How to Play:

Follow the rhythm of the music and click the coin as it reaches the glowing spot on the fox's tail to flip it.

Game Background:

The game's story is about a fox striving to cultivate herself into a nine-tailed fox. She needs to collect coins approaching her in rhythm to speed up her cultivation. As the number of tails increases, the game becomes more challenging, giving players a greater sense of difficulty.

In traditional Chinese culture, monetary offerings refer to coins given as a token of respect and devotion to deities or spiritual beings. These offerings symbolize the faith and support of believers, helping the spiritual entity gain power or blessings in return. This concept ties perfectly into our game’s theme, as the fox, striving to become a nine-tailed fox, relies on the accumulation of offerings to progress in her cultivation journey. By incorporating monetary offerings as coins collected through rhythmic gameplay, the game connects this cultural element to the mechanics, creating a meaningful blend of tradition and interactive design.

Core Gameplay:

At the beginning of the game, the fox has only one tail, and the music corresponds to the simplest drum sounds. As players progress, more tails gradually appear. Each time a new tail appears, the music changes in some way, sometimes adding the sound of a new instrument, and other times introducing noticeable changes in melody or rhythm. These changes serve as a reward system to encourage players to keep playing, sparking their curiosity about how the music and tails will evolve next.
