Fix bugs.
BeatX is a dream come true for fans of old-school rhythm games like Dance Dance Revolution or StepMania. It’s an incredibly robust, high-performance rhythm engine that supports several formats, including .sm and .dwi files. This means that besides the built-in tracks, you can potentially load a massive library of community-made content. On a high-refresh-rate mobile screen, the gameplay is buttery smooth.
The UI is functional rather than flashy, which I actually prefer—it stays out of the way so you can focus on the arrows. The difficulty levels are truly challenging; the 'Expert' modes require serious finger speed and rhythmic precision. I loved the variety of play modes, including double-style and solo. It’s a 'pro' rhythm game that respects its players' skills and offers a deep, customizable experience that few other mobile rhythm games can match.
Supports .sm and .dwi song formats
High FPS, lag-free rhythm engine
Global leaderboards and rankings
Multiple arrow styles and skins
If you feel like you're tapping the arrows but the game says 'Late,' go to the settings and adjust the 'Audio Offset.' This syncs the visuals perfectly to your specific headphones' latency.
For experienced players, use 'Speed Modifiers' (like 2x or 3x). While it makes the arrows move faster, it spreads them out more, making it easier to read complex rhythms.
Yes, BeatX supports external dance pads and controllers via Bluetooth for a true arcade feel.
First off, I think this app would be exceptional if it didn’t have an ad everyone button you press. I understand having ads on a free game, but having an ad when you click pause AND resume during a level is really obnoxious. Also this isn’t very noticeable in the easy ones but in the harder songs the input straight up dies and none of the arrows actually press. All I’m saying is that if the hit box for where you tap was a long column instead of just the tiny arrow, and the input wouldn’t break, I would play this game.
I really got excited to play BeatX on my IPhone but this isn't it. I've been playing BeatX sense around 2014 but the moment I open this game up I was disappointed, I hope that at least the developers try to improve this game and I would suggest increasing the size of the hit boxes and adding settings like on the OG BeatX.
I played this game often during 2014 and 2015 and for those who didn’t play then, the game with a few song packs then you could download more. It was largely Vocaloid songs but it was a good time! Wide variety of tracks, whatever difficulty setting I wanted. A couple taps and off I went. I came back to it now in late 2022 after playing on and off since 2015 and… it’s completely unrecognizable. They added a campaign mode (?????) and the “custom” song options are minimal. I don’t know what happened to cause such a change, but I’m genuinely horrified to see a well-loved and honestly top tier rhythm game turned into such generic sludge.
The game used to be fun with unique menus and actually good songs now it’s just garbage , I CANT BELIEVE THE GAME WAS BETTER WHEN IT WAS FREE
Period.
