Catch the Beat (CtB) is a new play style available in osu! via the Play > Special menu.
Controls:
Left and right arrows move your character. In relax mode, you use the mouse.
Holding Left click or your dash binding (default 'Shift') puts your character in dash mode.
You can use mouse control if you enable the relax mod.
Can I use different characters?
This is planned, and will most probably be available in the next release!
I can't move fast enough for big jumps!
Do you know about the dash key? By default it is Shift, but you can change it via the Options > Input menu. While holding dash, you move at double your normal speed, making it possible to catch the sparsest of fruits.
How do combo breaks work?
Your combo will break if you miss a fruit or a large juice drop. Small drops are bonus points and will not break your combo, as are spinner fruits.
Can CtB sprites be skinned?
Yes. Filenames will be available soon.

All of my games have been S & SS ranks too. I guess we're just too good at catching fruit.
