Top 10 Best Music Android Games – October 2022
Below is a little more information on each app, and a direct link for easy downloading.
All download links go to the app’s Google Play Store listing. Users are always recommended to download apps from Google Play or an authorized app store.
Guitar Band Battle
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: $0.99 – $99.99
- Size: 81MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.2 stars out of 5
If you miss the good old days of Guitar Hero and Rockband, then this app will be perfect for you. This brings the classic aesthetic from those games to make you feel right at home.
The levels take place at rock concerts and the markers travel down a scrolling guitar fretboard. Just like with those classic games, you’ll need to hit the markers in time with the music playing. As you progress, you’ll earn more songs to play through.
Phigros
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: No
- Size: 1GB
- Google Play Rating: 4.6 stars out of 5
Phigros is notable for taking the rhythm game genre and cranking it up a notch. While you’re still tasked with hitting markers in time with the music that’s playing, it’s a lot more nuanced than most other rhythm games.
The main draw of this game is the sheer amount of variety in it. The markers will fly onto the screen toward a line, and you need to tap on the screen when it makes contact. The thing is that, during the level, the line will move from one spot to another and split up into four lines at random times, and that adds to the challenge.
What’s more, is that there are no in-app purchases in this game. All of the content that you unlock in the game can be achieved by just playing it.
Lyrica
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: $0.99 – $3.99
- Size: 463MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.4 stars out of 5
Lyrica adds a creative spin to the rhythm game genre. Rather than hitting markers as they approach the screen, the markers are represented as circles on the screen. You’ll then see a pointer move toward the circles, and it will make contact with the makers in time with the music. The game is called Lyrica because the circles have text in them, and the text represents the lyrics in the song.
There are different types of markers. Most markers only require you to tap when the pointer hits them, but there are ones that you hold down, and some that you swipe. It’s an interesting take on the rhythm game genre, and it’s a good way to hear some nice music.
Pianista
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: $0.99 – $89.99
- Size: 71MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.0 stars out of 5
Pianista is a game made for experienced rhythm game players. As with most other rhythm games, you’ll need to hit the markers in time with the music. What makes this game challenging is that there are six lanes for markers to travel.
As the name suggests, all of the songs are piano pieces. This is a change of pace compared to other games. What also makes this game different is the selection of classical music that you’ll play.
My Music Tower
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: $0.99 – $26.99
- Size: 121MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.3 stars out of 5
If you remember “Don’t Tap The White Tile”, then you should feel right at home with this game. My Music Tower takes the same gameplay mechanics from the piano tiles games and adds its own unique spin to it.
Tiles will rush toward the bottom of the screen and you have to tap them, but this isn’t like your typical rhythm game; if you miss a tile, the round is over. As you progress through the game, you’ll slowly build up a tower with different rooms.
RhythmStar
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: $0.99 – $89.99
- Size: 102MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.4 stars out of 5
RhythmStar is probably the cutest game on this list, and that adds to the overall charm. Like with most other rhythm games, you need to hit the markers as they travel down the lanes. As you progress, you’ll unlock levels with more lanes- there are up to six lanes.
There are some original works in this game, but the majority of the tracks in this game are arrangements of classical pieces. They’ve been given a modern twist, but they’re all still recognizable and fun to listen to.
Lanota
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: $0.99 – $19.99
- Size: 434MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.6 stars out of 5
Lanota strives to differentiate itself from the other rhythm games on the market. It has a bit of an anime feel, and it starts off heavy on story and character development. In the beginning, it starts to feel like you’re about to play an RPG rather than a music game.
As for the actual rounds, it’s really different from other rhythm games. For starters, the levels are in the shape of a circle, and the notes emanating from the center. You still need to hit them notes in time with the music to earn points. There are some notes that you need to swipe up and some that you swipe down, which is pretty creative. Along with that, there are the notes that swipe across and hold down.
Cytoid
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: No
- Size: 250MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5
This is a really unique rhythm game. You’re still hitting markers in time with the song, but they’re not traveling toward you. Instead, they’re in the form of dots on the screen that you need to hit.
There are a ton of ways that you can interact with the markers, making the game much more challenging when you get to higher levels. This is definitely a must-have game if you’re looking for a challenge.
Singing Monsters: Dawn Of Fire
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: $0.99 – $99.99
- Size: 101MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.6 stars out of 5
My Singing Monsters has been around for 10 years now, and the game is still a pretty popular title. Now, we have My Singing Monsters: Dawn of Fire. This is the prequel to the original game, and it’s set in the prehistoric ages. With this game, the gameplay is pretty much the same, but the music you’re crafting is different.
Your main goal is to gradually build a song using the monsters. Each monster that you place sings/plays certain parts in the song. It could be the bass, vocals, harmony, melody, percussion, etc. You gain monsters by breeding them and by buying them using coins. Buying them is faster than breeding. However, if you want to breed faster, you can use the diamonds.
Kalpa
- Download Cost: Free
- In-App Cost: $0.99 – $29.99
- Size: 831MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5
Kalpa is a fairly standard rhythm game, and there’s not much to offer in terms of innovation. You hit the markers as they approach the bottom of the screen to earn points. That’s the name of the game.
The main draw for this game would be the music. This music in Kalpa is on the heavier side including a lot of electronic music. It’s fast-paced and sure to get your energy up. If you’re looking for a fun game to pass the time, then Kalpa would be a good choice.
