Games Tinikling

Tinikling

Hop between the clapping bamboo poles to rondalla music. A Filipino folk-dance rhythm game.

Dance the Philippine tinikling: bamboo poles tap-tap-CLAP in 3/4 time and you hop IN between them and OUT before they close. Twelve levels from slow to blazing fast, turns and crossing steps, a second pair of poles, an endless mode, unlockable barong and baro’t saya outfits, two-player mode on one screen, plus a gentle kids mode and a baby tap mode. Music is an original rondalla band with Dandansoy and Ili-ili.

How to play

  1. Watch the footprints: tap the left side to hop IN, the right side to hop OUT.
  2. Hop in on the first two beats, out before the poles CLAP on beat three.
  3. Turns and crosses add half-beat steps: dance them for more stars.
  4. Keys: F or ← for IN, J or → for OUT.
