Gameplay
Piano Tiles is a game where the player's objective is to tap on the black tiles as they appear from the top of the screen while avoiding the white. When each black tile is tapped, it will emit a piano sound. In quick succession, forms famous compositions such as Für Elise and Ode to Joy .[1][4] If the player taps on a white tile, the player will lose the game and be signaled by an off-tune note.[1][4]
Modes
- Classic Mode
There is a set number of tiles the player must touch to win. The screen moves manually, at the rate which the tiles are touched. The player may attempt to touch these tiles in as little time as possible.
- Arcade Mode
The tiles on the screen automatically move and the player must keep up with the pace. The game lasts until one tile is missed in between, or a white tile is tapped. It contains a wide variety of variants, all of which are in a similar mode known as Arcade+ Mode.
- Zen Mode
There is a set time limit and the player may attempt to press as many tiles as possible before the time runs out. As with classic mode, the screen moves at the rate which black tiles are pressed.
- Rush Mode
The screen scrolls automatically, similar to arcade mode. The scroll speed gradually increases and the player is forced to tap tiles at a continuously increasing pace. The player inevitably loses, at which point the game reveals how many tiles per second he or she was able to touch.
- Relay Mode
Similar to zen mode, but the time limit can be reset by tapping tiles. If the player is unable to tap fifty tiles before the time runs out, the game ends. The screen moves at the player's pace in the same way as classic and zen mode.
- Arcade + mode
All tiles move the same as in Arcade mode with added extras.
• Bomb – Every so often a tile with a white face appear. If tapped the game ends.
• Lightning – Every so often there is a flash of lightning.
• Double – Every so often 2 tiles will appear next to each other.
• Billayer – Every so often a tile with 2 horizontal white lines will appear. This tile must be tapped twice.
• Mist – Every so often a mist will appear over the tiles.
• Unstable – The speed of the tiles changes often.
• Rotatory – Every so often the game will reverse and then change back again.
• Shaky – Every so often the game will shake.
• Cloudy – A row of cloud goes in front of you.
• Shift – Every so often a tile will move along the row.
• Change – Every so often a tile will change places.
