melod is a classic music/rhythm game that lets you play great songs by a wide variety of indie artists—discover new music and chase high scores! There are two types of instrumentals to play: "Melody" and "Rhythm"! Be warned: "Rhythm" mode adds a fifth "bass pedal" note that drastically increases the level of difficulty. Charts reflect the notes of the song, and your part drops if you miss notes. Explore the inner machinations of the music in the game! You can play the game on "Chill" or on "Challenge" mode. "Chill" gives an easier, relaxing experience, while "challenge" gives the full experience, pushing your music-gaming skills as far as they can go. Along with the free experience, you can also purchase a "melodx" subscription, which gives you access to a selection of playable songs that will develop over time. Other songs can be purchased individually.

Both are free to download. Rock Battle sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and melod sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
melod holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: melod has 436 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
