Knockstep

Knock-to-beat rhythm game

Knockstep is a PC rhythm game set around small animal workplaces. You tap a desk, mug, wooden spoon, or another reachable object, and the game listens through your microphone for the two sounds you choose. Each knock moves a conveyor belt forward in time with the music. You can also play with a keyboard, gamepad, or touch controls, and you don't need to know how to drum.

Before starting with a microphone, you teach the game your two knock sounds and sync the mic. When a hit matches the chart, the game calls it “Knock! Perfect!” A missed hit leaves the beat quiet. Keep a combo going and the characters and objects on screen bounce along, including hats, ears, tails, and a pigeon on a shelf.
