Blast Beat

Blast Beat is a VR rhythm action game where you punch to the beat, defeat opponents and avoid obstacles. Your punches destroy standard notes, while arrow notes require a punch in the indicated direction. Obstacles and enemy attacks can break your combo and lower your score.

Attacks and counters

At long range, you can smash notes with straight punches, hooks, uppercuts or other punches. At short range, enemies move close enough to attack directly; avoid being hit, then counter when an opportunity opens. You can counter with punches, squats or arm spins, dealing damage and knocking enemies back.

The game has four gauntlet variations and two modes. Normal mode includes all notes, including Hard notes that require a fast punch and Guard Notes, which appear when you cross your arms in front of your chest. Exercise mode uses the earlier note set without Hard or Guard Notes.

Songs and stages

Blast Beat includes 38 original songs across varying difficulties and genres, from hard rock and metal to Celtic music and EDM. The songs are designed and mapped for each stage setting. There are seven fantasy settings, six available and one incoming, and each environment changes through three stages as a song plays.

Bosses and scores

You face seven stage bosses, each with two color variations and a distinct attack style. A calorie tracker estimates calories burned based on your height and weight, while global leaderboards let you compete for a place among the top 20 Blast Beaters worldwide. An in-game third-person perspective mode supports streaming.
