What is Beat Blast?

This single-player, top-down roguelite takes place in the MIDIverse, a virus-ridden realm where music takes physical form. You dodge projectiles, fight bosses, and unlock items across runs, combining abilities and editing a looping beat at any time as you try to escape.

Not for you if...

−you prefer forgiving combat without demanding aiming and dodging
