UPBEAT is a music-driven score-chasing arcade platformer where your drum-machine loops build the climb beneath your feet. Create beats, spawn bouncing platforms, upgrade your kit, and chain combos as the tempo rises to beat your friends’ high scores.
Create an 8-step loop, climb through the platforms it spawns, and change your route by changing the beat. Every drum hit affects how you move: launch upward, bounce sideways, stay airborne longer, and chain effects together.
Your beat is both the music and the level. Experiment with drum patterns, stack colours on the same beat, and find stronger ways to climb.
Start each run with a smaller drum machine and earn upgrades as you climb. Add more Kicks, Snares, and Hi-Hats to build stronger loops and push each run further.
The higher you climb, the faster the tempo rises. Platforms spawn quicker, timing gets tighter, and the fog below keeps pressure on every jump.
