Air Keys Rush

Goal of the game

In Air Keys Rush you play with your hand in front of the camera. Glowing piano keys slide down four lanes. Move your finger left or right to choose a lane (it lights up), then FIST when a tile reaches the golden line. Perfect timing scores more and builds a combo; the dancing pets go wild on long combos.

A tile that passes the line costs a life. The song speeds up as you go. Power-ups drop between tiles — touch them with your finger: Slow-Mo, Double Points and Extra Life.

Tips and strategy

• Don't chase every pickup in Air Keys Rush — grab only the ones on your safe path.
• Rhythm matters in Air Keys Rush: watch one full cycle before you act, then act on the beat.
• Save your focus for the moment a Freeze or Slow-Mo starts — that is when Air Keys Rush gives you free points.
• Good, even lighting from the front makes tracking in Air Keys Rush far more reliable than a bright window behind you.
• Replay Air Keys Rush a few times: each run teaches you the patterns, and scores usually double after the first five games.

Device requirements and privacy

Air Keys Rush needs a device with a front or web camera (any recent Android phone, iPhone, laptop or Chromebook) and works best in Chrome, Edge or Safari. Allow camera access when asked; hand tracking runs entirely on your device with Google MediaPipe, and no video ever leaves it. It is free to play; free players may see a short ad between rounds (never during play), and Premium removes all ads.
