Chime Tap

Notes drift down from a bamboo chime tree; tap the chimes at the exact beat to play a calm melody and keep the streak alive.

Core mechanic

Falling-note rhythm game where each chime is a lane; tap when the note crosses the strike zone to score, miss and the combo resets.

Controls

Tap the chimes (left/middle/right) in time with falling notes.

Theme

Pastel bamboo wind chimes on a soft hillside with floating petals.

Why now

Music + cozy aesthetic is a uniquely viral TikTok combination right now.
