This is my first project in Pico-8!

Beat Box is a simple, one-button arcade rhythm game in which you move by tapping to the beat!

The blinking arrows control the direction you move - press on the beat to move up and down, and on the offbeat to move left and right. You can string these together to move diagonally or back and forth in a single beat!

Navigate around the grid and weave around the Rhythmonsters and Lasers while collecting the orbs to increase your score!

This game was inspired by the Rhythmove Dungeon mini-game from Rhythm Heaven DS. The song is a rendition of Let's Practice from Rhythm Heaven DS.

I hope you enjoy!

nice cart! planning out rhythms to get the desired movement is a fun challenge, and the timing feels very accurate. managed to get 3000 points, but i fall apart when the lasers start.

cool, but I can't figure out how to exit the options menu.

Hey, could you provide me with a link to the music? I'll even pay for it (up to $10, unless you are British, I'm American and can't pay in currency other then USD)

Definitely getting the Rhythm Heaven vibes from this! That was one of my favorites on the DS :D I've only gotten 1500 so far. Super fun!

It's pretty good but if you maybe lower the beat it could be easier. It's kinda like A dance of Fire and Ice with the way this plays.

I like it. Took a while to get used to the tempo, but I eventually got into the flow. Catchy tune too.
