Bullet Beat: Musical Shootem up can be very well described as a classic scrolling shooter. The entire video game industry actually started with games like these, but this project is fairly new and promises to bring in some fresh elements for the genre. The main thing here is good reaction and a sense of rhythm, because everything is tied to the musical accompaniment.Music is a key element of Bullet Beat, because the system automatically generates different levels based on it. If you want easier gameplay, you need to put on a slow and smooth melody; if you like hardcore, then a hard rock composition will do. Several melodies are available immediately in the menu, and by selecting them, the gamer will receive pre-designed levels for which the music was specially selected. It is also worth noting the simple but recognizable angular design of locations, obstacles, bullets and a flying ship that you have to control.This shoot’em up promises several gameplay features:
- 8 specially created levels of varying difficulty with music that matches the dynamics.
- The ability to control the mouse, keyboard and gamepad.
- Several game modes: from easy and calm to incredibly difficult and hardcore.
- A particularly hellish mode called Fortress Defense. It is endless and will continue until the gamer makes a mistake.
- Point collection system. If you play cleanly, you can knock out huge streaks of destroyed opponents, while the intensity of the shelling and the melody will only constantly increase.
