APM →
Garbage attack generated per minute, not keyboard actions per minute. Whether cancelled attack is included depends on the game's statistic; compare values within the same ruleset.
Level →
A stage of progression that may change gravity, delays or scoring multipliers. Level 20 in one game need not play like level 20 in another.
Ultra →
Score as much as possible within a time limit, commonly two or three minutes. Efficient scoring patterns matter, unlike a line sprint where the main objective is the finish time.
