❤️ Tap to the rhythm and save a life!❤️ Tap to perform CPR!

Game Overview
Keep the Beat is a rhythm game with a unique CPR theme where your perfectly timed taps are chest compressions that keep a stickman alive. For 60 intense seconds, you must tap in sync with a visual beat indicator that starts at 100 BPM and gradually accelerates to 120 BPM. Each compression is graded as Perfect, Good, or OK based on millisecond-level timing accuracy. Consecutive accurate hits build a combo multiplier that dramatically amplifies your score. The escalating tempo creates a natural difficulty curve that keeps you engaged from start to finish. It blends the satisfaction of rhythm gaming with an educational twist, making it both entertaining and surprisingly informative about real CPR timing.
How to Play
🎯 Objective: Tap to the rhythm for 60 seconds to achieve the highest score possible.
🎮 Controls: Press SPACE or click/tap the screen in time with the beat indicator.
📋 Rules: Perfect (±50ms), Good (±100ms), OK (±150ms) timing windows. Consecutive hits build combos for score multipliers. BPM starts at 100 and ramps up to 120!
Tips & Strategies
- 1.Lock into the visual beat indicator early and let your body internalize the rhythm before worrying about score.
- 2.Aim for Perfect hits consistently rather than rushing. The combo multiplier from a long Perfect streak far exceeds scattered taps.
- 3.When the BPM ramps up past 110, subtly increase your tap speed. The acceleration is gradual, so match it gradually.
- 4.Listen to the audio cues alongside the visual indicator. Using both senses together improves timing accuracy significantly.
Scoring System
Each tap earns points based on timing accuracy: Perfect hits score the most, followed by Good, then OK. Your combo multiplier increases with each consecutive accurate hit and resets on a miss. The final score is the sum of all individual tap scores multiplied by their respective combo values. Maximizing long Perfect streaks is the key to top leaderboard scores.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do Perfect, Good, and OK mean?
These are timing grades based on how close your tap is to the beat. Perfect means you tapped within 50 milliseconds of the exact beat. Good is within 100 milliseconds, and OK is within 150 milliseconds. Tapping outside these windows counts as a miss.
Why does the speed increase during the game?
The BPM gradually increases from 100 to 120 over the 60-second session. This mirrors real CPR guidelines and creates a natural difficulty ramp that tests your ability to adapt your rhythm under pressure.
How long does each round last?
Every round is exactly 60 seconds. This fixed duration makes it easy to fit into any break and ensures every player faces the same time challenge. Your goal is to maximize your score within that one-minute window.
