Split Tempo is a twin-stick rhythm game for your own music. Drop in a track you own and the game charts it, then splits it between your thumbs. Each stick flies its own comet, and they rarely want to be in the same place at the same time.
Flick into gates on the beat. Ride long traces through the vocals. Slam both comets together on the big hits, then rip them apart before the next one arrives. Drift too close by accident and they fuse anyway. The stage is choreographed to your song, and it goes off when the drop lands.
Easy gets your thumbs working separately. Master will make you wonder whose thumbs those are.
The two creatures dancing in the corner of the screen are Shubis. You hatched them from eggs your songs gave you and bred them for that look. Between songs, Shubi Park is where you wind down: feed them, play with them, and raise the next generation. Play the songs they ask for, and watch them learn new moves from your music.
When you're proud of one, show it off. Visit a friend's park and leave it there for the day, or top a leaderboard and let its portrait sit above your rivals' names.
Split Tempo also comes with its first EP: five hand-charted tracks, each with its own custom background. In Classic mode, survive all five back to back on three lives, and clear it on Master to earn a Shubi you can't get anywhere else. More EPs will follow after launch as paid DLC, each with new music, backgrounds, special Shubis and its own Classic run.
