Feel the rhythm in your fingertips. Put your senses to the test with this game of music, reflexes, and flashing lights. The better you follow the beat, the higher your score!

Each cube will light up and rotate when it’s time to be tapped. Earn points and extra time with a well-timed hit, but be careful, off-beat taps will hurt your score! Every song is made up of a series of loops, and the final loop is endless. Play each loop well to complete a song at 100% (or even higher) to get the best score possible. Pass each level to unlock all of the music tracks! FEATURES – Easy to play, hard to master – 6 original tracks created by redBit’s own Sound Designer – Clean, minimalist design – Detailed statistics to check your skills – Worldwide leaderboards for each track Qbeat is a rhythm game that will challenge your musical skills.
