Crazy Beat's Junction

Crazy Beat's Junction is a rhythm action game about Disk, a Junction Jockey newly transferred to Crazy Beat City. The city has lost its former liveliness, and Disk sets out to recover its “Beats” by directing cars through junctions in time with the music.

Direct traffic to the beat

You press buttons as notes move across the screen, hitting them at the right time to move cars toward the goal. Arrow keys control junction gimmicks, which you use to get cars through without crashes. You can choose Easy mode, which lets you play at your own pace, or Full Throttle Mode.

A wrong button press triggers “Deviation,” an improvised sequence in which you activate junction gimmicks and guide every car through without a collision. Pressing buttons when no notes are on screen fills the red Groove Gauge; once full, Groove Chance lets you hit notes in your own rhythm. A monotonous rhythm ends the chance.

During Dance Hole Time, you press buttons quickly and accurately as Disk’s jockey tricks get people—and the city—dancing.

Characters

• Disk: A 23-year-old Junction Jockey with three years of experience, transferred to Crazy Beat City. Active, self-willed and unmannerly, she wears an oversized jacket and hotpants.
• Builder: Disk’s direct supervisor and a long-serving middle manager in the Junction Jockey Department. He is strict with Disk but is also a funny, kind man; nobody knows how skilled he is as a Junction Jockey.
• Rin: Disk’s old friend, now a police officer and former Junction Jockey. She acts mature but has a strong will, looks out for people in trouble and cares about Disk.
• Mayor: The mayor of Crazy Beat City, elected two years ago after winning public support with her ideas and performance. She is hostile toward Disk but determined to improve the city, though she can be stubborn and pursue the wrong course. She thinks a fancy dress is suitable for any occasion.
• BB: A young man who teaches Disk how to work as a Junction Jockey. “Kitten” is his favorite expression.
