Sometimes, a new game release might not initially catch your eye, but then you stumble upon something unique that sets it apart. This is exactly what happened with Beam On: A Star Forest Adventure, an endless flyer that serves as a promotional tool for the virtual band, Star Forest. If you're unfamiliar with Star Forest, think of them as a digital ensemble akin to Gorillaz, but without the virtual music creation element, much like Hatsune Miku. Beam On complements Star Forest's latest music video, making it a fascinating companion piece.
In terms of gameplay, Beam On echoes the mechanics of Flappy Bird, with an added twist of Jetpack Joyride. Players tap to rise and fall, navigating through obstacles, and can use a limited-use jetpack for more precise flight. While the design may not be groundbreaking, it doesn't need to be. The game's charming retro visuals and engaging music effectively introduce players to the world of Star Forest.
Star vs- wait, wrong franchise Star Forest primarily targets a younger audience, and with its adorable visuals and safe musical style, it's easy to see why. However, there's likely a niche of adults who appreciate a Flappy Bird-style game without the microtransactions, and they might find Beam On appealing.
Is Beam On a game-changer? Perhaps not, but it's an intriguing method to promote a virtual band. If Beam On doesn't quite capture your interest, don't worry.
