- EA Update #1: Into the Deep Forest 🌲 - 19 March 2026
Patch 0.7.1.0 and Steam Spring Sale life now!Hey everyone, thanks again for all who have enjoyed or supported RHYTHMIC so far! With this years Steam Spring Sale RHYTHMIC is getting some juicy updates:🌲 New Map: Deep Forest The expedition's path winds through dense woodland, far from the safety of the village. The workers brought supply crates to build up a small outpost, but in your hands they're more than cargo. Leave them in place to create chokepoints and slow the advance, or smash them to draw enemies closer. Just be ready: if you can't put them down fast enough, your gate will be the one paying the price.🐾 New Enemies: The Vilegrowth Cutting down the trees has awakened something wretched to confront the workers. Every Vilegrowth carries the Festering trait: they periodically swell in size, growing tougher and more dangerous with every passing moment. Cut them down while they're s…

- THE MUSIC HAS BEGUN! - 3 February 2026
RHYTHMIC is OUT NOW!I’m honestly struggling to find the words, but after 14 months of going full-tilt and a year and a half of chipping away at this as a hobby before that, RHYTHMIC is finally out in Early Access! Last year, I set a personal challenge to actually get a full game into the world, and seeing that 'Early Access' tag live on Steam feels surreal. I chose EA because I’m dead-set on making this the most polished version of itself it can be, and I know I need your eyes on it to get there. I have a massive backlog of ideas I’m itching to add, but my main priority right now is sharpening the core experience and layering in more content without letting feature creep pull us off course. Thank you for even looking at it—this has been my entire life for over a year, and I can't wait to see where we take it from here!

- Let the Music Begin! - 22 January 2026
It's finally happening! I am incredibly excited to announce the release of my first fully solo developed game.For those who don't know: RHYTHMIC is a VR game that smashes rhythm gameplay together with tower defense. You catch magical particles to the beat, charge up spells, and blast waves of enemies before they overrun your position. It's fast, it's physical, and it's genuinely unlike anything else I've played in VR.What's in the Early Access build?10 songs across 3 maps3 spells + 1 ultimateGlobal leaderboardsDrog & Bog (your tree stump companions)5 achievements and 4 unlockable customizationsIf you want to help shape this thing during early access, hop into the Discord. This is a solo passion project, so every piece of feedback is incredibly appreciated!Watch the trailer See you on the leaderboards.—Robin
