Frequently asked
How do I unlock the next plaza?
Reach five stars total in a plaza's set list to unlock the next one, in order: Plaza de Armas, Paseo Ahumada, Cerro Alegre, the Fiestas Patrias fonda, then Barrio Lastarria.
How does the foot cymbal work?
Press and hold the band across the bottom of the screen for as long as the cymbal note lasts — releasing early or late costs accuracy, the same as the mallets.
What is a vuelta and how do I play it?
When a spin ring appears, trace one full circle anywhere on the screen in time with the beat. It doesn't matter where on the screen you draw it, only that it completes on time.
What do coins buy?
Coins only buy cosmetics in the Bombo tab — drum paints, ribbons and hats. They never affect gameplay and there is nothing to buy with real money.
Why does the camera ask for permission?
Only the Colour Mixer inside the Bombo tab uses the camera, to sample a colour for a custom drum paint. It is entirely optional and nothing is recorded or saved.
Does the game need an internet connection?
No. Vuelta de Bombo runs completely offline and all of your progress is saved on your own device.
