About this game

UPBEAT is a music-driven score-chasing arcade platformer where your drum machine builds the level beneath your feet.

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.

BUILD A BEAT

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.

UPGRADE YOUR KIT

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.

CHASE THE SCORE

The higher you climb, the faster the tempo rises. Platforms spawn quicker, timing gets tighter, and the fog below keeps pressure on every jump.
