Chronomia FBD 11: the perfect dive, frame by frame

Read the card

1. 1

   Read the card: FORBIDDEN 11, and a best to beat

   The select card pins the ceiling at FORBIDDEN 11 — red badge, clock jacket credited to illustrator inukoro — and shows the high score this run is about to replace: 099'846'275. The player's encounter deck sits at 11,300 against 7,400.

   

2. 2

   The field assembles through a clock's prism

   Chronomia's load-in refracts the whole stage through a kaleidoscope of triangles — a fitting lens for a jacket drawn as a watch face. The deck panel reads 7,400 and 11,300 on the way in.

   

3. 3

   Phase 0: SPEED 5.80 on a field of gears

   The opening frame confirms the contract: FBD 11 at SPEED 5.80, score 000'000'000, and a stage floor drawn as clockwork. Slower scroll than most FBD ceilings — the density does the hurting instead.

   

The opening: holds and the first 300

1. 4

   Hexagon holds open the account

   The first submission comes as hexagonal hold rings under the lanes — hold them clean and the chain builds untouched. Double EXACT at 003'570'880 keeps the multiplier chip at full.

   

2. 5

   300 links before the first minute is out

   By 018'627'053 the chain counter reads 300 — every note so far an EXACT. On a chart whose result will show zero NEAR and zero BREAK, milestones like this one are the whole game.

   

The middle: ribbons and wide presses

1. 6

   The ribbon bend

   Chronomia's signature middle-section shape: a curved ribbon of notes sweeping across the lanes, forcing the hand to travel while the eye stays on the judgment line. Double EXACT rides it clean at 029'328'061.

   

2. 7

   Phase 4 presses wide

   A green flash marks a full-width triangle press at 063'246'381 — the chart's way of asking for every lane at once. The hexagon hold underneath keeps glowing: releases matter as much as hits.

   

3. 8

   Slab exchanges

   Cyan and violet slabs alternate presses through the late middle at 073'776'704. This is where most runs bleed NEARs — the perfect line here means hand paths, not just timing.

   

The finish: a perfect tally

1. 9

   1,570 links and climbing

   At 097'517'042 the chain reads 1,570 with a green flash on the landing. The final wall is still ahead — and the counter has 40 links left to earn before 1,610.

   

2. 10

   PERFECT DIVE — zero NEAR, zero BREAK

   The banner confirms what the chain implied: every one of the chart's notes, judged EXACT. In Falsus reserves this banner for runs with no NEAR and no BREAK — the rarest screen on any FBD chart.

   

3. 11

   100'001'554 with MAX LINK 1610

   The end-of-run HUD shows the new best — 100'001'554 — over MAX LINK 1610, with the encounter meter maxed at 000'152'438 and five stars. The FBD 11 SPEED 5.80 banner stays pinned top right.

   

4. 12

   The card that records 1,810 notes

   The result card sums the chart: EXACT 343+803+429+179 precise plus 45+11 wide, NEAR 0, BREAK 0 — 1,810 notes, a number neither community wiki publishes. It also shows the margin over the player's own previous best: +000'155'279.
