Excalirhythm is a rhythm game built around a blacksmith's forge. Every weapon is hammered out to the beat: tap as each note meets the ring, and the tighter your timing, the finer the blade. FORGE TO THE BEAT - Tap in rhythm to forge over 1,000 weapons, from a humble copper dagger to a mythic legendary blade. - Reach for the cymbal on gold accent notes, hold the glowing notes to draw the metal, and chain Perfects to ignite FEVER for double score. - Finish each craft with a one-tap quench for a bonus. A LIVING SMITHY - Hand-crafted pixel art and a procedurally synthesized medieval score. No two 100-level bands sound the same. - Grade every craft from C to S. The better you play, the more the weapon sells for. GROW WHILE YOU ARE AWAY - Send a warrior on an EXPEDITION to hunt with your strongest weapon and return with gold and luck. - Put an apprentice to work MINING enhancement stones around the clock. - ENHANCE your weapons to raise their score, sale value, and expedition spoils. - Spend star shards on a SUPPLY RUN for gold, stones and luck. FAIR BY DESIGN - No paywalls and no pay-to-win — your rhythm is the only currency. A brief full-screen ad plays now and then, and rewarded ads for extra bonuses are always optional. - Cloud save rides your own iCloud: no account, no login, ever. - Play in English or Korean. Pick up the hammer. The anvil is waiting.
