DownBeat

Help Beat Boy save a world where harmony has been broken by recovering the 4 elemental shards!

Controls

Control Beat Boy throughout the 4 levels with the left & right / AD keys and jump with Spacebar.

There are 3 types of jumping in DownBeat:

Down Beat Jump: The world will push you up to the beat of the music at a medium height.

High Jump: Pressing Spacebar on time with the down beat will result in a higher jump.

Low Jump: Jumping on an offbeat will give you a smaller jump, but you still have to be synced with the music!
