Games Like Piano Tiles: Tap-the-Tile Music Games Online
Updated
Games like Piano Tiles are rhythm games where tiles come down the screen and you tap each one in time with the music, never the wrong one. Piano Tiles is a mobile game from 2014, developed by Umoni Studio. The games below are original titles by independent studios: some ask for the same taps on black tiles, and others keep the beat with a hopping ball or a one-button runner.
How Piano Tiles plays
In Piano Tiles you tap the black tiles as they scroll down the screen, and you avoid the white ones. Each black tile you tap plays a piano sound, and you lose the game if you tap a white tile. It has six modes: Classic, Arcade, Zen, Rush, Arcade+ and Relay.
So the whole game is one skill: tap the right tile at the right moment, and never the wrong one. This table shows where the games below ask for the same.
