Introducing our new project, Boxing x Rhythm VR game BEAT THE BEATS!
Hello everyone!
Hope you’re all doing well. We (the devs) just wanted to let you know we’re working on something new. It’s called BEAT THE BEATS! Wishlist here!
Beat the Beats is an electric mix of rhythm and boxing game. Use actual boxing-style punches to pound your way through musical arcade levels in hypnotic VR, working up a sweat as you climb the leaderboards.
If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, please head over to the Steam page and add it to your wishlist, and be sure to follow us for more updates. We are planning to release the game later this year on SteamVR.
Thank you so much! Lucas and Josef (Parallel Circles)
