New game mode and environment "Real 360" transports you to center of a high-tech rotating space station. Beats will be coming at you from all directions (including above and below!) but the challenge doesn't stop there. You will be also bombarded by red drones and need to activate your shields (using trigger button) to block them. :-O

Brand new theme with moving mountains, fog and lightning. Oh and you are standing on a flying dragon. :)

Existing themes have been optimized and improved for better visual experience.

• Haptic – you can now adjust haptic (vibration) feedback of your controllers (both amplitude and duration) to achieve desired feel
  
• New custom balls art – dealing with coronavirus situation and need something to cheer you up? You can select new virus or biohazard symbols and symbolically destroy these threats the old fashioned way!

5th game environment (theme) has been added. This one is unique - it moves as you play, hope no one will get snow-sick ;)
You can now use heart button to mark your favourite songs and sort the songs by your favourites.

We have enhanced support for custom songs. You can now add video file even to 3rd party formats (info. json or info.dat). For more information visit our page here: Song Beater - Custom songs[songbeater.com]

Video playback in Island theme has been fixed.

After months of constant improving our early access version with regular updates we bring you the ultimate "Full release update", which will pave the way to full release of the game.

• 16 new songs and videos (so there are now more than 45 songs included in the game!) – Named "volume 2" pack, starring Canadian songwriter and singer Mikalyn, French musician Dizaro and more.
  
• 3 new game environments (themes) – Dark tropical island, Deep space and Ancient Egypt. Existing "Early access" theme was improved as well.
  
• Championship multiplayer mode – Want to compete with any number of players all over the world at the same time? Now you can, Championship mode brings automated roster of songs playing non-stop, you can join anytime and select your preferred difficulty level as well (you can see number of players participating in each difficulty, after finishing the song you see your overall placement). If you'd rather play selected song with a chosen friend, you can use existing Multiplayer mode.
  
• Further customizations – You can now change symbols and colors of beat balls (affecting also colors of your hands/weapons) from default yellow-purple scheme to any colors you like.
  
• Optimizations and bugfixes – Thanks to valuable feedback from our players here on Steam and our Discord server we were able to fix several bugs affecting some achievements. If you still encounter any weird behaviour, let us know at [email protected]

Thank you all for your support!

This new gameplay setting will test your reflexes and reward you with 10% score bonus. When ON, the balls will be spawning in a much shorter distance in front of you thus giving you less time to react. You can think of it as of some kind of martial art practice. :)

(For streaming or showing your gameplay to friends who gather around your monitor/TV/projector :))

You can now switch between cameras (first person, external static, external moving) and avatar types (Winston or anime character) in the game settings. You can also still use Escape and function (F4 etc.) keys in desktop game window and mouse and arrow keys to adjust the camera view.

3 new game settings! If you are learning basics of the game or just want to enjoy whole song without the fear of failure, turn "No fail" option ON (your score won't be saved to leaderboard tables though).

If you just need to take things a little bit slower, adjust brand new "Song speed" setting to 90% (there will be -10% penalty to your score).

If you are already a pro and want to spice things up, turn the speed all the way up to 150% (you will receive +20% score bonus). And the gameplay becomes quite hilarious as a side effect, see for yourself :-D

If you want to focus on achieving the highest score, you can now setup "Score per hit" display to show just accuracy (ACC) or just power (POW) of your blows.
