THE BALL DROPS. THE MUSIC STARTS. Tone Drop is a bouncing ball arcade game where every move you make is a note. Drop the ball, hit the tiles, hear your melody build โ€” one bounce at a time. When the run ends, you've composed something no one else could have made. No sheet music. No rhythm track to follow. Just you, the ball, and whatever comes out. HOW IT WORKS Guide a glowing ball through a neon field of musical tiles. Every tile plays a note from a pentatonic scale โ€” a system that makes every hit sound right, no matter what order. Chain your bounces to trigger chord progressions. Keep the ball alive and the music grows. Three misses, and the song is over. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most music games hand you a song to replay. Tone Drop hands you an instrument. The pentatonic system means every run sounds beautiful โ€” whether you've played piano for twenty years or never touched one. No two sessions ever sound the same. RECORD & SHARE Export your run as a full video โ€” visuals and music, combined. Share the track you just played without touching a single music app. FEATURES - Pentatonic scale system โ€” every bounce sounds musical, always - 80 preset chord progressions across 4 musical modes - 4-layer music beautification โ€” pads, bass, shimmer, beat - Neon visuals synchronized live to your music - 3-miss game over โ€” every life has weight - AVAssetWriter video export โ€” share your creation instantly - Endlessly replayable โ€” no two sessions sound alike - Built for iOS with SpriteKit physics Drop the ball. Make music. Call it yours.
