Acrobeat: Trust Your Ears

Acrobeat

About this game

Acrobeat is a timing game you play by ear.

You hear two short beeps. The silence between them is your target. Reproduce that gap and a small desert jerboa leaps up one glowing step. The closer your timing, the higher you climb. Every level leaves you a little less room, down toward the edge of what a person can hear.

There is nothing to memorize and nothing to read. You listen, then match what you heard.

Two ways to play:
- Free climb is endless. Chase your best level and feel your ear get sharper over time.
- The daily challenge is ten fixed steps, the same for everyone that day, with a result you can share and a streak for coming back. One try a day. Like Wordle, for timing.

Why by ear? Your ears read time about ten times more finely than your eyes. The whole game lives in that gap. The bar on screen is only a guide, so trust your ears over your eyes.

Made to be fair and light:
- Free, with no account and no sign up.
- Your scores stay on your own device.
- A round takes seconds. Easy to pick up while you wait for a bus, easy to put down.

Fully playable by ear. Because the game is all sound, it works start to finish with a screen reader, and blind players confirmed it. One honest note: if you use wireless earbuds, Bluetooth adds a little delay, which matters in a game measured in milliseconds. Wired or your phone speaker is sharper, and there is a built in calibration that measures your audio offset and corrects for it.

Headphones on. Hear the gap. Climb the light.
