About

Barkoff

Features
Read full description

Five bosses. Ten seconds each. One microphone. Barkoff is a single-player boss ladder for your voice. Each fight lasts eight to ten seconds and is scored on two things: how FAST you bark and how LOUD. Speed counts for more โ€” anyone can shout, but holding two barks a second while a dog barks back is another matter. WHAT MAKES IT HARD Volume alone will not carry you. The meter weighs your bark rate above your volume, so a fight is a rhythm test with a loudness floor. Each boss denies you one of the two axes and dares you to win the other. THE FIVE โ€ข Pipsi โ€” small, fast, deeply annoying. Your warm-up. โ€ข Turbo Bublik โ€” a loaf with a motor. Out-shout him; you won't out-pace him. โ€ข DJ Havkins โ€” reads the room and adapts fastest. โ€ข Baron von Gavstein โ€” old money, enormous lungs. Beat him on speed. โ€ข MEGAHAV โ€” fast and loud. Good luck. Each stays locked until you beat the one before it. Medals record how convincingly you won. NO SPEECH RECOGNITION The app measures two numbers: how far a sound sits above the noise in your room, and how long it lasts. It cannot tell what you are saying and does not care what language you speak. SINGLE PLAYER, NO NETWORK No accounts, no leaderboards, no online opponents, and no network requests of any kind. Everything runs on your phone. PRIVACY The microphone is analysed live on device and discarded. Nothing is recorded, stored or transmitted. Ten seconds a fight. Your neighbours will still hear it.

FEEL THE MUSIC. FOLLOW THE RHYTHM. MASTER TAPORA. Tapora is a rhythm game built for mobile, where every track becomes a playground. Targets arrive on the beat: tap, hold, slide and use both thumbs to follow the music as precisely as you can. Easy to understand. Much harder to master. PLAY WITH BOTH THUMBS Elements appear across different zones of the screen and move with the track. Read their path, anticipate their arrival and trigger the right gesture at the right moment. CHAIN YOUR COMBOS Every precise action pushes your combo and your multiplier higher. One mistake can break the streak: stay locked in until the last note. AIM FOR PRECISION Score alone is not enough. Your timing counts. Sharpen your accuracy, beat your best scores and earn the highest ranks. PROGRESS AT YOUR OWN PACE Start with the gentler tracks and levels, then take on sequences that get faster and more technical. REPLAY. IMPROVE. BEAT YOUR RECORDS. Every run is a chance to raise your score, your accuracy and your rank. Headphones recommended.
