How to play the Tap Tiles Rhythm Game

The board has four lanes. In the lit row at the strike line, one tile is gold. Tap it, and the stack scrolls down to bring up the next row.

Your first tap starts the beat. After that, a bar under the board shrinks for each tile, and you must tap the next gold tile before it empties.

Tapping the wrong lane or letting the beat bar run out ends the run. Your score is kept. Press New track to play a fresh layout.

Speed, combos and the 50-tile track

Each track is 50 tiles long. The beat starts at 1.6 seconds per tile and gets a little shorter with every tile you hit, down to a floor of 0.65 seconds. By the end of the track you are tapping roughly every two-thirds of a second.

Points grow as you go: each correct tap in a run is worth more than the last, until tap value levels off after ten tiles. Tapping all 50 tiles adds a large clear bonus on top.

The lane for each tile is random, and every lane is equally likely and worth the same. Every track can be cleared by a player who taps the right lane in time.

Tap Tiles tips

• Look one row ahead. While you tap the current gold tile, find the next one so your finger is already moving.
• Use two thumbs on a phone: left thumb for the two left lanes, right thumb for the two right lanes.
• Accuracy beats speed. A wrong lane ends the run instantly, while the beat bar usually gives you a little more time than you think.
• Take a breath before your first tap. The clock does not start until you hit the first tile.
• Expect the pace to pick up in the second half of the track, and settle into a steady tapping rhythm before you get there.

What ends the game?

Tapping a lane without the gold tile, or letting the beat bar empty before you tap. Your score is kept either way.

Does it get faster?

Yes. The time per tile starts at 1.6 seconds and shrinks with every tile, down to 0.65 seconds.
