It is the second game in the Bit.Trip series, directly succeeding Bit.Trip Beat and preceding Bit.Trip Void, Bit.Trip Runner, Bit.Trip Fate and Bit.Trip Flux.

There are three levels in total, named "Discovery", "Exploration" and "Control" respectively, each approximately 15 minutes in length.

As the player builds up a score multiplier by collecting beats in a row without missing, the game transitions into Mega and Super modes, making alterations to the level's graphics and music.

In addition, bombs can be acquired and used with a press of the 1 Button, which is useful for clearing the screen of beats during difficult sections.

If the player misses several beats, a Nether meter fills - this puts the game into a silent, black-and-white phase.
