About Poly Beats

A NEW CONTENDER TO THE RHYTHM GAME SPACE

Welcome to Poly Beats, a 5K Rhythm Game that's all about showing yourself if you're ready to handle a new type of rhythm game. And don't yawn yet - it's not your bog-standard mania game. This is hands down the coolest 5K rhythm game around (maybe, most likely… probably. uh-)

"WHAT EVEN IS A 5K RHYTHM GAME?"

Glad you asked. Well, a rhythm game is a game where you do something to the beat, or, rhythm of the music, and your goal is to stay as accurate as possible with your timing.
In our case, our game is 5K, which means you have 5 inputs that could be tested for that accuracy at any given moment in a song. Usually, other games only hit for 4K or 7K (no idea why they pick 7 though. That's such an odd number.)

CUSTOMIZE… EVERYTHING?!

We were all about making Poly Beats tailor to you, from the start. Personalize your game with custom keybinds, maps, colors, and note effects. But we're not stopping there – visit the Poly Beats Marketplace, our implementation of the Steam Workshop - where players worldwide can effortlessly share and access custom maps and themes.

STREAM!

For our casual players, we've got something special – Stream! Our in-house decoration system & runtime, that lets map creators go wild with decorations like shapes, light rays, and custom shaders! Plus, it's super easy with our in-game Decoration Editor.

INNOVATIVE GAMEMODES

Check out our 'Rags To Riches' gamemode. It's an asynchronous multiplayer mode where you can receive maps from other players to be better than them at, or to send and see who's really the better player at Poly Beats. It's ranked, by the way - so you can move up ranks, scaling from Trisa to Octa. Are you good enough? :p
TUNE PACKS + ARTIST COLLABSWe want to actually consistently give songs to our community, unlike another game... where you rely on only the community after the tutorial. We intend to make official OSTs for all our players who regularly want new challenges, and make sure to keep an eye on the ‘Extras’ pack, as this is updated regularly! <3 We're not just about our songs – we collaborate with other artists too! Get ready for diverse tune packs, and don't worry, we won't make you go broke.

GENEROUS REVENUE MODEL

Best part? Poly Beats is free! Enjoy base game content, customizations, and maps without spending a dime. But if you wanna support us, or have more content at your disposal, you can get our supporter tier - Encore Support, which also comes with some super neat perks at your disposal, and some Tune Pack DLCs that'll be with you soon. <3

GET IT NOW, FOOL

Thanks for reading about our game! If you made it this far, I'm sure you wanna play… so what are you waiting for? Wishlist this thing, and we'll catch you on release day! :)

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branchPC

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Games like Subnautica, where the map opens when you earn it

Games like Subnautica that keep the depth gate: a wall you cannot pass, a workbench, and more map opening only once the equipment does.
