About PLAYMUSIC
PLAYMUSIC turns licensed chart songs into a collection of short arcade games, each built around one track and its own hero. Obstacles, gems and enemies are timed to the beat, so the music is not background: it decides when things come at you. Cyber Run is a lane runner about dodging obstacles, Cosmo Run focuses on grabbing gems, Neon Flyer lets you fly in four directions, Taxi Drift puts you behind the wheel holding drifts through traffic, and Cloudscape is a platformer with single and double jumps.
Zombie Slayer and Ironclad Shooter add combat, moving through lanes while shooting enemies, and Tropical Dock and Sunbeam City round out the set. There is no levelling or currency; every song, mode and hero is open from the start, and the difficulty adjusts to the track and to how well you are playing. Each runner-song has its own leaderboard for performance points, and new songs and modes arrive with regular updates. Sound is essential, since the whole design follows the music.

Mobile

- Swipe up: jump, or move up in Neon Flyer

- Tilt left or right: steer in Taxi Drift
- Hold a swipe: drift in Taxi Drift
- Tap: jump in Cyber Run and Cosmo Run, or shoot in Zombie Slayer and Ironclad Shooter
Getting started
- Turn the sound on before starting, because obstacles and pickups are timed to the song and the beat tells you when to act.
- Choose a mode, such as Cyber Run or Taxi Drift; every song, mode and hero is already unlocked.
- In the lane runners, change lanes with Left and Right or a swipe, and jump with Up or a tap to clear obstacles.
- In Taxi Drift, steer with the arrows, a swipe or by tilting, and hold the input to drift through traffic.
- Finish the runner-song to post performance points on its leaderboard, then try another track.
Tips
- Listen for the beat rather than watching only the screen; hazards and gems land on the rhythm, so the music hints at what comes next.
- Cloudscape allows a double jump with two Up presses or a double swipe up, so keep the second jump for gaps a single one cannot cover.
- Difficulty adapts to how well you play, so a cleaner run may bring a tougher pace; steady play beats risky moves for performance points.
- In Neon Flyer all four directions move you, including Down, so you can drop below obstacles instead of only dodging sideways.

PLAYMUSIC FAQ
Do you have to pay to unlock songs in PLAYMUSIC?
No. There are no currencies or in-game purchases, and every song, game mode and hero is available free from the start. New tracks and minigames are added through regular updates.
What game modes does PLAYMUSIC include?
Lane runners such as Cyber Run and Cosmo Run, the Neon Flyer flight game, Taxi Drift, the Cloudscape platformer, and the Zombie Slayer and Ironclad Shooter combat modes, plus Tropical Dock and Sunbeam City. Each is tied to a specific hit track.
Can you play PLAYMUSIC with the sound off?
You can, but keeping sound on is strongly recommended. Obstacles and pickups follow the beat of each licensed song, so muting it removes the cue that tells you when to jump, slide or drift.
How do you drift in Taxi Drift on a phone?
Hold a swipe to drift, and tilt the device left or right or swipe to steer. On a computer, holding an arrow key performs the drift instead while the other arrows steer.
