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, features simple tap-to-rise mechanics, supplemented by a limited-use jetpack for more precise maneuvering.
While the gameplay is familiar – a blend of Flappy Bird and Jetpack Joyride – the game's retro aesthetic and soundtrack effectively introduce the band. 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 children, thanks to its charming visuals and approachable musical style. However, adults seeking a less exploitative Flappy Bird alternative might also find Beam On appealing.
While not a revolutionary game, Beam On's innovative approach to band promotion is noteworthy. It's a clever and engaging way to introduce Star Forest to a wider audience.
