Real places that light up

Arcade — a retro arcade at night

An empty arcade at night, where every cabinet wakes up with the music.

What Arcade shows

Arcade is built from two photographs of the same game room, lights off and lights on. Every cabinet screen shows a little game made from the album artwork, and the marquees above the machines light up on the beat.

On the drop, the whole room plays the same game at once. A nod to the 1980s, tailored for synthwave, chiptune, electro and hip-hop, that gives your living room the feel of an arcade after closing time.

Frequently asked

Questions about Arcade

What music does Arcade suit best?

Arcade is designed for chiptune, synthwave, electro, hip-hop, ideally between 100 and 160 BPM. Halofloor picks it on its own when a song suits it, and you can also force it from the console.

Is Arcade free?

Arcade is part of Halofloor’s free plan, with no time limit and no credit card. Just open the console and start your music.

Is Arcade a video?

Every frame of Arcade is computed live by your computer from the song’s analysis: tempo, energy, build-ups and drops. It never repeats from one song to the next.

What kind of TV do I need?

Any TV with an HDMI input works, smart or not. The computer renders the visuals and the TV displays them, with no app to install.

Open the console, pick your music: Halofloor does the rest.
