About the Game

A casual musical idler. Ideal for background sounds while focusing on study or work.

Leave it on in the background to help with focus, or get mesmerized by the pendulum as it creates polyrhythms.

Squares move up and down playing notes and awarding 'bonk bucks' when changing directions. Once you get enough 'bonk bucks', you can buy more squares. Once you get 100 'bonk bucks', you can prestige to add a multiplier to every bonk. Then you can spend the multiplier to unlock more features such as other scales and instruments. Once you get a whole bunch of multiplier you can unlock the Creative Mode which allows custom scales, speed change, and setting the number of blocks directly.

Features:

  • Custom pitch

  • Echo Squares

  • Auto-Purchase Squares

  • 14 different instruments

  • Mutiple scales

  • Creative Mode - custom scale, speed, and number of squares
