200 000. WASTED.

LET'S RUN IT BACK THIS 2026.

I'VE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE. (and never again)

BEATKEEPERS

this is the intro to a gamemode we call "Beatkeepers", something co-op where you have to rebuild your entire game scene with everyone else. y'all better hope you can go note-for-note, as even if one person misses, you all get punished.

coming soooooon to Playtest Eclipse.

TRUST

i PROMISE this is for game purposes i'm not just messing around

KABOOM (the performance is horrific)

for the next playtest we're focused on polishing - getting the game up to speed in terms of feature clarity, stability, and visual enhancements, and whatever else we see fit.

like those new input sound effects we have. Really adds to the experience.

anywho, bye. <3

little tiny "quality-of-life" enhancement that really should've been in Poly Beats for a while - Favoriting, Searching, and Filtering maps are in for the next playtesting update.

(ignore the bugs i'll fix those tommorow)

WOOP WOOP WOOP NEW PLAYTEST ALERT 🚨

Playtest Proxima 2 is out on Steam in a closed-but-sorta-not-closed Playtest.

This one adds better Leaderboard frameworks, alongside a fully charted mod-chart on a base game level, modifiers to keep things interesting, and so so many bugfixes.

nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing out-of-the-blur, just a girl enjoying a small animation she made for her video game.

almost done with this playtest.

have i showed you what a level can look like behind what you see?

we made a mistake, and we're sorry.
we did not mean to offend religions like Thanksgiving, and also cultures that celebrate Thanksgiving.

we only wanna be a safe space, and we breached that bubble in a way we shouldn't have.

hit us up and we'll try to make it right.
