What Beat Nebula is

Beat Nebula is an arcade game developed by TJ "Kyatt" Cordes and released in 2016. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

In space, everybody can hear you drum. Beat Nebula is a game for QaziJam8, which had no theme, so I restricted myself to a game that had a limited color palette (based on recently announced Pokémon Cosmog) and to make the game playable on the Donkey Konga bongo controller (which I later expanded to the Taiko Drum Master controller too). You can also play with a keyboard, but it's a lot more fun with a controller you can hit really hard. Hit the drums to destroy the comets and dodge lasers. Get hit three times or fall off of your platform, and the universe will end. No pressure.
