Have you ever dreamed of creating your own rhythm or music game, but felt held back by complicated coding? With hyperPad, you can turn your iPad into a powerful game studio and start building interactive music games—without writing a single line of code.

Perfect for anyone who wants to make a piano simulator, a beat-matching rhythm game, or an experimental sound experience, hyperPad gives you the tools to bring your musical ideas to life. All on iPad.

Why Make a Music Game?

Music games are some of the most engaging and replayable experiences out there. Titles like Guitar Hero, Osu!, and Beat Saber have shown how fun it is to combine music and gameplay. Creating your own lets you:

  • Share your favorite songs in a unique way

  • Teach music through interactive experiences

  • Design relaxing soundscapes or fast-paced rhythm challenges

  • Experiment with combining game mechanics and audio in creative ways

With hyperPad, you don’t need coding knowledge. You just need your imagination and your iPad.

How to Build Music Games in hyperPad

Here’s how easy it is to start:

1. Import Your Music

Bring in your own audio files—whether it’s original music, beats you’ve made, or royalty-free tracks. hyperPad supports custom sound effects and music so your game feels unique.

2. Add Visuals and Gameplay

Use drag-and-drop logic blocks to sync actions with the music. For example:

  • Tap objects in time with the beat

  • Trigger animations when a note plays

  • Make visualizers that react to sound

3. Create Interactive Challenges

Design levels where players:

  • Tap or swipe in rhythm

  • Hit notes on a scrolling track

  • Unlock new songs as they progress

4. Test Instantly

Unlike traditional coding, hyperPad lets you test your music game instantly on iPad. No compiling or waiting.

5. Share with the World

When your game is ready, you can:

  • Upload to the hyperPad Hub to get feedback from a global community

  • Export to the App Store and publish your own music game
