About

The Grid has gone dark. Twenty-four Resonants—neon deities of an arcade underworld—hold its districts, and every one of them attacks in rhythm. You are the Tuner. Parry on the beat, charge THE DROP, break their shields, and take the city back one duel at a time.

Each boss’s music and attack chart come from the same score, so what you hear is what you play. Land clean hits and the mix answers you: shimmer layers rise with your combo, counters ring in key, and a full charge erupts into THE DROP.

How it plays

Hear the Resonant’s attack phrase.
Parry notes, hold rails, and answer two-thumb chords on the beat.
Charge THE DROP, break the shield, and take back the track.

Watch it in play

Real Resonant gameplay captured on iPhone — every banner and score is from one genuine run. More Resonant on the CobraCat Games YouTube channel.

Features

24 boss duels across six acts—house, synthwave, rave, halftime drum and bass, two-step swing, and a trance climb to the finale.
Played by ear, honestly—holds, two-thumb chords, breakers, and cast phrases you hear first, then answer live.
A 30-second calibration wizard locks the game to your ears and screen.
THE PATCHBAY lets you etch modules, build a three-slot signal chain, and overdrive the rules of a duel.
THE ARCHIVE lets you S-rank bosses to claim their tracks as menu music and decode their stories.
Daily Sync, Weekly Trial, Practice, Encore, and Grid Rankings give the Circuit a reason to keep calling.
Four difficulties and defeat assist welcome first-time Tuners and leave a real mastery climb for experts.

Every district has a deity. Every deity has a theme. Take both.

The Practice Room displays all twenty-four Resonant boss portraits in one neon grid.
