URLX is a rhythm game played in your browser's address bar. Hit upcoming notes by pressing their respective arrows,
using the arrow keys and spacebar. Mobile is currently not supported.

Please note that this game is still in alpha! There is no proper way to play levels aside from through the editor.
More features will come soon! (scoring, difficulty modes, menus, etc)

Feedback

Welcome to URLX!

URLX is a rhythm game playable in your browser's address bar! (look up)

It works similarly to most rhythm games, where arrows scroll by on the address bar and you have to press their respective key. Some notes may require you to press the spacebar, or multiple buttons at once.

Please note that this game is still in early alpha! Only the editor is released as of right now, proper menus and gameplay modes will come later.

To make a chart, click on a square in the editor and then press an arrow key (or space) to place a note. Each rectangle represents one beat, and you can adjust the amount of squares they are subdivided into. You can also place notes in real time while playing the chart, by pressing arrows while holding CTRL.

If you have any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or even charts, I encourage you to share them with me on Twitter.

Mobile user spotted!

Unfortunately, URLX does not have proper support for mobile yet. This is something I hope to pull off later in development, but for now all you'll be able to do is look around the editor UI. Oh well.

Load Chart

Blank Chart

Loads a blank chart with no song.

Folder

Loads a chart from a folder containing both a song and a .urlx chart for it.

(fastest and most convenient, but only supported by modern browsers)

File

Loads a chart from a compressed .urlzip file or a .urlx chart with no song.

(supported by most browsers, but slower since the song and chart need to be unzipped)

Load from Rhythm Game (experimental)

Game Import

Import a chart from another rhythm game with a level editor that's hopefully more polished. Expect bugs!

More games coming soon™ (maybe)

Amogus import
