Overview
Rhythm Game is a rhythm-based web game where players press keys in sync with falling notes to match the beat of a song. Built as a weekend prototype, the game captures the core mechanics of classic rhythm games using modern web technologies.
The demo features League of Legends art and music, but all assets — including the audio, visuals, and beat map — are modular and easy to replace.
To play, press the Play button and use the following keys:
A S D F Space J K L ;
How It Works
- A beat map is generated by recording key press timings relative to the music.
- These timestamps determine when each visual note should reach its target.
- During gameplay, the system compares the user’s inputs to the note positions in real time.
- Scoring is based on timing precision — ranging from Miss to Perfect.
