Skullbeat, a new PvP rhythm action game from Danish tag team Kong Orange and Chop Chop Games, is now available on Roblox!
Announced during the Roblox Developer Conference (RDC) keynote presentation in San Francisco, Skullbeat is the second game in the Felix the Ripper franchise, bringing the dancing agent of death to an entirely new setting, platform and genre offset.
In Skullbeat, up to five players show off their rhythmic skills by throwing shapes, releasing power-ups, and scoring points in the ultimate dance of death. With a variety of songs and stages, you’ll need more than perfect timing to beat your duelists. In each round, which is part ballet, part combat, players will throw various distractions at their opponents, from a blinding flashlight to distracting confetti to a freezing beam that freezes them in their tracks. Accessible exclusively through Roblox, users can socialize and unlock rewards in multiplayer musical showdowns in Skullbeat’s stylish, high-fidelity nightclub.
After 2019’s stylish single-player puzzle game Felix the Ripper, Skullbite seemed like a natural way to expand the Felix universe, Kong Orange CEO Esben Kejar Ravn explained:
“It was a hands-on experience for us to play a fully multiplayer mode in a game inspired by Danse Macabre and this colorful art story.”
“As a game developer, I feel very fulfilled and happy that we were able to create the second part of this franchise. It’s a clear testament to the courage and tenacity that I believe lies under the hood of every good game studio, and now we can share it with the world.”
Danish developer Chop Chop Games is also working on bringing Rhythm Batter to life.
“Working on Schoolbeat was a blast,” said Dario Rahimik, CEO of Chop Chop Games. “As a big fan of rhythm games, I’ve always wanted to bring a new twist to the genre, and I think Roblox is a great place to do that. The Roblox community is very open to new things and gave us great feedback throughout the alpha phase and helped us improve the game.”
“Felix the Ripper is a great IP to work with and I hope this groovy spin on Danse Macabre does him justice.”
