Keybloom

Keybloom is a virtual piano that runs in your browser. It is a music toy, not a scored game: pick a mode, click the keys and play.

How to play

1. On the start screen press Mode 1 or Mode 2.
2. Click or tap the white and black keys to play them.
3. Use the four buttons in the top bar to change the sound set. In Mode 2 the button you press turns pink.
4. Drag the sliders at the left and right of the bar: one changes how wide the keys are, the other moves the keyboard sideways.

The two modes

• Mode 1: a wooden-looking panel with a loop-style button, three numbered buttons (I, II, III) and two sliders.
• Mode 2: a red panel with an infinity button and three buttons with wave shapes, plus two sliders.

What you see on screen

• Start screen: the Keybloom title and two bars, Mode 1 and Mode 2.
• Keyboard: large white and black keys that fill the width of the screen, ten white keys at a time in our 1280 pixel test.
• Top bar: the buttons and the two sliders.

Tips

• Drag the right slider to the left to make the keys wider: in our test the key width went from 128 to 256 pixels, so five keys fit instead of ten.
• Drag the left slider to move along the keyboard without changing the key size.
• Try Mode 2 when you want a different panel: its buttons light up pink as you press them.
• There is no keyboard shortcut for playing, so use the mouse or your finger.
• Read our virtual piano tips for the measurements behind these tips.

Frequently asked questions

Is Keybloom a game?

It is a toy rather than a scored game. There are no points, levels or timers; you simply play the keys.

How many keys can I see at once?

Ten white keys at the default size on a 1280 pixel wide screen, and five after you drag the right slider all the way to the left.

What is the difference between Mode 1 and Mode 2?

Mode 1 uses a wooden-looking panel with numbered buttons; Mode 2 uses a red panel with wave-shaped buttons that light up pink.

Can I play with the computer keyboard?

No. The keys are played with the mouse or by touch.

Does it work on a phone?

See the note under the game: we only claim what we tested on a phone-sized screen.

Is Keybloom free?

Yes. You can play it in your browser on Yes This Game with no download and no sign-up.
