Dead Beat

REMIX THE UNDERWORLD. After Death gets tired of his responsibilities, he approaches the almost-famous musician Jack Vile with a startling proposal: he wants to swap jobs! As Jack, dash and slice your way through the bizarre realm of Limbo, the underworld’s waiting room. But it’s not as easy as it sounds – Limbo will fight back at every turn, deploying guardian drones and continuously sapping away Jack’s speed. Reap the lost souls of Limbo to briefly restore that lost speed, or else be caught and cast out of the underworld forever. Jack’s newfound mentor, formerly known as Death, waits at the end of each level, eager to show off his latest songs. Reach him to earn his respect – and gain more of his powers. Will Jack prove himself a worthy successor?

KEEP IN MIND, this game is only a basic prototype and is defintely not finished.
