About the Game

BauHouse is a rhythm-driven bullet hell where energetic music creates and drives obstacles.

Every obstacle you see is generated and controlled by the structure of  the music. Kicks, snares, synths and other stems shape patterns, motion, and intensity. What you hear is what you see and vice versa.

You control a simple block. Move to dodge obstacles. Dash to pass through them at the right moment.

The game is built around a strict set of visual and gameplay rules inspired by Bauhaus design:

  • Clean geometry

  • Minimal color palettes

  • Readable, structured patterns

Even at high intensity, everything remains intentional and readable.

Each level is a composition.

Music is split into elements, and each element drives a different type of obstacle. As the track evolves, so does the space around you. Calm sections give room to breathe. Drops compress the playfield into tight, high-pressure sequences.

Difficulty is not scripted — it emerges from the music.

Key Features

  • Music-driven gameplay
    Every obstacle is directly tied to the audio.

  • Dash through obstacles
    Precise timing lets you pass through obstacles instead of avoiding them.

  • Readable chaos
    Minimalist visuals and strict rules keep even complex patterns understandable.

  • System-driven levels
    Levels are built from compositions, not hand-scripted sequences.
