BeatPlayer

BeatPlayer is a precision rhythm game which focuses on utilizing two sets of directional inputs. There is a box in the center of the screen which approaching beats move towards. The player must input the corresponding direction once the beat reaches the edge of the center box. The approaching beats can be either red, blue, or purple. Red beats correspond to inputs in the left hand (Player 1), while blue beats correspond to inputs in the right hand (Player 2). Purple beats indicate that the corresponding direction must be input by both hands (players).

Some beats may, when hit, begin to bounce between opposite sides inside the center box. The player must hit these beats in the same capacity as beats approaching the center box from the outside. The beat may continue to bounce between opposite sides for an amount of iterations decided by the beatmap.
