Obey the Beat
Released
About the game
A fast-paced rhythm arcade game with 17 tracks, 3 difficulty levels, leaderboards, and a challenging Roguelike mode where you must survive the full setlist with one life bar while adapting to game-changing modifiers.
Original Steam description
The beat rules. You obey. Guide a bouncing orb from tile to tile along a neon highway, always on the beat. Every jump is a note, every miss brings you closer to the end… and the Robot Overlord shows no mercy.
This is the most complete version of Obey the Beat. The entire interface has been redesigned from scratch for gamepad play: menus, song select and settings are fast and natural to navigate — no mouse needed.
Optimized for Steam Deck. Obey the Beat runs flawlessly on Valve’s handheld and plays especially well with its trackpads: swipe your thumb to steer every jump with precision, without missing a beat.
The new Challenge Mode is a roguelite mode: clear 10 songs in a row with a single life bar. After each song, the Robot Overlord imposes a new rule — a modifier that changes how the game plays and stacks with the previous ones. The difficulty keeps rising, and no two runs are alike.
Turn on Turbo Mode in any song and play it at super speed. The tracks you’ve already mastered become a whole new challenge.
Obey the Beat launches with 17 songs on day one, and new songs will be added for free in future updates.
