Creative challenge
Every player action is locked to the beat, so the music has to be the game's timing system as well as its mood.

The Music
Mine The Beat is a rhythm-based mining game where players move to the beat, mine ores, avoid enemies and descend deeper for better rewards. It was made for Ludum Dare 48 with the theme "Deeper and Deeper" by Hunterson Studio, GamesBySaul and TKIMUSE.
Musical approach
Layered, groove-led writing that builds as the player descends, keeping the pulse unmistakable so the beat stays readable during play.
