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

About

tondo!

Read full description

tondo is a one-tap rhythm arcade game. A ball sweeps around a ring, coloured bars appear, and you tap in time as it crosses them. Every hit plays a note — so every run composes its own little melody. Simple to pick up. Easy to lose an evening to. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap in time as the ball reaches the coloured bar • Hold the wider bars — press as the ball enters, release as it leaves, and time it right for more points • One miss ends the run. Beat your best. IT GROWS AS YOU GO • Every 10 points: faster pace, new colours, a fresh instrument • The ring morphs shape — circle, hexagon, rounded square, triangle • Push further and the whole ring drifts around the screen MADE TO FEEL GOOD • Every tap is a musical note, building a melody as you play • Warm, minimal design in a calm dark palette • Rich haptics that land with every hit • A colour-blind friendly mode, for clear play for everyone HONEST BY DESIGN No power-ups. No currencies. No lives. No daily rewards. Just you, the rhythm, and your best score. Ads stay out of your way — watch one only if you choose to continue a run. Free to play. Turn the sound on for the full effect. Game Center is optional. If you sign in, your best score joins the global leaderboard. Nothing is shared without your say so.
