Hi everyone, Today Tied to the Beat leaves Early Access. Version 1.0 is live on Windows, macOS, Linux and Steam Deck, and it is 30% off for the next two weeks. Ten weeks ago I launched a game where your music is your weapon: load a song, and its lyrics fly across the arena to the beat, with every word changing the fight. Since then you played it, broke it, reported it and reviewed it. 1.0 is the v...

What changed Assigned songs play where you put them. Profiles saved by an older version could keep a hidden pointer to the built-in track of that slot, so the library showed your song while the run played the original. The game now cleans that up when it starts. Lyrics files are read the way real tools write them. LRC files with three-digit milliseconds, colon separators, single-digit minutes, hea...

What changed Multi-song import. When you dropped two or more songs at once, the second one could vanish: the game said "Song imported!", the file was on disk, but the song never reached your library. Every queued song is now written, verified and shown. No more ghost files. A song that cannot be saved to the library is removed from disk instead of lingering on your drive. Small UI fixes Clearer fe...

Hi everyone, This is the biggest update Tied to the Beat has ever had. Over the last month I rebuilt almost everything you see while you play: the lyric effects, the four worlds, your character and the engine underneath. I am calling it PRE 1.0 because this is the game you will get on October 9, when we leave Early Access. Until then I want to see how it runs on your machines, so every report coun...

Hi everyone, We've given the whole game a visual pass with this one: - New icon set across the entire game. Every upgrade, relic and path choice now has its own icon, designed so you can tell what it does at a glance. - All 45 achievements have new art. Each one is now a vinyl record with its own design inside. Worth a look at your collection. - Performance improvements in the busiest late-game mo...

This update focuses on loading behavior and stability. - The loading bar shown when returning to the menu now reflects the real progress of the reload. Previously it filled up early and stayed at 100%, which made the game look frozen. - Reduced the frame hitch that could happen while a run starts, when visual effects are prepared behind the curtain. The pause is around 20% shorter, with no visual ...
