About Indie Heardle
What is Indie Heardle?
Indie Heardle is a free music quiz in the browser, inspired by Heardle: you hear 1 s of a indie game track and guess the game, with longer clips if you need them. Every day brings a new daily challenge, the same for everyone, plus a 30-level quest and unlimited free play.
How to play Indie Heardle
- Press play to hear 1 s of a track.
- Type the game. Not sure? Unlock a longer clip (1 s, 3 s, 6 s and 12 s).
- Points: 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 depending on how much you listened, +2 more if you type the track title straight away.
- You start with 3 hearts and lose one per mistake.
Free play has several modes: Classic, Sudden death (one heart), Time attack (90 seconds), Reverse (find the right clip among three) and Single game. Correct answers in a row build a combo, and the best scores go on the leaderboard.
The music of indie games
Often written by a single person, indie game music has marked a generation: C418 on Minecraft, Christopher Larkin on Hollow Knight, Darren Korb on Bastion and Hades, ConcernedApe on Stardew Valley, Lena Raine on Celeste or Kristofer Maddigan and his big band on Cuphead. Undertale has a universe of its own, with Deltarune.
