Tung Tung Tung Sahur

Tung Tung Tung Sahur is a rhythm-action game wrapped in cultural tradition, powered by joy, mischief, and the sounds of a neighborhood stirring before dawn. You play as the sahur drummer—the lone guardian of morning meals during Ramadan—tasked with waking your community before sunrise. But this isn’t a simple alarm clock simulator. It’s a chaotic blend of timing, social awareness, and dodging flying slippers in the dark.

Whether you play it for laughs, rhythm mastery, or cultural appreciation, the game hits a sweet spot rarely explored: the intersection of tradition and absurdity.

A Beat That Walks the Streets

Each level places you in a new district with its own unique rhythm, visual quirks, and temperamental residents. You walk the streets in the pre-dawn quiet, banging your drum to a rhythm that grows more complex with each step. The better your timing, the more windows light up in appreciation. Miss too many beats? You’ll wake up the wrong people—and their response is rarely kind.

Progression isn’t linear—it’s musical. Streets open up only if you can find the beat, match the tempo, and adapt to unexpected moments: barking dogs, sudden rain, nosy neighbors, or blackout zones that force you to drum from memory.

Respect, Mischief, and Grandma’s Broom

You’re not the only character in this game with agency. The people of the neighborhood react dynamically to your performance. Some lean out the window to cheer. Others yell at you to shut up. And one or two might chase you down for waking their baby. The better you get, the more the game encourages creative risk-taking—speed runs, beat tricks, even duels with rival drummers.

But don’t get cocky. The fastest way to lose is by forgetting that every house has a personality. Some doors never open. Some open too fast. And others? Let’s just say if you hear the broom squeak, it’s already too late.

A Cultural Celebration Disguised as a Game

Tung Tung Tung Sahur is deeply rooted in Southeast Asian Ramadan tradition—but it’s not a history lesson. It’s a playable ritual. The visuals are hand-drawn and warm, full of everyday detail: clotheslines, dim street lamps, cats on fences. The soundtrack mixes traditional drum patterns with playful melodies, giving each neighborhood a vibe you’ll remember long after finishing the level.

It respects its roots without being stiff, and it invites players from all backgrounds to participate in something that feels both local and universal.

You won’t just remember the beats. You’ll remember the streetlights. The shadows. The moment when, after the last perfect rhythm combo, the whole block lights up like a quiet thank-you.
