walking". But when you are "Jogging" and "Running" the size of the hitboxes seem to be increased.


When you have chosen a song to play and klick "play this Track" the Track will load. So you will get this screen which show you the course of your Song.

• 1. (blue) means jogging
  
• 2. (green) means walking
  
• 3. (orange) means running
  
• 4. (purple) means flying

If you know this its easy to prepare yourself for the incoming song....

I have tried many point to focus while playing. And i spend a lot of time by playing this game.
I realized that you have to change the focus depending on the Situation and the type of movement.

If you are walking you have to focus to hit the buttons perfectly. So you need to focus Melody. This works cause walking is very slow. This focus is very helpful specifically when there are many bullbles in front of you. If you focus the nearest bubbele and some of the next you can coordinate is much easier.


Jogging is a bit faster then Walking. So the bubbles are normally not that close to each other. So you can simply take the focus away from Melody. That mens that you can see incoming obstacles way earlier. This is necessary cause of the increased speed.



On the fastes movement on the ground you need to see incoming objects as early as possible.







You need to see the incoming object to have a chance to hit it!







You need to see the incoming object to have a chance to hit it!







Flying is not that easy to manage. There are some special situations.....
Thats a thing you need to learn by yourself i guess.... sry

This game is a lot more fun if you are playing it with a controller. Thats just how it is (in my opinion).
If you really want to enjoy this game i recommend to buy a controller. The best one for this game is the xbox 360 controller.


If you are a beginner you sould press directly in the needed direction and then let the stick whip back. Doing so reduces mistakes and prevent slipping. Your thumb should be in the middle of the 4 colored buttons. In this Position you need the same amount of time to press any of the buttons.




In some Situations you need to hit many buttons in a short period of time. In this Situations it is very helpful to know the colors of the Controller and there directions. If you really know this without thinking of it you are able to hit Buttons very quickly.
If you look at the shape of every bubble to find out which button you have to hit i will take you a lot of time.


personally i changed the difficulti if i was able to get a "perfect chain" without any problems. I started to play with the left stick when i was on medium to be prepared for intense.
I never had problems with the new difficuly level by using this method. Hope you don´t have problems too.

Melody´s Escape works pretty well with every sort of music. But there are some genres that just work better with this game then other. Cause of this i created a list of music that works very good with this game.

• schlager music
  
• Dupstep
  
• Electronic music
  
• Nightcore

If you want to clear any tack on intense with an perfect chain you should try schlager music. Often this type of music is not very fast. Additionally this type of track often have a clear beat.
