Synopsis

In Beat-it, sequel to Jammin', the player plays the musician Rockin' Rodney (or his girlfriend Rachel) who must collect notes to finalize his new composition. These notes are scattered across 60 fixed levels, made up of vertical aisles of three different colors. The player cannot switch directly from one color to another; he must take two gateways (one from left to right, the other from right to left), located at the top and bottom of the screen. Enemies have varied effects on contact: distorted notes steal real notes already collected, joysticks reverse controls, and shrinking causes the protagonist to split. Still others turn off the light or cause the loss of a life. Besides notes, there are other items to collect or avoid: cigarettes slow down movement speed; flowers earn bonus points for the unselected character.
