Tied to the Beat is live at the Steam PvE Survival Crafting Fest
Tied to the Beat · published
Tied to the Beat is part of the Steam PvE Survival Crafting Fest, running from August 31 to September 7. To celebrate it, the game is live on this page for the whole fest and beyond.
What you will see on stream:
- Songs where the lyrics are the weapons. Each word triggers its own effect on screen: fire, rain, love, all of it.
- 8 characters, each with a hidden stat tied to the rhythm. Drum hits harder at low HP. Piano fires on downbeats.
- The final chorus of every track turns into a Hell wave built from the real structure of the song.
- Custom MP3 support: drop in any track and the game reacts to its lyrics.
The demo is free. Try it while you watch, and if you like what you see, the full game is right here.
Everything you see is my own work, engine included, written from scratch in TypeScript.
