Beam On: A Star Forest Adventure – A Unique Band Promotion Disguised as a Game
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, tasks players with navigating obstacles by tapping to ascend and descend, utilizing a limited-use jetpack for precision maneuvers.
While the gameplay mechanics borrow from established titles like Flappy Bird and Jetpack Joyride, the game's charm lies in its retro aesthetics and soundtrack, effectively introducing the band to a wider audience. Star Forest, similar in concept to Gorillaz, is a virtual band whose music video complements the game, making Beam On a unique companion piece.
Primarily targeting a younger demographic with its charming visuals and approachable musical style, Beam On also appeals to adults seeking a less exploitative alternative to similar endless runner games. While not revolutionary, its innovative promotional strategy and enjoyable gameplay make it a worthwhile experience.
