Beam On: A Star Force Quest is an endless flyer made to promote a virtual band

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 clever promotional tool for the virtual band, Star Forest. This Flappy Bird-esque game, available now on the iOS App Store, tasks players with navigating a course, tapping to ascend and descend, with a limited-use jetpack for precision maneuvering.

While the gameplay mechanics borrow from familiar titles like Flappy Bird and Jetpack Joyride, the game's charm lies in its retro aesthetic and soundtrack, effectively introducing the band to a wider audience. Star Forest, similar in concept to Gorillaz, uses Beam On as a companion piece to their latest music video.

The game's target audience is primarily children, thanks to its cute visuals and approachable musical style. However, its simplicity and lack of in-app purchases could appeal to adults seeking a less frustrating Flappy Bird alternative.

While not groundbreaking, Beam On is a creative and engaging promotional strategy. It successfully blends gameplay with band promotion, making it a noteworthy, if not revolutionary, addition to the mobile gaming landscape.
