Build your scene
Level your main venue from garage to arena. Fill your lots with a Music School, Merch Stand, Gear Locker and more. There's always one more building than lots, so every town ends up with its own style.
Grow your home town's music scene, train a crew of fans and send your band to battles of the bands to win over rival towns. A light multiplayer strategy game you play in a few minutes, a few times a day. Your town keeps playing while you're away.

It plays like the classic browser strategy games: build, gather, attack, ally. But it's paced like an idle game, so there's always something finished waiting when you come back.
Level your main venue from garage to arena. Fill your lots with a Music School, Merch Stand, Gear Locker and more. There's always one more building than lots, so every town ends up with its own style.
Gear up your band and train a crew of fans: Moshers, Security, Roadies and Hype Crew. Next up: collectible rockstars with their own styles, likes and chemistry, combined into lineups.
Send your band on tour to rival towns, camps and silent towns. Attacks are gigs and your army is your fans. You don't destroy towns: you win their crowd and bring the loot home.




Every rockstar has a role, a signature move and things they love. Put night owls together and they play tighter. Put a night owl next to an early bird and, well, you'll hear it.

5 STAR · SEASON 1When your tour arrives, your band plays a three-song set against theirs. Your Moshers and your band's performance push the crowd your way; their Security and home crowd push back. Every song has a little luck in it, so the stronger band usually wins, but never always.

The battle report reads like a gig: the setlist, a crowd meter per song, mishaps and moments, loot, fans won and who's resting.
A snapped string. Forgotten sticks. A lost voice. A blown fuse. Any song can go sideways.
Spare strings, sticks taped to the hands, tea and honey, spare fuses, gaffer tape, a laminated setlist. The right item cancels a mishap.
A perfect solo, a stage dive that lands, a chorus the whole room sings. Charisma makes them more likely.
Lost units mostly burn out and rest in your Green Room, and many come back. You always keep something.
Headliner is built so that picking on smaller players is pointless. Climb by playing people your size.
