Welcome to BEAT BASH!

Prepare yourself for the endless onslaught of enemies and use your wit, speed, and brute force to bash each to the beat of the song.

At the start of your adventure you'll be thrust into a 16 beat loop divided into 3 phases: Draw, Prepare and Action

  • Draw: Cards (runes) are added to your hand at random
  • Prepare: Slot your cards in the action spaces strategically
  • Action: Combat takes place and your slotted runes are pit against the enemy's 


How to Play:

Use your mouse to choose and place your runes in order to kill your enemies before they kill you!

  • There are 3 categories of runes you can place each with their own values and features:
    • Attack ( physical or  spell )   
    • Defend ( physical or  spell )  
    • Special (stun, heal, or additional draw   )
  • Be careful - only blocks    and       can only block 


  • New runes will be drawn at the start of each round of battle
  • Drag and drop the runes from your hand to one of your four action slots
  • Runes placed in your action slot can be replaced by new runes in your hand
  • Is your hand full of useless runes? Throw them in the trash to make room for more!



THE SHOP:

  • You earn gold by defeating enemies.
  • Between battles you'll get a brief chance to check out the shop.
  • Buy new and more powerful runes to add to your deck. 
  • For a small fee you can also choose to fully heal yourself.




Check out your progress at the top of the screen and brace yourself for the boss fight at the end of the loop.

How many loops can you manage before succumbing to defeat?

A really cool game! Love the art and music design. The simple mechanics keep it from getting over complicated but provide enough need for strategic thinking. For a better difficulty curve, I wonder if having the cost to heal at the shop increase slightly each time you buy it might help. Otherwise, a really promising game concept.
