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 a Game

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 by tapping to ascend and descend, utilizing a limited-use jetpack for enhanced control.

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, which effectively introduce the band. Star Forest, akin to Gorillaz in its virtual nature (though without the virtual music creation aspect), uses Beam On as a companion piece to its latest music video.

The game's target audience is primarily children, thanks to its charming visuals and upbeat, family-friendly music. However, adults seeking a less exploitative Flappy Bird-style game might also find Beam On appealing.

While not a revolutionary game, Beam On stands out as a creative and engaging method of promoting a virtual band. It's a fun, lighthearted experience that successfully blends gameplay with marketing.
