About

Drumbro

Features
Read full description

Drumbro is a rhythm game played by feel. Each round, your iPhone plays a short pattern using sound and the Taptic Engine. Then it's your turn: tap the on-screen drum to play the rhythm back. Every tap is judged to the millisecond. Pass a level to advance. Tempos get faster and patterns get trickier. Three lives per run. One final score. Designed for short sessions. Fully offline. WHAT'S IN THE APP - Procedurally generated rhythm patterns - Synthesized percussive sounds and Taptic Engine vibration on every beat - Tap timing scored to the millisecond, with Perfect, Good, and Off-beat ratings - Levels with rising tempo and pattern density - Optional reduced-motion mode - High-contrast dark UI DEVICE REQUIREMENTS Drumbro plays best on iPhones with a Taptic Engine (iPhone 8 and later). On older iPhones the same patterns play with sound and on-screen pulses. iPhone only. SOUND Sound mixes with other audio (Music, podcasts) and respects the iPhone silent switch. Sound and haptics can be toggled independently in Settings. PRIVACY Drumbro stores your high score, best level, tutorial progress, and settings preferences locally on your device only. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, and no network requests. Uninstalling the app removes all stored data. ACCESSIBILITY - VoiceOver labels every control - Reduce Motion is respected - Color is never the only way information is shown - Sound and haptics can be disabled independently from Settings; gameplay continues with full visual cues
