Gameplay[]

Players control a young boy (sometimes confused as a girl by fandom) named Tempo as he travels through automatically scrolling levels. The aim of each level is to gather as many notes as possible, either found throughout the level or earned by hitting enemies and objects corresponding with the rhythm of the music. Getting hit by an enemy or an obstacle will cause him to lose a heart, failing the level if he loses all his hearts. There are also bonus stages that feature music from Game Freak's other series, Pokémon.

European version

HarmoKnight combines side-scrolling platforming with rhythm-action gameplay to create an exciting and colourful experience. Each stage has a musical track that must be used as a guide to perform specific moves such as hitting enemies, jumping gaps and striking musical plants in the background. Thanks to the game's intuitive two-button control system, picking up the basics is really simple...but that doesn't mean that saving Princess Ariana from the Noizoids is going to be easy!
