If you’ve ever wanted to battle villains in perfect sync with a musical number, Billie Bust Up might just be your dream game. The whimsical, animated-style 3D platformer made an appearance at the Future Games Show, showing off a brand-new sneak peek at one of its many character-driven songs.
Developed by Giddy Goat Games, Billie Bust Up takes inspiration from classic animated musicals, blending adventurous platforming with rhythm-based combat. Think of it as a mix of Cuphead’s showmanship, Banjo-Kazooie’s humor, and Disney-style singalongs—but with a magic-wielding goat at the center of it all.
A Platformer with a Musical Twist
In Billie Bust Up, you play as Billie, a young goat on a mission to unravel her father’s mysterious past while honing powerful magical abilities. Along the way, you’ll encounter a vibrant cast of eccentric heroes and villains, each with their own fully orchestrated, character-driven songs—composed by Daniel Ingram, known for his work on My Little Pony and other animated hits.
Rather than just serving as background music, these songs actively shape the gameplay. Every boss fight is rhythm-based, meaning enemies attack in sync with the music, and players must time their moves to the beat to come out on top.
