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, avoiding obstacles with simple tap controls and utilizing a limited-use jetpack for precision maneuvering. The game's design, while not groundbreaking, effectively showcases the band's retro-inspired visuals and music.

Think Flappy Bird meets Jetpack Joyride. The gameplay is straightforward: tap to ascend and descend, avoiding collisions. A limited-use jetpack adds a layer of strategic depth. While the gameplay mechanics aren't revolutionary, the charming retro aesthetic and soundtrack successfully introduce Star Forest to a potential audience.

Primarily targeting a younger audience with its cute visuals and approachable musical style, Beam On also appeals to adults seeking a less exploitative alternative to similar games. While not a game-changer, it's a clever and engaging marketing strategy for a virtual band, reminiscent of Gorillaz in its approach.
