BEAT BAES:
MY WAIFU IS A
BATTLE-TOP MECH?!
Build busted loadouts, smash BAEs, and grind through a chaotic, physics-driven roguelike where Riders pilot customizable battle-top mechs in illegal underground arenas.

HOW IT PLAYS
SHAPE THE PARTS. Tips, rings, drivers, and mods that do not politely stack. The busted combinations are the point.
MOUNT THE RIG. Bolt it into one machine and live with what you built. Weight, spin, and balance are settled before you ever touch the floor.
SMASH RIVAL BAEs. Every collision is real physics. Angle and mass decide the fight more than raw stats do.
RUN IT BACK. Die, keep what you learned, reshape, drop again.
GAME FILE // QUICK READ
WHAT IS BEAT BAES?
BEAT BAES is a free, browser-playable, anime-inspired 3D physics action roguelike with roguelite progression. Play solo or enter experimental online PvP arena combat with up to 5 players, piloting customizable battle-top mechs through illegal underground arenas.
> GENRE // 3D physics-driven action roguelike with roguelite progression and momentum-based arena combat
> PLAY NOW // Free single-player open alpha on itch.io, playable in your browser
> PVP // Experimental online multiplayer arena combat for up to 5 players
> BUILD // Customize modular battle-top mechs, create busted loadouts, and master simulated physics
> BAE // Bio-Augmented Exoskeleton: the combat machine every Rider pilots
NEW IN v0.4.0
> New name, new identity. The project has its name, its look, and its attitude locked in. Everything from the logo to the arena art now pulls in one direction.
> Full 3D physics. Combat left the 2D prototype behind. Collisions, angles, and knockback read the way they look, and a good line through the arena matters more than ever.
> Tops and arenas built at runtime. BAEs and arenas are real 3D models assembled as you play, so the parts you bolt on actually show up on the machine you are piloting.
> Breakneck rebuilt. The roguelike mode is reimagined from the ground up, with a faster run structure and decisions that carry real weight.
CURRENT BUILD
OPEN ALPHA // PLAYABLE NOW
Play the free browser alpha directly on itch.io. The current build tests its single-player roguelite loop and experimental online PvP for up to 5 players, including arena combat, physics, balance, clarity, and whether smashing rival BAEs actually feels good. Artist commissions have started!
Expect rough edges. Content, presentation, progression, and the new rhythm-driven direction are still evolving in public.
INPUT REQUESTED
GYAT FEEDBACK?
Your feedback directly influences what gets improved, rebalanced, expanded, or lovingly smashed next.
> Which loadout you ran and how far you got
> Where you died, and whether it felt cheap or earned
> Anything you tried to do that the game would not let you do
> Whether the beat actually changed how you played

BUILT IN PUBLIC
BEAT BAES is a self-funded indie game developed primarily by one developer, with occasional help from friends and collaborators.
The public alpha uses temporary AI-generated and AI-assisted assets to prototype the game and establish its direction. They are placeholders, not the intended final product.
The goal is to replace player-facing AI-generated creative assets with original work from human artists, animators, musicians, writers, and other collaborators before commercial release.
JOIN THE DISCORD
Playtests get called there first, builds get posted early, and balance arguments happen in public. It is the fastest way to shape this thing.
