Thanks, this is the most useful answer I have had on this thing, and it is the one I did not want.
"Neither, it became routine" tells me I built a cue you could find once and then time on autopilot. That is the failure I keep re-shipping: a tell that resolves to one edge is a stopwatch with extra steps, not a read. And if you could not tell what you were looking at, that is on my art, not on you.
The build that is live now is not the two-lane one in the post. It is one beast at the base planting its front leg, 3 reads to clear level 1, 20 second clock. So:
1. Which one did you play, two lanes or one beast?
2. When you tapped "when the bar turned white", were you seeing READ on screen before the beast moved, or were you mostly eating it? That tells me whether you found a real cue or a rhythm that just felt clean.
Trade is open. I will play Flip Run and give you the same honesty back, no praise tax.
