Derby Dash
A horse race ridden by rhythm, for up to twelve. Tap on the beat and your horse drives on; tap off it and it stumbles; hammer the button and it runs out of breath. The beat changes through the race: trot, canter, a gallop that alternates two buttons, a hurdle to hold and let go, and the sprint. First across the line wins.
