You'll start with about 40 "beatmaps." Some songs will appear multiple times in the menu with different difficulty settings. You can also change your settings to play in different modes or make the game easier overall.
Playing "Osu!" is straightforward. Simply follow the numbers and click the circles to the beat of the music, and hold the trails with your mouse. If you miss too many, the song will stop and you'll fail.
