Beat Blast 1.0 is less than a week away! After nearly two years as a web demo and one year in Early Access on Steam, it's quite surreal to see the release date approaching so quickly. Today we want to tease a little bit of the Beat Blast lore. While this isn't a central focus of the game, 1.0 will feature two new cinematics to give the game a bit of context: one at the start and one at the end of your journey. Enjoy the intro comic below!

We hope to have the full translations in and available on August 25th with the rest of 1.0. [h2]More Modifiers[/h2] Here is another peek at the Modifiers coming to 1.0 We are extremely excited about these modifiers and believe they add a ton of re-playability to the game.

To make more builds viable. [/list]
