EMBERBEAT
Hear the melody. Catch the next beat.
Tap at the gold line, hold feather tails, let hollow rings pass.
Emberbeat is a two-lane rhythm game. Lantern moths drift down through the night; hit the matching drum and join their forest concert. Choose from 36 short pieces across six difficulty chapters. Preview one to find the melody, or jump straight in.
First, make it to the end of a piece. Then work on getting each beat closer. Watch the mistake counter at the top: go over the limit and you will need another take.
Press the drum on the moth’s side as it reaches the gold line. Closer timing earns more points.
A feather tail marks a long note. Press when its head reaches the line and hold until the tail passes.
Do not press the side with a hollow ring. Let it pass, then catch the next beat.
On a keyboard, D plays the left drum and F the right. On a phone, tap the drums. Keep the matching key or drum pressed for long notes. If the keys do not respond, click the playfield first.
Bright bells and plucked strings carry 36 short pieces, each with its own melody and arrangement. A piece lasts about 35–53 seconds. Choose ‘Listen to this song’ to hear it first. A well-timed hit plays the matching note from that piece.
Start with one hand, then try alternating taps, long notes and syncopation. All six difficulty chapters are open, so pick a piece you like and practise until it feels natural.
An original solo rhythm game from Spunky Game. Play in your browser without an account. Each completed piece keeps your best score. Come back to a favourite and see whether you can miss one fewer beat.
Try the first Tutorial piece, Lantern Seed. It uses only the left drum to help you find the beat. Preview it first if you like, then wait for each moth to reach the gold line before tapping.
Hold from start to finish: press when the head reaches the gold line and release after the tail passes it. Letting go early counts as one mistake.
No. Let them pass without pressing that side. If a regular note arrives on the other lane at the same time, play that note as usual.
Only your best completed score for each piece counts towards the total. A new record adds just the improvement. Records stay in this browser and do not sync between devices.
Yes, all 36 pieces are open. Choose a difficulty chapter, then a piece. Notes come in the same order on every retry, so you can learn to hear the next beat coming.
Open Music / Sound effects, adjust Timing offset a little, and try the same piece again. Positive values accept later taps; negative values accept earlier taps. The range is −150 to +150 ms.
