FROM THE SCHOOL YARDS OF GHANA

Read her head.
Read her leg.
Deny her.

Ampe is the clap-and-jump game every Ghanaian child knows. Ampe Rush turns it into an endless reaction game: one glance at her head sign, one glance at her kick, one tap. Then faster. Then faster small small.

THE COMPOUND
The challenger, clapping to the beat

= SAME SAME → tap the other foot · ≠ NOT SAME → copy her foot

HOW TO PLAY

Two rules. One tap. No mercy.

Her head sign says what she wants. Her kick shows which foot. Your job is to make sure she doesn’t get it.

SAME SAME

She wants you to match her. Tap the other foot.

She kicks LEFTYou tap RIGHT

NOT SAME

She wants you to miss. Copy her foot.

  1. 01

    Watch the clap

    Every challenger claps to the beat before she shows her leg. Feel the rhythm and you’re already halfway there.

  2. 02

    Wait for the zone

    Her leg only counts inside the white kick zone. Tap too early and she switches on you. Fake kicks come later, so stay sharp.

  3. 03

    Ride the combo

    Clean reads stack your multiplier. Three hearts, five stages, and a champion waiting at the end of each one.

From the compound to the Nationals.

The beat climbs from 96 to 128 BPM as you go. Every stage has its own sky, its own crowd and its own champion.

WHAT IS AMPE?

Clap. Jump. Kick. The game of every compound.

Two players clap, jump and throw out a foot on the same beat. One leads; the other has to read her in a heartbeat. It’s played in school yards and compounds all over Ghana, mostly by girls, and by everybody eventually.

Ampe Rush keeps the clap, the beat and the call, and turns them into a speed test you can carry in your pocket. The music is synthesised live inside the game, the art is drawn in code, and every challenger dances to the beat.
