Rhythm game content is a game genre where the user interacts with the beats in the music, typically involving higher difficulty compared to other game genres. A recent trend in indie Rhythm games has focused on reducing difficulty while increasing the interactions in the game. So, the content provides better accessibility for users. This study analyzes the characteristics of Rhythm game users and non-users through a survey, and instead of creating new interactive elements, it adopts a genre fusion approach by bringing flow elements from existing genres based on an analysis of previous examples. The study proposes and develops a new genre, the Rhythm Beat ’em Up game by merging the already successful genre of Beat ’em Up games with Rhythm games, thus creating a new genre.
