BeatChip '95

Such a cool, moreish game. It took me a little while to get to grips with what was possible and realise how much freedom there is to layer different beats and experiment, but once it clicked, I genuinely didn’t want to stop. There’s a really satisfying rhythm to learning instruments, building tracks, chasing higher scores and squeezing in a bit of hard-drive maintenance at the end of the day. The time limit creates a great tension: you’re under pressure to keep producing, but constantly tempted to try more complex combinations and see what happens. Pulling off a high-scoring beat feels brilliant. The music is excellent throughout, with a mysterious atmosphere that also feels effortlessly cool. Full of little visual flourishes and audio quirkiness too. I had no problem sprinting through my first run, and now I just want to experiment more. I’m very glad there’s a creative mode for doing exactly that. Genuinely inventive, stylish and great fun.

A fun game, makes some really nice music, especially when you get more instruments. Has a creative mode which you need to unlock achievements in the main game to progress in so I can see myself putting in a lot more time into it. Took me about an hour per run.

A quirky indie game mixing creative beats with a chill daily management sim. Engaging and fun!

Very addictive and enjoyable as you figure out all the different things you can do and the tracks you make sound great too. It's really cleverly put together

Very cool game. Core concept is really fun and unusual. A lot of thought has gone into the art style too. Really cosy and atmospheric. Will be recommending for sure.

Seriously fun, relaxing and addictive in equal measure. Totally worth it and you can see the effort that has gone into making this. 100% must buy.

A very creative game with an excellent concept. Making beats and finding new ways to link instruments and effects was great fun - leading to some funky beats. I spent far too long trying to optimise the beats/instrument and effect tiles to have as much on the beat matrix as I could and kept running out of time in the days - glad there is a creative mode to explore more! Endless possibilities!
