Introducing *Beam On: A Star Forest Adventure*, an endless flyer game that's not just another entry in the genre but a creative promotional tool for the virtual band, Star Forest. If you're unfamiliar with Star Forest, think of them as akin to Gorillaz, but without the virtual music production element. *Beam On* serves as a companion piece to their latest music video, blending the thrill of gaming with the allure of music.
In *Beam On*, the gameplay mechanics echo the simplicity and challenge of *Flappy Bird*, with an added twist reminiscent of *Jetpack Joyride*. Players navigate through obstacles using the familiar tap-to-rise and fall controls, but with the added feature of a limited-use jetpack for more precise flight control. While the game's design may not break new ground, it's the charming retro visuals and the band's music that set it apart, effectively introducing Star Forest to a broader audience.
Currently available on the iOS App Store, *Beam On* is primarily aimed at kids, thanks to its cutesy visuals and safe musical style. However, it may also appeal to adult gamers looking for a *Flappy Bird*-like experience that's free from aggressive monetization tactics. While it might not be a groundbreaking title, *Beam On* stands out as an innovative way to promote a virtual band.
