Ready for the rest?
75 tape puzzles: fifty main-line puzzles across five cassette programs, ten B-side remixes of them and a fifteen-room hidden track in which every room uses a combination of parts that no earlier room uses. Each has a three-star par rating, and you get a three-step hint ladder, the Next beat and Check tape tools, and a library of your best beats. Using the third hint or Next beat caps that attempt at two stars. On top of that, a daily room: a new puzzle built and checked for every date, with its own best record.
