Just like Bit.Trip Beat, the game gets brutally challenging quickly. While the line's active, tapping the 2 button will zap any ball crossing the line. Perfect timing is key, and you'll have to make sure you're tracking when the balls will slide over the four lines. The beginning simply weans you into the action, and you'll have to really keep an eye on every pixel of your television display to track the Bit balls as they slide onto the playfield. Pushing in that direction isn't enough – that's just the set up. Bit trip beat wii youtube.

heresy,
Heresy is a false teaching. It is a belief or idea that is in contradiction to orthodoxy. In the context of Christianity, heresy is that which deviates from standard biblical teaching. Examples of heresy would be polytheism, a denial of the resurrection of Christ, a teaching that salvation is obtained by works, etc.
in religion, especially in Christianity, beliefs or views held by a member of a church that contradict its orthodoxy, or core doctrines. It is distinguished from apostasy, which is a complete abandonment of faith that makes the apostate a deserter, or former member. Heresy is also distinguished from schism, which is a splitting of or from the church brought about by disputes over hierarchy or discipline, rather than over matters of doctrine. The heretic considers himself or herself not only a church member but, in a doctrinal controversy, the true believer; indeed, some persons originally labeled heretical were rehabilitated after once abhorred views become accepted. The battle for doctrinal control of Christianity began with the declarations of St. PaulPaul, Saint,

Heresy
(religion, spiritualism, and occult)When religions, especially in the case of historical Christianity, have established doctrines or dogmas that they insist must be accepted as true, people who don't accept them are declared heretical or heretics. They are guilty of heresy, or disagreeing with the accepted norm.
In the past, the Roman Catholic Church, for instance, established a whole department to 'inquire' into questions of heresy. The Inquisition employed extreme measures to root out possible heretics (see Galilei, Galileo). The Puritans of New England used the same methods during the Salem witch trials.
The word has since come to be used outside of religion. Even Republicans and Democrats have been known to accuse those within their ranks as heretics.
heresy
a. an opinion or doctrine contrary to the orthodox tenets of a religious body or church
b. the act of maintaining such an opinion or doctrine
