About This Game

Fight to the beat

Slap, pulse and slam in time with the music. Your attacks follow the rhythm of each track, and so do the enemies trying to stop you.

Move like you mean it

Slide down walls, grind rails, swing on your grapple, walk tightropes and glide over the rooftops. Every level is built to keep you moving.

A bat, two cannons and a city that never sleeps

Metronopolis never sleeps. Ever since Mayor Metrognome took office, the whole city moves to his beat: streets, shops and citizens dance day and night, the party is compulsory, and between one ad for Metrognome INC and the next, the NPM news assures everyone that all is well.

Spanky has heard enough. Short-tempered, sarcastic and far too clever for his own good, this bat has spent days listening to the racket through a very large pair of ears. So he builds the Spanktron 3001, a pair of audio reversal cannons, one for each ear, and sets off to return the noise to sender.

The road to Metrotower runs through Morguetone, a graveyard district where the dead party harder than the living, and Bluevines, a jungle of exotic animals, opera and enormous egos. On the way you'll meet a skeleton who has mislaid his bones, a DJ spider who runs his club from a mausoleum and a maestro who is sure the world is his stage. Everyone has a song to sing. Spanky just wants them to stop.

Bosses with terrible taste in music

Crash the show of "DJ" Cobweb, face the opera-loving Bonobotti, chase Owlivia among the rooftops and go after Mayor Metrognome himself, in fights with multiple phases.

Your groove, your rules

Choose from four difficulty levels, including Baby Bat, which drops the timing requirement. Hunt vinyls, unlock skins and climb the leaderboards.

A cast with plenty to say

Between one beat and the next, Spanky trades barbs with whoever crosses his path: Boxy, the TV that never stops talking, Marrow the Trombone, a skeleton who lives for his instrument, and "DJ" Cobweb, a spider with too many arms and just as many opinions.

Dress for the occasion

Spend your coins at Spanky's workbench: new ears, body and shoes, previewed live on him before you buy.
