Grok Rhythm

An original space rhythm game. Notes slide down four lanes. Hit each one as it crosses the line, in time with the music. Every song is composed by the game itself with WebAudio synths, using drums, bass, pads, arpeggios and a lead melody that your hits play. No recordings or samples are used.

25 songs in five sets: Launch Pad, Asteroid Beats, Nebula Grooves, Alien Disco and Mothership Mainframe. Tempos run from a gentle 90 BPM up to 164 BPM. Each song has Easy, Normal and Hard charts, and clearing a song unlocks the next one. The first song, First Contact, is slow and friendly.

Notes:

• Tap notes: press once.
• Double notes: two lanes at once.
• Hold notes: press and keep holding until the tail ends.
• Star notes: worth double points and restore health.
• Red mines: don't press their lane as they pass.

Judging: Perfect, Great, Good or Miss, using the game's own 60-ticks-per-second clock rather than audio time, so every replay scores exactly the same. Combos raise your multiplier up to x4. Misses and mines drain the health bar; if it empties, the song fails.

Clearing a song earns 1 star, 90% accuracy earns 2, and 97% earns 3. A full combo also gives a bonus.

Modes and extras:

• Practice: any unlocked chart at 3/4 speed with no fail and no score.
• Endless Mix: chained slices of your unlocked songs that get harder as you go.
• Daily Song: one seeded song, the same for everyone that day, with one try.
• Calibrate: tap along to a beep to set your latency offset, or nudge it by hand.
• 8 note skins (Orbs, Crystals, Saucers, Pixels, Neon, Planets, Eyeballs, Grok Gold), unlocked with stars.

Score: best score of every song chart × difficulty (Normal ×1.25, Hard ×1.5), plus your Endless best, the Daily, and a 12000 bonus for clearing all 25 songs. The difficulty setting also tightens the timing windows. Log off to post. The game autosaves with no undo, and every score is replay-checked on the server.
