Beatblock (DEMO)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
SPIN TO WIN: move your paddle around to hit blocks to the beat! Taps and different block types- like mines and sides- keep things fresh.
(psst. you can alsowishlist us on Steam!)
- Groove your way through a variety of genres with both licensed and original tracks!
- Visuals use a unique 2-bit palette system that has charm without distracting from gameplay.
- A level editor to keep the fun going! Create to your heart's content.
- Planned features include: more levels, block types, song unlocks, costumes, and level editor improvements.
This current build acts as a vertical slice demo, so the difficulty gap between levels may be significant. Our full scope for this game has much more in store!

I saw a clip of this game on Youtube and searched to try it for myself. Absolutely BANGER of a game, if you enjoy OSU! and you own a computer, you need to try this game.
Since you don't have donation option and you publish this amount of content for FREE, the only way I could support you was to wish list the game on Steam.
hello. i love this game. i love rythym games and im quite good at them. but the lack of visual feedback for the taps makes it unplayable for me .... I've seen people commenting the same thing 🥹 ive been playing it for days but can't get the hang of the taps no matter how hard i try because i cant figure out if theyre actually processing or not. i cant tell if its one of my hundreds of brain issues or if im just an idiot. but it would be very nice to have this added to the game, maybe at least as an opt-in accessibility thing in the game settings
I'm a Chinese so my English is not very good.(don't be too serious to me:)
When can I(or we) use Chinese in Beatblock? I'm sure there're many Chinese Players want to see Chinese in your game. It's good for us to play the game.
And can you set up a server to save the Custom Level and the Chart Editor documentation? Most of Chinese players can't use Google and Discord. So it makes me(or us) feel bad. Of course, you can put the documentation in the game and utilize the Steam Workshop for your game(this sentence is an AI translation ).
I like Music Game very much. Like Arcaea, Phigros, ADOFAI...... So I hope you can make the game and the player community better.
Thank you very much:)

This is a game with a very bright future.
I have two suggestions - Try to adjust the keys that can activate “Tap” from “X” and “Z” to “All keys OK” (like Rhythm Doctor & A Dance of Fire and Ice)If you want, add this option to the accessibility menu!
Try to support more physical “controllers”, for example, a knob!Based on the game’s “spin to win” feature, almost anything that can spin can be used to play Beatblock! (I’ve tried to do this with a pen and my compass)
In a word, this game is very interesting - I believe it will become another excellent rhythm game in the future!
(Lawrence is too cool QAQ)
Wow, this is one heck of a rhythm game. Love the concept. Only played it for ~2 hours in multiple sessions, a few mechanics haven't fully clicked with me yet (particularly Sides), but here's my immediate two cents:
- I like feel there needs to be some kind of visual feedback for when the player taps the button, since right now it's kinda jarring to press a button and see nothing happen (particularly on the tutorial song)
- Please consider toning down Code Remix's VFX. I know there's an accessibility option for this, but this is the only song I can't play with the full VFX. I think it makes reading the chart way too difficult
- The "barely" SFX is a little too subtle imo - for example it blends in with the scratch sounds on Code Remix. It needs to stand out more and be slightly offbeat like the Rhythm Heaven doink, that way the player can immediately tell what's going on
I'll def be keeping an eye on this game :) Very very promising
