How To Play
BeatRoot got bullied by his root neighbour, so he uproot himself and start punching along the beats!

THE 7th BEAT!

At the 7th beat, you will drain nutrients from the tile to attack.

Enemies will also move and shoot towards you.



MOVE & SURVIVE!

You can move around freely unlike the enemies, survive and attack enemies to score points!

ATTACK TILES!

Each tile will grants him different attacks.

Vertical, Horizontal, Circle punch, You name it!



REGROWTH!

Drained tiles will regrow in a few seconds.



Good luck, and don't get beaten!

I really like the theme and branding. It took me a few tries to get used to it but once I got into the flow I was really feeling it. Feels well balanced in terms of gameplay systems and it's a nicely distilled rhythm game experience. One minor polish thing would be some more sounds/feedback on death, that part feels a little disconnected to me right now.

Very cute, I feel like either it being speed up or what Gerban said would be a wonderful addition!

This is great fun! Good pun about beet roots too. I wonder if you could limit the player movement to the beat of the music, just for flair.

Appreciated your comment. :D And we REALLY do wanted to make it a mobile version!, let's see if we have time to do so.

About the beats, we can't find sound designers so one of our game designer decided to do the beats himself. (HE HAS NO CLUE WHAT TO DO, so funny haha)
