Tempo Cube
Beat-synced one-button runner: jump a bouncing cube over spikes, blocks and gravity portals to the music and push each of five sunset levels to 100%.
Tempo Cube is a rhythm-flavored one-button arcade runner. Your little cube slides forward on its own while a synthesized track plays in time with the level, and every spike row, block staircase and jump pad is spaced to that beat. Tap to hop, hold to keep bouncing, and listen to the kick drum: the timing of the music is the timing of the jumps.
There are five hand-tuned levels, from the gentle 150 BPM Sunrise Stroll to the 190 BPM Starlight Finale. Each one starts with easy single spikes and builds toward triple spike pits, hanging spikes, yellow jump pads that launch you high and portals that flip gravity so you run along the ceiling. A progress bar tracks how far you got, marks your personal record and chimes at every quarter. Reaching 50% on a level unlocks the next one, and a crash shows your percentage and score before an instant auto-retry, so attempt after attempt flows together.
It is made for players who love trial-and-error precision games and the satisfaction of finally clearing a stage. Every attempt scores its percentage times the level number times ten, with a big bonus for a full clear, so harder songs pay more. Tip: on long staircases, hold the button instead of tapping and let the cube chain its jumps.
How to play
The cube runs forward by itself. Press Space, Up, W, click or tap to jump; hold to jump again as soon as you land. Avoid spikes and the sides of blocks, land on block tops, bounce off yellow pads and pass through portals that flip gravity. Reach the checkered finish to clear the level. Each attempt scores its % reached x level number x 10, plus a clear bonus. Reach 50% on a level to unlock the next.
