These are: Longest journey, Casual cutter, Saber surgeon, Lumberjack, Jazz hands, Fencer, Restless slicer, Nihilist, No mercy, and Air slicer. In multiplayer mode, the game awards the player with badges based on performance. The game added a multiplayer mode in which anywhere from two to five players can play a level together, with the person with the highest score winning. Additionally, the game includes a level editor and a practice mode that allows the player to alter the song's speed, or start playing it from any point in time, and not just the beginning. Since its early access stages, the game included a single-player mode as well as a party mode, which features a leaderboard with the player's names, which are entered after each song is played. Both of these new mechanics also calculate score differently than the original blocks.

It is connected to a block and continues on until it either connects to another block or stops altogether. An arc is a line showing the recommended path for your saber to follow.

After the lead slice, there are a number of smaller 'slices' which can be cut. One new mechanic features a new block called a Chain, which starts with a 'slice' which indicates which direction to cut. Since the addition of Original Soundtrack (OST) 5, two new mechanics were introduced to the game. If the bar becomes completely empty, the level will end. If the player completely misses a note, the bar will lose a larger amount. If the player hits any note in the incorrect direction, this 'energy bar' will decrease by a small bit. Underneath the path where the blocks travel is a white bar that slowly fills up as the player hits notes correctly.

In addition, there are occasionally bombs that the player should not hit, and obstacles in the form of oncoming walls that the player's head should avoid. When a block is properly cut by a saber, it is destroyed and a score is awarded, based on the length and angle of the swing and the accuracy of the cut. There are also blocks with dots instead of arrows, which players may hit in any direction. Each one may also be marked with an arrow indicating one of eight possible directions in which the block may be required to be cut through. In each song, the game presents the player with a stream of approaching blocks laid out in sync with the song's beats and notes, located in one of the 12 possible positions of a 4x3 grid. The player uses VR motion controllers to wield a pair of glowing sabers, which by default are colored red and blue for left and right respectively.
