Bula Beat: a rhythm game played on a bar top

Tap shells, hold pours and toast to original kava bar songs in our new rhythm game. On Android now, and coming to iPhone with the next update.

The Bula Beat song picker with swipeable song covers and a Play bar

Say hello to Bula Beat, a rhythm game played on a bar top, set to original kava bar songs.

Android players can play it now. On iPhone, it arrives with the next app update.

Pick a song

The song picker opens on swipeable covers. Kava songs sit right on top, and real bars each have their own album behind a storefront banner. There are more than 50 songs so far, with albums for WLVS DEN, The Chill Room, Elixir Lounge, Tribe Tea and Makana. Pick your kava strength: Mild, Regular or Strong.

Play the bar

Notes slide down the bar toward your thumbs. Tap shells, swipe when a note calls for it, hold pours while the tanoa fills and hit two shells at once for a toast. Golden shells fill the meter for Bula Mode, which doubles your score for 10 seconds. Keep an eye on the crowd: miss too much and they walk out. If you'd rather just play, No fail is in Settings.

The song's real bar is your stage, and BULA RUSH regulars show up to react to how you play.
