skāl - verb

• To climb up something steep, such as a wall, building, or a sleeping giant.
• To remove tartar, plaque, or gold from teeth.

Backstory

You happen across a sleeping giant, a race notorious for using the purest of gold to fill their teeth. Many have died trying to recover the precious metal, but you have a secret weapon- rhythm! Groove to the beat of the beast's snores while you plunder his fillings, and make it out with enough gold to buy a round of pints for the homies.

Object of the Game

• Mine as much gold from the giant's teeth as possible by hitting the notes with precision timing!
• When mining the gold, line up the center of the pickaxe with the center of the gold for the most points.
• Missing a note will cause you to spill some of your beer, be careful not to run out!
