Technic Beat (テクニクビート, Tekuniku Bīto) is an arcade music video game developed by Arika.

Most of Technic Beat's gameplay takes place on a square-shaped area called a "stage".

Similar to the groove gauge in Beatmania, Technic Beat has a "tension indicator" to notify a player of how well they are performing.

In order to "pass" a song, the player must fill their tension indicator past a certain point, known as the "clear line".

If the player's tension indicator is not filled past the clear line at the end of the song, they will get a game over.

At the end of each song, the player is rewarded with points based on their accuracy, their timing, and the number of chains and chords formed.

In addition, each character also has their own individual "super action" that can only be used a certain amount of times depending on the game mode.
