About This Game

Try Beatcore for free! A simple rhythm game where you hit beats as they come down the lanes. Level editor included.

Key features

🎵  A selection of 5 of the grooviest songs to try from the full version

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦  Compete locally with up to 4 people

🎮  Both keyboard and gamepads are supported simultaneously

📌  Bookmark/hide tracks

🏆  High scores for each level

❌  The level editor & workshop are not included in this version

Only have one controller?

Don't worry! Any combination of gamepads and keyboard controls can be used simultaneously, so no one is ever left out. Note that typical keyboards only permit up to 5 keystrokes at once, so the gameplay experience may deteriorate if you have too many people sharing a keyboard.

Organise your library

Bookmark the tracks you like the most, and hide the tracks you don't enjoy. No time wasted scrolling past music you don't enjoy

Audio previewing

While browsing the menu, the key moment of the song will play right from the menu. Or if you need silence to think, you can disable this feature. 

Level editor disabled

Please note: Beatcore zero does not contain the level editor or access to the workshop. Only a selection of tracks from the full version are available to try. 

High scores

Each track comes with its own local scoreboard, so you know when you've just beaten your own record. Or your friends can set you impossible records to beat. 

Pause recovery

When unpausing the game, you'll be given a 3 second grace period to get ready before the track resumes again.

Difficulty

Tracks can include multiple difficulties, ranging from easy, all the way to impossible. In addition to this, there are also variations with a different number of lanes. If this still isn't enough, you can play in blindfolded mode which only reveals the notes right before they land.
