ROBOBEAT is a debut rogue-like rhythm shooter developed by Simon Fredholm and published by Kwalee. Players control Ace, a bounty hunter navigating procedurally generated levels to hunt the robotic showman Frazzer. Rhythmic precision drives combat efficacy, rewarding on-beat actions with damage multipliers and reduced ability cooldowns. Movement utilizes a kinetic suite of wall-running, sliding, bunny hopping, and grappling hook maneuvers to navigate technicolour environments.

A custom music editor enables the use of .wav, .mp3, and .ogg files, auto-generating beats that dictate the tempo of the environment and visuals. The progression system provides a library of unlockable weapons, melee options, and functional modifications that alter playstyles across successive runs. Tactical combat includes charged shots and armor-piercing rounds designed to dismantle enemy bots. Rhythmic mastery transforms the shooter into a high-speed mechanical dance.
