About this game

Beat Defender is a fast-paced rhythm action game where you fight hordes of police to defend a group of homeless people, all to the beat of music, working your way up to a special rhythm boss!

The Police Are On The Attack!

Cut them all down, every last one of them! FOR THE FULL COMBO!
With precise attack and parry timing, flawlessly defend the homeless people from the incoming villains, all while earning points with beautiful "Excellent" ratings and unlocking more content! Upload custom maps to the Steam Workshop where you can play other custom levels, made by fellow players, all while supporting charity just by playing the game!

Notable Features:
  • Swooshy sword attacks
  • Kawooshy sword parries
  • Action-packed levels with music by friends Paranoise and Gabo
  • Slightly less action-packed menus
  • A super sick final boss
  • An equally sick donation of 100% of Developer Proceeds to the Denver Rescue Mission, a nonprofit that supports those without homes!
