Features

The soundtrack is the level

Steer a tiny rocket around the orbit and slip through the gaps in the rings on the beat. Grab the light dots, charge the drop, and let the music carry you.

Music drives everything

Every ring, gap and light dot is placed on the track itself: the kicks, the build-ups, the drops. Quiet parts breathe, the drop hits like a wave.

A Journey to the Sun

The campaign follows a spiral path toward the Sun. Every track is a new stop with its own sound, its own world and a bonus waiting at the end.

Daily challenge & leaderboards

A fresh challenge every day, the same for every player, with modifiers that bend the rules. Then see where you land on the board.

Stream-safe soundtrack

18 original tracks, free to stream and record. Go live on Twitch or upload to YouTube without copyright claims.

JOURNEY

The campaign. Fly the spiral toward the Sun.

FREE PLAY

Pick any track and chase your best score.

DAILY

One challenge a day with a modifier, the same for everyone. Missed a day? Replay it from the archive.

ENDLESS

No finish line. How long can you stay in the flow?

MEGAMIX

Every track in one non-stop mix, with its own leaderboard.

MODIFIERS

Unlock rule-benders on the Journey: faster songs, color gates, vanishing walls, one life. Bigger risk, bigger score.

BURST mode: the rocket fires at waves of neon enemies

Burst mode

Charge the drop. Unleash BURST.

Fill your energy through the build-up. When the drop lands, the orbit breaks open and PERIHELIA flips into an old-school arcade shooter: waves of neon enemies, and the beat is your trigger.
