Ripple Jam
Find a stranger. Catch a vibe.
Ripple Jam is a live multiplayer music floor. Walk into one of 24 genre zones (House, Techno, Phonk, Lo-fi, K-pop, Drum and Bass and more), and its band starts playing. Tap on the beat to add your sound, build your combo and grow.
Hit the beat together with another player for a jam moment. Fill the crowd meter together and the dragon drop comes. Lose a big combo and the lid blows.
No chat, no words. Just music and strangers vibing.
Controls
Desktop: arrow keys or WASD to move, Space for melody, 1 to 0 for drums, Q W E R for the Looper.
Mobile: joystick to move, tap the pads.
Draw your own shape before you enter. Record a 30 second vertical clip of your jam right in the game.
Also playable at ripplejam.io. Follow @ripplejam on TikTok.

Move with mouse would be nice, thanks for adding the other features they are dope
Mouse movement is in! Your shape now follows the cursor (park it on yourself to stand still). Since you asked, the mouse got a couple of extras too: click someone to raise your hand for a high five, click the floor to comet-dash, and right-click someone to mute or hide them. Keyboard players use H and Shift. Thanks for the ideas good Sire. Man, you’ve shaped half the recent updates!
Edit:Bots will high-five you back if I’m not around 😄
Volume slider for each track
Ah, volume per track! Makes sense, adding it to the list with per-track delete.
When looping with the band, would be nice to have the slider bar that gives the beats while doing it
Oh man good catch. The beat lane hides when the Looper opens. Adding it back so you can see the beat while you loop. Thanks for testing this deep, it really helps 🙏
How do i delete a track if i mess up, but not them all?
Also i have changed my name and face, but i dont think you can see it
Hold the track to undo layers one at a time. A proper per-track delete is coming.
For the name, press ‘Back to the floor’ after changing it. Did that work?
ah, hold the q w e r, i see
Added a ✕ to clear one track, a volume slider per track, and the beat lane now shows while you loop. Let me know how it feels!
Fun game =) Some sounds dont fit the vibe, so would be cool if you could change personal noises for each track if you wanted, or the presets. idk
Thanks for playing! Which zone had the sounds that felt off to you? Picking your own sound per zone is a great idea, noting it down.
Reggaton is both swing and not swing, so hard to "stay on beat" , for sounds.
Muted trumpet feels bad in jazz.
Brushes doesnt sound quite like brushed drums imo.
vinyl stop doesnt fit in lofi, nor does the melody for lofi
trap melody is not trap at all.
chill step melody same thing, doesnt fit the chill.
phonk scares me, idk whats up with that.
syndrum doesnt groove to me
city pop melody feels out of place to me
It is still fun and lots of potential
would also be cool to have a beat daw? idk the right term, for simple turning off or on of beats in looper?
This is super helpful, thank you! Saved every point. Sounds are getting reworked zone by zone, Lo-fi and Trap first. The thing you’re after is already there: open the Looper and press Grid to switch beats on and off. (Is this what you had in mind?) And there’s now a Click box for the metronome 🙌
Also, a metronome to the looper would be dope. As in, being able to change the bpm. also, would be cool to be able to move notes over in track
