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 promotional tool for the virtual band, Star Forest! This Flappy Bird-esque game, available now on the iOS App Store, challenges players to navigate a course, dodging obstacles with simple tap controls and utilizing a limited-use jetpack for precision maneuvering.
While the gameplay mechanics borrow heavily from established titles like Flappy Bird and Jetpack Joyride, the game's charm lies in its retro-inspired visuals and music, which effectively introduce the band to a wider audience. Star Forest, similar in concept to Gorillaz, is a virtual band, and Beam On serves as a companion piece to their latest music video.
The game's target audience is primarily children, given its cute aesthetic and approachable musical style. However, adults seeking a less exploitative alternative to similar endless flyer games might also find Beam On appealing.
While not groundbreaking in terms of gameplay innovation, Beam On's unique approach to band promotion is noteworthy. It's a clever and engaging way to introduce Star Forest to a new generation of fans.
