To successfully engage in brawls, you’ll need to have precise timing, as Bull Beat takes advantage of the Bongo controller’s unique ability to tie gameplay into rhythm-based mechanics. Swing your ax or block attack sensors or activate special speed boosters or stun moves using the controller’s clap to make for some interesting combat.

According to Cobra Code, Bull Beat took about three months to make the game using Unreal Engine 5, as it took them some time to get the movement system, boss fights, and map together while making it. The developer also noted that the game can be played with a keyboard but that it was made using the DK Bongos in mind.
