In development1 Beat: Hit Music Game
“1 Beat: Hit Music Game” is a rhythm game for iPhone and Android. Tap, hold, and swipe chart-topping tracks down four lanes — pop, rock, hip-hop, EDM. Beatstar played on three lanes; 1 Beat plays on four, and it is free to play.

About four lanesChapter 02
Diagrams of the layout, not screenshots.
Beatstar played on three lanes. 1 Beat plays on four.
One extra lane sounds small. Three lanes give six ways to hit one or two notes at once; four lanes give ten. Each thumb gets two lanes of its own, so patterns can cross, split and stack in ways three lanes have no room for.
Same three moves you already know. Tap, hold, swipe. If you could read a Beatstar chart, you can read a 1 Beat chart — there is just more of it to keep up with. The aim is charts that are harder to master, not harder to read.
About the gameChapter 03
One hand works. Two hands work better. Notes are tap, hold, and swipe.
Your thumbs never cover the notes you are reading.
Judgement does not wait for the next frame, so a dropped frame is not a missed note.
A bad run ends as a bad score, not as a prompt to watch an advert to continue.
Calibrate once per pair of headphones instead of once per session.
A single switch that gates every visual effect, not a partial one.
You can measure your own devices right now, before 1 Beat exists: try the audio offset calculator.
About BeatstarChapter 04
Beatstar's servers shut down for good on 31 October 2025 and it is not coming back. A lot of what 1 Beat is trying to be, it learned there.
Beatstar put real hits on a note highway, and that is what made a three-minute run feel like the song rather than an exercise.
We take: chart-topping tracks across pop, rock, hip-hop and EDM.
Still building: the song list. Nothing to announce yet.
Beatstar played in portrait on three lanes, with taps, holds and swipes.
We take: the same three note types, in portrait.
Still building: the charts themselves.
If Beatstar ever felt slightly off on wireless earbuds, that was the audio route, not you.
We take: a separate offset remembered for every output device.
Still building: Bluetooth drift, which a stored offset does not remove.
