About Rhythm Pulse

Notes fall down four lanes, and all four are played from the lower half of the screen. Tap a lane when its note reaches the line: the closer the timing, the better the rating, from Perfect to Great to Good. Notes with a tail need your finger held down to the end, and a miss or an early release resets the combo. The notes follow what you hear, so a song can be learned rather than just reacted to.

There are 16 songs of original music, each on Easy, Normal, Hard and Expert, spread over a Tour of four stages. Every song and difficulty is worth up to three stars, and stars unlock the next songs. Practice mode always lets a song run to the end, while Live mode adds a health bar that stops the song if you miss too much. A new set of three songs arrives every day.

Around the songs sit a DJ Level, daily missions, a daily chest, 12 lane themes, 44 achievements and a leaderboard, and Note Rush earns double notes from every song. No account is needed, and a display name for the leaderboard is optional. Rhythm Pulse is free with ads and optional purchases; there are no ads between songs in your first session and none when the game opens.

Who it is for

Players who love music and timing games, from first-timers on Easy to experienced players chasing full combos on Expert.

We design, build and publish our own apps with the same engineering we put into client software.

Built in Flutter (Dart). Each chart is generated from an onset map of the song itself - the lead melody, the drums, accents and long notes - so the notes follow the music and the same song and difficulty always give the same chart. A per-device latency calibration keeps taps in time, progress is stored locally in SQLite, and the game is localised into nine languages.
