A four-lane rhythm game where every track comes from an independent artist. Tap, hold and swipe to the beat, build your combo, and find new music by playing it.
Free in your browser on desktop and mobile · Beta, updated weekly. Native iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows builds are in development.
Four lanes. Four buttons. You get it in seconds. Notes ride the highway toward the pads; hit them on the beat for PERFECT, chain them for combo multipliers up to ×8, and fill HYPE for a double-score surge.
Four simple note types. No strum bar, no menus mid-song. On a keyboard use D F J K or the arrow keys.
Notes follow the audio clock, not the frame rate. Calibrate once for speakers, wired headphones or Bluetooth.
Every track has three charts, from relaxed quarter notes to dense sixteenth-note runs.
Send KBeats your master directly. KBeats does not pull audio from any streaming service.
Our analyser finds the tempo, beats, drops and sustained sections, then writes Easy, Normal and Expert charts that a validator checks are physically playable.
Your track enters rotation. Players compete, follow you, and tap through to your SoundCloud.
Every track here is music an artist uploaded and KBeats approved. New tracks appear as submissions pass review.
KBeats turns independent music into a game and pays artists for the play it brings in.
Of the distributable game revenue attributable to your track, 90% is yours and 10% is the KBeats platform fee. This is game revenue only: it never touches your SoundCloud or other streaming royalties.
Your dashboard will show earnings as Estimated, Finalized or Paid, and never shows an estimate as paid. Payout thresholds and timing are set in the Artist Agreement.
Preview every chart, edit notes in the browser editor, and approve before anything goes live. You keep your rights. Disputed tracks are paused straight away.
