About the Game


Are you ready to beat enemies to the rhythm of the music and get fantastic weapons? Let's go!

In Beat 'Em Down, the core mechanic is shoot to the beat by killing enemies. These enemies also perform their actions to the beat, so you have to move, jump and dash in a frenetic gameplay to survive in the song and level you choose.



Your goal is to unlock all the 5 different levels, achieving the highest possible score while you upgrade your weapon through challenges. Each playthrough is different and unique, as you can choose one of the three branches you want and upgrade it. Make your own gameplay!

Features:

  • Play and shoot to the beat.
  • Play with songs of our library or any song you want.
  • Select one of the three branches and upgrade it: the Bounce Weapon, the Zig-Zag Weapon and the Dispersion Weapon.
  • Complete challenges to the rhythm of the music.
  • Battle enemies with unique behaviours.
  • Play 5 different style levels with its own music feature.
  • 20 library songs with leaderboards.
  • Achievements.
