Hi everyone!
I'm happy to officially announce Crumbeats, my music-driven incremental arcade game where your build progressively becomes the music.
The free demo is now available on Steam!
You start with a nearly silent speaker and progressively build both your power and the soundtrack around you.
The demo focuses on the core progression loop, including:
• Break Crumbs with rhythmic waves and collect Echoes
• Upgrade your damage, range and BPM
• Unlock instruments like Bass and Guitar
• Build toward Groove as the run becomes increasingly intense
• Watch color progressively return as the music comes back to life
I've also released a new trailer showing the current state of the game:
The demo contains around 15 minutes of progression and is meant to give you a good look at the core idea behind Crumbeats.
Crumbeats will also be part of Steam Next Fest from October 19–26.
The full game is currently planned for November 2026, with more instruments, upgrades and progression still to come.

If you enjoy the demo, wishlisting the game is the best way to support the project and make sure you don't miss the release.
Feel free to leave any thoughts in the comments or join the Discord if you'd like to follow development more closely.
