Stereo BeatDown

About the Game

Stereo Beatdown is the first game I’ve developed. This prototype captures the core concept: rhythm-synced combat.

Credits

• Character Design: AnaBia (view her Instagram here).
• Soundtrack:
  • Menu, bar fight, and boss fight: Markc_Cursed (Instagram).
  • Additional tracks: Composiia (TikTok).

Prototype Details

• 3 Levels:
  1. Introduction to the game’s basic enemy.
  2. Combat with Markc’s first track.
  3. Final boss fight.
• Future Updates: The game will be refined over time.

Controls

• ESC → Pause
• WASD → Movement
• ENTER → Attack
• E → Drink Soda

Core Mechanics

• Checkpoints: Soda machines scattered throughout the environment.
• Environments: Built using itch.io tilesets.
• Rhythm Combat:
  • The protagonist becomes invulnerable to melee attacks under the sugar rush effect.
  • The effect lasts 3 seconds (current default), resetting with each enemy defeated.
  • Planned Update: The timer will sync with the music’s tempo (fast tracks = shorter timer; slow tracks = longer timer).

Story

The narrative starts at the “end”: the protagonist has gathered his enemies in a specific location to eliminate them. What led to this showdown? Uncover the story as the game evolves!
