Maybe a "rest" block, that does nothing and makes no sound but slightly powers up the next beat's attack. For example, a rest block placed on a yellow tile makes the next yellow beat have larger radius (but doesn't affect the other colour beats).
Or maybe it's like how in Smash there are stale moves, but this time it's stale rhythms or stale beats.
but would a rest power a rest? could you have an infinite chain of rests becoming all powerful and when you finally use a beat it ends reality itself?
