There are also blocks with dots instead of arrows, which players may hit in any direction. Each one may also be marked with an arrow indicating one of eight possible directions in which the block may be required to be slashed through. Each block varies in color, corresponding to the color of the saber that should be used to slash it. The game also features the option of playing some songs in certain orientations where blocks approach from around the player. In each song, the game presents the player with a stream of approaching blocks, laid out in sync with the song's beats and notes, located in one of the 12 possible positions of a 4x3 grid. The player uses VR motion controllers to wield a pair of glowing sabers, which by default are colored red and blue for left and right respectively.
The game includes several songs with up to five levels of difficulty, starting from Easy all the way to Expert+.
