Slapdash conducting makes players advance too, since 150 or more Chaos Points counts as a legendary catastrophe.","whyItMatters":"OneCraft is selling failure as a route through the game, not a penalty, and the scoring system is built to reward a deliberate collapse as readily as a clean reading.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe shift in tempo is not a difficulty setting but a physical input: how fast the mouse moves decides how fast the orchestra plays, and how wide the arc is decides how loud.
