Rock Rise: Road to Stardom

Form a band in a garage. End up headlining the planet.

ROCK RISE is a band-management sim with a real rhythm game at its heart. Write songs, build the setlist, then actually PLAY the show: tap the beat, ride the amp, survive the encore. The crowd meter is watching. So is the promoter.

PLAY THE GIG, DON'T WATCH IT Every show is a hand-played rhythm set over an original soundtrack. Hold notes, double taps, solos, and trap notes you must NOT hit. Tighter timing, bigger payout. Miss too much and the room walks out on you.

BUILD A BAND WITH OPINIONS Design every member: face, build, hair, outfit, instrument. They have quirks, chemistry, feuds and personal stories that play out between shows. Some become a legendary duo. Some stop speaking in the van.

READ THE ROOM Every venue's crowd loves one kind of song. Open on what they came for, vary the energy, close big. 44 venues, from the garage to stages far beyond Earth, each with its own crowd.

WRITE, RECORD, RELEASE 14 song vibes. Make songs yourself in the Song Studio, book studio sessions, and design your own album covers. Release singles, albums with a track-order puzzle, live albums and greatest hits, then watch them climb the charts against rival bands.

12 GENRES, EACH WITH ITS OWN SOUND Punk, metal, indie, pop, synthwave, folk, jazz, hip-hop, country, latin, reggae, or no box at all. Each has its own perk and its own music: 136 original tracks.

NO PAY-TO-WIN Purchases buy time and stamina. Never quality, never fans, never a gig outcome. You earn the good grades yourself. Optional ads can give you a free gig or song; a one-time purchase removes ads for good.
