tempo is a listening game played by ear
Your goal is to guess the BPM of a beat by ear. Listen first, then use the slider to match the speed you remember.
You hear 8 ticks, then you can preview your guess while moving the slider. This is the recommended way to learn the game.
You hear only 4 ticks, and there is no preview while guessing. Hard mode is for when you want the guess to be fully from memory.
Endless plays like normal mode, but the run continues only while your guess stays within the limit. The limit tightens from 8% to 5% as you clear more rounds.
Closer guesses earn more points. A perfect round is 100 points. Five-round modes top out at 500, while an endless total grows with the run.

Hear a beat. Guess the BPM by ear.
Play five rounds, or keep going in endless.
Final score
| Rd | Beat | You | Off | Pts |
|---|
Points are based on how far off you were by ratio, so a miss at 70 and the same-sounding miss at 180 cost the same. A perfect match scores 100.
