Quest — 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 the Indie Heardle quest works

The quest is a 30-level pass whose challenges rotate between game modes. You get one try a day, plus one if you beat the daily challenge, and every few levels unlock XP and cosmetics.

Three cups can also be played without limit: Novice (5 well-known tracks, 3 hearts), Veteran (8 tracks, clip shifted by 20 s, 2 hearts) and Final Boss (5 rare tracks, clip shifted by 15 s, 1 heart).

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.
