Introducing Beam On: A Star Forest Adventure, a captivating endless flyer designed to promote the virtual band, Star Forest. This game draws inspiration from the likes of Gorillaz and Hatsune Miku, creating a unique companion piece to the band's latest music video. If you're unfamiliar with Star Forest, imagine a band that exists virtually, much like Gorillaz, but without the virtual music creation aspect of Hatsune Miku.
In terms of gameplay, Beam On combines the addictive mechanics of Flappy Bird with elements reminiscent of Jetpack Joyride. Players tap to rise and fall, navigating through obstacles with precision, aided by a jetpack that offers more controlled flight, albeit with limited use. While the concept isn't groundbreaking, the game's retro visuals and soothing music effectively introduce the band to players, serving as a delightful promotional tool.
Available now on the iOS App Store, Beam On is primarily targeted at a younger audience. The game's cute visuals and accessible musical style make it an appealing choice for kids. However, it also caters to a niche of adults seeking a Flappy Bird-like experience without the aggressive monetization often found in similar games. Though it may not revolutionize the genre, Beam On offers an engaging way to explore the world of Star Forest.
Star Forest, with its charming appeal, is well-suited for its target demographic. Yet, it might also attract adults interested in a straightforward, wallet-friendly endless flyer.
While Beam On might not be a game-changer, it stands out as an innovative promotional strategy for a virtual band. If this doesn't quite catch your interest, worry not.
