About the Game

In Beat Bulwark, the world is connected to pulse - which has begun to fade.

Journey to the heart of the world to restore it by ending the corruption in this

short, difficult, rhythm-based action platformer.

  • Jump and fight to the beat through challenging handcrafted levels

    • Most actions are locked to the beat of the music, which shifts based on

      your performance

      • Visual and haptic cues (controller recommended) help to find the flow

        and keep it

    • Enemies and the environment also move to the beat, so planning your

      course of action is key!

  • Gain new, exciting abilities as you progress toward the heart

  • Replay previous levels to attempt to improve your fastest time

  • Reach the heart and renew the pulse!
