About BeatShips

Cruise through the beat of each song while destroying enemy ships.

BeatShips is a rhythm based shoot 'em up in which your ship shoots to the beat of the song. Earn maximum score by destroying all enemies and trying not to let them pass you by, but be careful, since some are tough to defeat or have special abilities that can harm you from afar.

Play the official levels or load your favourite songs into the level editor to create your own. You can even decide what types of caves and particles will be used to set the mood of the level.

  • Create your own levels using the built-in Level Editor.
  • Download community levels to extend the gameplay
  • Import your own music
  • Unlock new ships and skins

Played just a bit but honestly pretty damn fun. Looks like it would definitely benefit from more people playing it so you can expand your music catalogue or make your own. A level auto-generation would be awesome though, probably the only thing it lacks because the game looks awesome down to the menus.

I love this game, and I'm happy to have found it! It's super fun, an very challenging. The music is amazing, and the way you fight the enemies is fun! Though, I do wish there was a way to change it so you move on the beat and shoot off-beat instead of shooting on the beat and moving off-beat. The off-beat movement does not feel natural to me, and I always end up moving ON the beat, resulting in my shots missing half the time.

Игра 'BeatShips' - это взрывная смесь ритм-игры и shoot 'em up, которая затягивает с первых секунд. Простой, но увлекательный геймплей: вы управляете кораблем, отстреливаетесь от приближающихся врагов в такт музыке. Визуальный стиль яркий и динамичный, отлично сочетается с энергичной музыкой в жанре EDM, которая генерируется процедурно, делая каждое прохождение уникальным. Сложность постепенно нарастает, требуя от игрока хорошей реакции и чувства ритма. Разнообразие кораблей с различными характеристиками и видов оружия добавляет глубины и реиграбельности. Единственный минус - иногда визуальный шум может немного отвлекать от геймплея, но это быстро забывается благодаря общему динамизму и драйву. Если вы любите ритм-игры и shoot 'em up, 'BeatShips' - обязательное приобретение. Рекомендую!

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
