How it feels

A fast-paced, rhythm-based arcade game where you must keep the beat flowing through increasingly frantic patterns.

What players say

Players say BIT.TRIP BEAT turns Pong into a music game, but the default mouse controls frustrate many and the difficulty spikes hard after the first few levels. Levels are long and can't be practiced in sections, and 100% completion is considered brutal without slowdown software.
