Bellgrove

Bellgrove is a gentle rhythm-tiles game set in the glass winter garden of an old Mediterranean villa. Clay lemons, olives, pomegranates and little bronze bells roll down the aisles toward a bronze rail, and every tile you tap in time sings one note of the melody. There is one twist: the sun in the glass roof keeps changing colour, and the garden only sings in its own light. You play a quiet scholar who has come to study how the garden sounds. Old Theon, the keeper, greets you by the wave-mosaic fireplace and asks what you would like to do today. Your replies are the menu: open a songbook, play freely, take on the morning tune, look at your collection or hear about the garden. Pick a melody, ring the first tile on the rail, and the tune begins. KEY FEATURES ✓ 64 original melodies in eight songbooks, from slow morning airs at 80 beats a minute to quick winter reels at 160 ✓ The sun rule — tap only tiles in the colour of the sun (olive, pomegranate or lemon) and let the others roll past; a needless tap sours the note ✓ Four to six lanes, with the sun turning more often in later songbooks: every eight bars at first, then every four, then every two ✓ One to three stars for each melody at 70%, 85% and 95% accuracy, plus three encores, each 15% faster than the last ✓ The Morning Tune — one melody a day with a quicker sun and a streak calendar ✓ Free Play — no rules and no misses, every tile you touch sings ✓ The Lyre Desk — write your own tune: lanes, tempo, sun colours per phrase and every tile ✓ The Potter's Stall — spend the stars you earned on twelve tile glazes and six bell voices ✓ Garden Prints — eight postcards of the garden and 32 clay figurines to collect ✓ Theon's Wax Tablets — your accuracy by colour and by tempo, your recent runs and your songbook progress HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a melody from one of Theon's songbooks. 2. Ring the glowing first tile on the bronze rail to start the tune. 3. Watch the sun in the roof and tap only the tiles that match it, right as they reach the rail. 4. Let the off-colour tiles pass; every one you leave alone counts toward your accuracy. 5. Earn stars, open the next melody and the next songbook, and try the encore at a braver pace. WHY BELLGROVE Every part of the garden was made for this game: soft clay renders of fruit, bells, palms and terracotta pots, bell voices synthesised from scratch, and melodies composed for the eight songbooks. The tone is light and unhurried. There are no timers ticking away your session, no lives to lose, and nothing to buy: stars are earned only by playing, and spending them at the stall never closes a melody. Settings let you turn the sound and vibration on or off, set the volume and adjust tap timing if your taps feel early or late. PRIVACY Bellgrove works fully offline. It has no account, no ads and no in-app purchases, and your progress stays on your device. Step into the glass house, ring the first tile, and let the garden sing.
