 If the player keeps correctly placing shapes, they will rack up a combo and gain a life back (assuming they have lost any).  If you have a combo at the last 4 turns, the game will start the player's shapes in a random position on the grid to throw them off and further challenge them to keep their combo going. The third phase is an automatic phase where the computer adds many shapes to the grid for gameplay convenience.
-At the end of a stage, the player is ranked in two categories: "Rhythm" and "Art", on a scale from 0 to 50.  "Rhythm" measures how well the player did in keeping on-beat (as well as how many extra actions they did successfully), and "Art" is used to measure how accurate the player's face is to the intended face.  Art is always in multiples of 10. Art only measures the shapes and not the dislocation of them.

The intended faces are shown briefly on the loading screen when playing a level for the first time, and can also be found in the game's manual and website. Replicating the intended face gives you 50 Art points while following the CPU will give you 30 Art points. You can get below 30 Art points if your face is innacurate enough  from the intended face.

 ==Gameplay==
-The goal of every stage in Rhythm 'n' Face is to manipulate shapes (squares, triangles and circles) to create "faces" in sync with the stage music's beat.  Pressing the Circle, Square, and Triangle buttons will select the respective shape and place it in the center of the grid, pressing the L1 and R1 buttons will increase and decrease the size of the shape, and pressing the D-Pad buttons will move the shape on the grid.

-Each stage is comprised of a series of two short phases: a computer player will select a shape and manipulate it into a specific size and position, and the player must then copy the computer player's actions while keeping on-beat.  If the player doesn't get a shape near the correct position and size before the end of their phase, they lose one life.  If the player loses all four of their lives, they must restart the stage.  If the player keeps correctly placing shapes, they will rack up a combo and gain a life back (assuming they have lost any).  If the combo is high enough, the game will start the player's shapes in a random position on the grid to throw them off and further challenge them to keep their combo going.

In the state after the player loses a life, identified by the small characters, you will only need to place the shape closer to the intended position and below or equal to its size.
