"Beam On: Endless Flyer Game Launches to Boost Virtual Band's Fame"

Sometimes a new game release might not seem particularly groundbreaking at first glance, but further investigation can reveal a unique twist. This is precisely the case with "Beam On: A Star Forest Adventure," an endless flyer that doubles as a promotional tool for the virtual band, Star Forest. If you're unfamiliar with Star Forest, think of them as akin to Gorillaz, without the virtual music production element, more focused on their animated personas.

"Beam On" serves as a companion piece to Star Forest's latest music video, blending the gameplay mechanics of "Flappy Bird" with elements reminiscent of "Jetpack Joyride." The controls are straightforward—tap to rise and avoid obstacles, with a limited-use jetpack for more precise navigation. While the game's design might not break new ground, its charming retro visuals and accompanying music effectively introduce players to the band.

Available now on the iOS App Store, "Beam On" targets a younger audience, yet its appeal extends to adults looking for a "Flappy Bird"-like experience that isn't designed to drain their wallets. With its cutesy graphics and safe musical style, it's easy to see why it resonates with kids. However, there's also a niche adult audience who might appreciate this game's simplicity and promotional angle.

Is "Beam On" a game-changer? Perhaps not, but it's certainly an innovative way to promote a virtual band. If "Beam On" doesn't catch your interest, don't worry.
