Welcome to experience DEFLATE 音序真空, a drop-style rhythm game carefully crafted by the domestic indie music platform dizzylab. Our inspiration comes from the classic drum machines that defined electronic music, and we hope to bring you a pure and focused rhythm challenge.

[Gameplay]

Switch between two musical dimensions in sync with the beat — you are both the melody and the rhythm.

Every character you choose in DEFLATE comes with its own unique set of timbres. But the real magic lies in the longest key on your keyboard — the Spacebar.

Press the Spacebar as the falling bar reaches the line to enter Melody Mode. Become a melody runner: strike classic falling notes with precision, perform the song’s intricate and expressive lead lines, and enjoy the pure thrill of your fingertips dancing across the keys.

Or press the Spacebar in time with the falling bar to instantly switch into Drum Machine Mode. Become the heartbeat of the rhythm as the screen transforms into a classic two-step drum machine sequencer. Lay down kicks and snares by hand and build the rhythmic backbone that drives the entire track.

[A Tribute to Rhythm and Timbre]

Characters as Timbres: We’ve prepared a selection of characters for you, each carefully designed to represent the unique timbre of a classic drum machine. We hope you enjoy these diverse auditory textures.

Customize Your Stage: In addition to timbres, you can freely mix and match different hit effects and note styles. With a simple, user-friendly interface, we aim to provide a more immersive experience that allows you to fully focus on the music.

A Promise of Continuous Growth: The current characters and content are just the beginning. We are committed to bringing you more characters and rich content in future updates.

[Partnering with Music Creators]

The game’s music library comes from the talented music creators on the dizzylab platform. They have independently uploaded nearly a thousand albums, creating a vibrant collection of fan-made, original, and indie music. We carefully select tracks from this fertile ground, ensuring your gameplay experience is always fresh and full of discovery.

This is not just a game; it’s our attempt to support the independent music ecosystem. Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to meeting you in the rhythmic world of DEFLATE音序真空.
