### Play Settings

The first step before playing — Play Settings.

“Flow Speed” determines the falling speed of notes. The higher the value, the faster they fall. The default value is **3.3**, adjustable from **1.0 to 12.3**.

The recommended range is **1.0 to 10.0**. When exceeding 10.0, the slider gradually turns red.

> Adjusting flow speed does not affect actual gameplay difficulty — set it according to your preference.

![Flow Speed 12.3](https://milthm.cn/wiki/en/manual/features/flow_123.avif)

“Note Size” adjusts the displayed size of notes.
You can preview the change in real time in the preview box above.

> Adjusting note size does not affect the actual judgment range.

**Background Dimming** controls the brightness of background artwork during gameplay.
![Play Settings](https://milthm.cn/wiki/en/manual/features/play_settings_1.avif)

Enable **“Show Early/Late Indicator”** to display timing hints next to your combo counter when the result isn’t Perfect.

* Left = Early
* Right = Late

Judgment colors:

* Perfect = Blue
* Great = Green
* Good = Yellow
* Bad/Miss = Red

> In-game indicator

Enable **“Multi-hit Hint”** to highlight when two or more notes must be pressed simultaneously.
![Multi-hit Hint](https://milthm.cn/wiki/en/manual/features/multi_rhyme_hint.avif)

**“Auto Skip Blank Intro”** automatically skips the empty section at the beginning of a chart.

**“Enable Miss Effect”** provides visual feedback when tapping without hitting a note.

### Audio Settings

Adjust **Music Volume**, **SFX Volume**, and **UI SFX Volume** using sliders.

Like Flow Speed, sliders gradually turn red when exceeding the recommended range.

You can also adjust and preview **hit sound effects** here.

> If you experience high latency, it’s recommended to turn off hit sounds.
