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

Sometimes, a new game release might not seem particularly groundbreaking at first glance. However, upon deeper research, it can reveal unique aspects that set it apart. This is precisely the case with Beam On: A Star Forest Adventure, an endless flyer that, at its core, serves as a promotional tool for the virtual band, Star Forest.

If you're unfamiliar with Star Forest, think of them as akin to Gorillaz or Hatsune Miku, but more in the vein of the former since they don't involve virtual music creation. Beam On acts as a companion piece to Star Forest's latest music video, blending the band's identity with interactive gameplay.

The gameplay mechanics of Beam On are reminiscent of Flappy Bird, with a dash of Jetpack Joyride. Players tap to control the rise and fall of their character, while a limited-use jetpack adds a layer of precision to the flight. Although the design isn't groundbreaking, the retro visuals and catchy music effectively introduce players to the world of Star Forest.

Star vs- wait, wrong franchise Star Forest primarily targets a younger audience, which is evident from its cutesy visuals and family-friendly music. However, there's likely a niche of adult gamers who appreciate a Flappy Bird-like experience without the aggressive monetization, and they might find Beam On appealing.

While Beam On may not be a game-changer in the mobile gaming world, it's an innovative approach to promoting a virtual band. If this game doesn't quite capture your interest, don't worry.
