BOY BEATS WORLD Reviews

Worth it just for the OST!

Makes me wish I was better at rhythm games

Quite innovative, worth a try. Runs well on Linux.

I played the demo and loved the gameplay and the charm of the world of BBW... and finally the game is here! You play as a human in a world where almost all humans have gone extinct and now robots and other creatures took their places. In the beginning you have one attack button which can be executed (according to the beat) perfectly (yellow), good (green) or red (bad) and a dancing button which help you collect the loot left by you enemies. Later you got a rolling move which you will have to use to dodge, stun and even being able to attack some armored enemies. In the meantime, the mystery of your existence and the new world unfolds... It's quirky, fun and the music is great <3

"This place might look like a prison. But I can leave any time I want. I'm just too poor to do so"

eh, it's ok. i'm not too much into the story. It's still a pretty good game though if you really like rhythm.

Also recommended if you are not into rhythm games! The game is build in such a way that people like me (a raccoon without rhythm but with love for music) can also enjoy it :D

I am so glad I discovered this game (thanks to Pursuing Pixels). I was only intending to play it for 5 minutes on my first sitting, but 3 hours later, I couldn't put it down. I

Fun beat mechanic that is satisfying to execute and get right. The enemy behaviours force you to use it in different ways so that’s neat Great accessibility options like freestyle mode and a beat visualiser, making it fun to play the game despite your skill level! It’s also giving me really old school indie vibes - with bold design choices that prioritise “character” over retention - like what happens with the starting dialog (are you human?)

BOY BEATS WORLD is a strange little adventure with tons of charm and originalty. It's especially recommended if: You are looking for a music game that is not all about perfect execution You enjoy unique world building and dark comedy You enjoy searching for new music in real life The introduction is a bit slow but after that it's pretty smooth sailing. Not everything is explained right away and it seems expected of the player to figure out and try out the mechanics (and pogression) themselves. But there is a help screen and extra settings to help you out.
