The music aspect of Bulet Beat is highly praised for its innovative integration of player-uploaded tracks, allowing for a personalized gameplay experience where levels dynamically respond to the music's tempo. The soundtrack, featuring a decent dubstep OST, enhances the overall experience, although some players note issues with enemy variety and combo mechanics that can detract from the fun. Overall, the ability to upload and play custom music is a standout feature that adds significant replay value.
“Bullet Beat has a pretty cool concept in that it's a bullet hell game with music/beat mechanics that go with the flow of the beat.”
“One of the main points of the game is that you can upload your own music from your PC and play generated levels based on the tempo of your music.”
“Levels react very well to the beat of the music.”
“However, one of the main points of the game is that you can upload your own music from your PC, and play generated levels based on the tempo of your music.”
“Most tracks have only 1 enemy type (except bumpy squares) & some have no enemies at all because the game can easily go dozens of seconds at a time without spawning anything even though there's music playing.”
“There's a combo system but it's so strict that even getting a 2 combo is usually impossible because there's no 2nd enemy in range, there's no second enemy at all, all of the enemies are phased into the invincible bumpy squares that block your shots, or the music makes your guns stop firing, which means your combo is dead even if it only happens for a fraction of a second.”
