Spin the Beat

Spin the Beat is a couch-multiplayer arcade game for 1 to 4 players on a single screen. You and up to three friends try to stay on a small world as enemies attempt to knock you off. Survive consecutive waves, defeat enemies and each other to earn points, or work together to keep the game going.

Stay on the world

The objective is simple: don’t fall off. Six color-coded enemy types have different behaviors, but all try to knock players from the arena. Sudden events, including power-ups and changes to how the world behaves, can disrupt a match. The game also features multiple environments, each with its own visual style, soundscape and gameplay twists.

Game modes

Party Mode is about earning points, while Survival Mode is a competition to be the last player standing. The controls and objectives are simple, and the music is semi-procedural, so play sessions do not all have the same soundtrack.

Background

Spin the Beat is an expanded and enhanced remake of BeatBox, a student game developed at DigiPen Institute of Technology in 2014 by Spin the Beat’s creator.
