GRIDbeat!

Gridbeat ended up being way more fun than I expected. It’s got this really simple look, but once you start playing, it just clicks. The music and visuals line up nicely, and getting into that rhythm feels super satisfying. What I liked most is how easy it is to jump in and just play a few rounds without overthinking it. The controls feel smooth, and the whole experience is just really chill but still engaging at the same time. It’s not trying to be anything crazy, but it does what it does really well. If you’re into rhythm games or just want something you can pick up and enjoy right away, I’d definitely recommend it.

The rhythm-based dungeon crawling style felt fresh and is quite a unique take on the genre. The music and sound effects were well designed and made it easy to go along with the beat in contrast to other rhythm games where you had to rely more on the visual aspects match yourself with the beat. Though admittedly, using a keyboard for this game felt a bit clunky. It's probably a matter of personal preference, but I had to take some time to get used to it. But once I switched to a controller it definitely felt way better to play. Some of the obstacles and challenges in the game kind of stumped me at first, but that challenge really made me think about how I would approach it instead of mindlessly going through the levels. I currently only have about an hour into the game, but I'm excited to see what more it brings on later, and more challenging levels. Overall, it’s already looking like a solid game with an interesting take on the genre, definitely worth playing if you’re into rhythm games or dungeon crawlers.

I'm not into rhythm games, but this game is interesting and I enjoyed playing it!

interesting game, it reminds me of beat arcade games. quite enjoyable and frustrating

It's a fun rhythm game. It reminds me of Crypt of the Necrodancer. Beautiful colour palette however just a tad bit overstimulating especially if you've been playing for a while. The music is easy to play to and very chill to just listen to which makes focusing on the beat easier. The game's pretty easy to pick up.

I like that this is a nice take to a rhythm game. It keeps you mindful about moving to the beat and the music is really fun to listen to.

The music was highly enjoyable with beats that were easy to pick up. It's a unique storyline to pair with a rhythm game, that of a computer hacker navigating through computer system. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be playing a lot more of it.
