xBeat is a playful 3d rhythm game that challenges your tap-timing and listening skills. Simon Says for rhythm, you first listen and then try to repeat the rhythm you just heard. As levels progress you are challenged with faster and faster tempos and more and more notes. You are a gem hunter mining for precious light-note gems. With your hand-held instrument you can form gems in strange regions of space by replicating the timing of light pulses, filling the voids with light-notes. The gravity of the light-notes will crystallize space matter into a light-filled gem. A flawless rhythm gem will retain all of the light notes you send it. The accuracy of your timing will determine the value of the gem, earning you coins. Use coin credits in the space vending machine to upgrade your instruments and sounds. As you advance in levels you can find new rare gems. xBeat has many modes of play to suit your style from easy-play to achievements and a leader-board where you can see world rankings. Joining is as simple as adding a gamer handle. Add your friends' names if you want to see how you rank amongst your peers. - Eye candy: Translucent, 3d graphics with random colors and random animation paths for endless freshness - Ear candy: Rich variety of percussion sounds which can also be used to play like a drum - Educational Standard: Complete rhythms for exploration - Bug Free - Cowbell: Can never have enough

Challenge your musical skill with Interval by determining which chord was played. For each puzzle, three chords are played with the musical notation displayed for the first two. The third chord will be one of four choices displayed - choose your answer by touching the right chord. The point value for each game will be added to your score for the correct answer, but half the points will be deducted for each wrong one. You can play the three chords as many times as you like, and you can move on to the next puzzle without answering and without penalty. Your musical knowledge will increase with repeated playing of the game. You can choose between piano and church organ for the game's instrument.

The call

Interval min's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 7 months vs every 21 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
