About the Game

In Dezzibels, you strike distant notes using energy tethers, giving them space to perform deceptive movements that will challenge your sense of rhythm. You must stay sharp to interpret these visual gimmicks as every level is a test of reading ability and timing!

LOCK, TETHER, STRIKE

Physical reach doesn't matter here. Tethers lock onto distant notes automatically, acting as your visual cue to strike. Wait for the connection! Swinging too early does nothing, and letting them get close is too late. Swipe in the direction of the note's tail the moment the tether locks on to shatter it!

Not every note breaks instantly. For holds, the initial swipe is just the start. Keep your tether tight by extending your hand in the direction of the swipe, draining the note's energy until it fully depletes and shatters.

THE NOTES FIGHT BACK

In Dezzibels, the notes exhibit their own defiant behavior. They don't just passively travel towards you, but rather actively express the music’s vibe through coordinated movement. We use these visual gimmicks to deceive your eyes, creating difficulty by challenging your ability to interpret the flow rather than overwhelming note density. Let the entire stage react to the rhythm!
