Beam On: A Star Forest Adventure – A Unique Band Promotion Disguised as an Endless Flyer

Beam On, a seemingly unremarkable endless flyer game, unexpectedly stands out due to its unique purpose: promoting the virtual band, Star Forest. This Flappy Bird-esque game, available 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 aren't groundbreaking (a blend of Flappy Bird and Jetpack Joyride), the charming retro visuals and music effectively introduce the band.

Star Forest, similar in concept to Gorillaz, serves as the game's focal point. Beam On acts as a companion piece to their latest music video, making the game a creative and engaging promotional tool. The game's target audience is children, thanks to its adorable aesthetics and approachable musical style. However, adults seeking a less exploitative Flappy Bird-style game might also find Beam On appealing.

While not revolutionary, Beam On's innovative approach to band promotion is noteworthy. It cleverly leverages a familiar game genre to engage a potential audience and introduce Star Forest's music.
