Beam On: A Star Forest Adventure – A Unique Band Promotion Disguised as an Endless Flyer
Beam On, a seemingly unremarkable endless flyer game, reveals a surprising twist: it's a clever marketing campaign for the virtual band, Star Forest. This Flappy Bird-esque game, available now on the iOS App Store, tasks players with navigating a star-filled landscape by tapping to ascend and descend, utilizing a limited-use jetpack for precision maneuvers.
While the gameplay mechanics borrow elements from Flappy Bird and Jetpack Joyride, the game's charm lies in its retro aesthetic and soundtrack, serving as an effective introduction to the band. Star Forest, similar in concept to Gorillaz, is a virtual band without the virtual music creation aspect. Beam On acts as a companion piece to their latest music video.
The game's target audience is primarily children, given its cute visuals and approachable musical style. However, its simple, wallet-friendly gameplay could also appeal to adults seeking a less demanding Flappy Bird alternative.
While not groundbreaking, Beam On stands out as a creative and engaging promotional tool for a virtual band. If this doesn't quite capture your interest, explore our weekly roundup of the top five new mobile games for more exciting options. Discover the best new releases from the past week!
