Up Beat is an addictive Flash-based game in the vein of Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero. Except instead of a dance pad or a guitar, you play with your keyboard. If you can't figure out the rules from the screenshot, little bars shoot their way toward you at high speeds. You have to hit the corresponding key at just the moment the little bar arrives. The fact that the action is timed to annoying techno music either makes the game a lot harder, or a lot easier to play, depending on your perspective.
There are three levels of difficulty, and 9 songs to choose from. To be honest, they all sound kind of the same, but that doesn't make the game any less fun to play.
