Overview
Description

140 is an indie 2D rhythm puzzle‑platformer that blends tight platforming with a dynamic soundtrack. Every beat influences the environment, turning music into a core gameplay mechanic. Players must time their movements to the pulse, navigating ever‑changing levels that react to the beat. The game offers a unique fusion of strategy, action, and musical interactivity across multiple platforms.

Awakened from his slumber, Beatbuddy journeys across lush, hand‑painted environments, each pulsing to an original soundtrack that guides his path. The world reacts to the beat, unlocking new routes and challenging puzzles as he searches for his sisters Melody and Harmony. Along the way, Beatbuddy teams up with the witty Clef and confronts the villainous Prince Maestro, blending music, platforming, and fantasy storytelling into a single‑player adventure that rewards timing and curiosity.
