About Arclight Beat

Arclight Beat is a minimalistic rhythm-based 3D platformer in which you control various level elements by modifying the music.

Jump and control the world at the rhythm of the beat in order to beat challenging music-inspired levels in this charming mix of platforming and puzzles! Create a custom soundtrack by placing beats in different spots and watch as the world adapts to the music. Rearrange the beat mixer, run and jump in order to reach the end!
  • 20 levels with 4 different music themes
  • Rhythm-based 3d platforming
  • Engaging puzzles
  • 4 bonus scrolling levels

This game was developed as a student project at DigiPen Institute of Technology Europe - Bilbao and was created for educational purposes only. Please check out our publisher page for more information.

Fun game for first 15-20 minutes but gets old way too quickly. Stuff like this is more suitable to be played in the toilet on a cell phone with high score basis. At least you can charge all those grandmas and grandpas for spamming ads between every levels.

Very interesting concept, but, aside from the slippery surface not so implemented, I think that for the main levels it would be more thrilling and rythm-inducing an automatic change of rythm at every checkpoint instead of a manual trial and error or to be like the bonus levels without the imminent death putting pressure. P.s.: World 2 was for the most levels the best part
Not recommended Jun 5, 2024
More of a puzzle platformer than rhythm game. Camera angle is clunky and movement sluggish but game works as advertised and is decently fun until later levels.
