 About the Game

In the neon-soaked underground clubs of Yaponia, warriors don’t fight with fists — they train battle beetles.

In Beetle Punk, you’ll build looping move sequences and command your beetle in intense, turn-based duels. Choose your strategies wisely — each round, pick which loop to run, then watch the battle unfold, one move at a time.

As you win fights, you unlock new moves and extend your loops. Outsmart rival beetles, break their patterns, and rise to the top of the underground.

 How it Fits the Theme – Loop

  • Combat is loop-based: You build short sequences of moves and repeat them in battle.

  • Strategy comes from choosing and reusing loops, reacting to the enemy’s predictable patterns.

  • The entire game is about learning, adapting, and perfecting your loops.
