Beat the Song

Beat the Song is a music game in which you play missing instruments by hitting falling icons at the right time. The music plays in the background at half volume; pressing the correct keys restores the instruments and builds the song back to its original form.

Play the music

Skipping icons or hitting them too early or late makes the instruments play at the wrong time or not at all. The result can become a mess, and you may not reach the end of the song. You can learn songs through practice, and play different instruments at different moments.

Songs and difficulty

Most songs are full-length and unabridged, with some lasting five minutes rather than 30 seconds. You can try different songs on easy difficulty, though some may still feel easier or harder than others. Medium difficulty and above is described as giving the right feel for the game.
