Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know about our awesome Hip Hop inspired rhythm action game B-Boy Beats. It's due for release on the 14th February and we think it's gonna kick some serious a$$!! If you like Tap Tap or Rock Band but get bored by the bland game-play and dull music selection then B-Boy Beats is for you. Featuring 17 great Hip Hop tracks from up and coming underground artists, unique game-play where your finger become virtual legs and 10 slick breakdancing moves to learn you'll bound to have a good time. Unless you suck that is! Here's the preview video and some screens...
I get repetitive strain injury just looking at this one. Looks mental, not a big hiphop fan though. Can I play my own music ???
Just in case you were wondering that movie isnt recorded in real time!! There isnt a play own music option in this first version. We wanted to make sure each 'level' was designed for the best game-play possible and that just isnt possible with proceedurely generated levels. A free play option where you can make up your own moves/routine to your own music would be cool for future updates. As ever we'd love to hear your ideas! P PS you can follow news on the final stages of the game development and be in with a chance to win promo codes by following us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/taggames
Yep, it looks real cool, I think I'll just have to get used to the music. Haven't listened to hip-hop since 1984! I liked rock-band lite, but I'm not too mad about the music selection. This one seems to have gameplay that's unique enough to win me over. I liked the music in CJS, so I hope this will have quality too.
it should have been, it kind of makes the game look foolish and doesn't give anyone a good sense of how fast the gameplay is.
Hey Dogmeat, we'll be getting a straight gameplay demo vid (in normal speed) out in the near future. This is just over double speed, so don't worry it won't be quite that hardcore All though I will warn you that some of the final levels on hard mode are super-fast, but totally awesome. Also, as someone who isn't a hip hop fan, let me tell you that the music in this is totally awesome - Tag Games have done a superb job of finding the quirkest and funkest upcoming acts out their for us!
Wow! I like it! Haha catchy music and a new gameplay that I haven't really seen before. Also, I really liked the loading screen. I'll be keeping an eye out for this.
We've got approval from Apple and will be launching this very Sunday (Valentine's Day) - we're really excited and hope you guys are going to love this game as much as we do! Also, for those looking for a more in-depth preview, check out:
cant wait for this too, looks good. hopefully this can cheer me up, was dissappointed with riddim ribbon
Yeah, do follow @mobilepie and @taggames - there may be a few promo giveaways at some point! I'm sure it will - the game IS awesome and only ONE day away BTW check out my interview on the game over at AppGamer.net!
nice unique gameplay will it have an instance where you need to do some flares like spinning and tumbling
We did have a flare in, but replaced it with a freeze move which is more fun to do Early levels are pretty much simple steps like in the TA preview vid, but later ones have sliding moves - you can do the moonwalk - and then your thumb and ring finger come in for your hands, so you can do some flip style moves! Just over 24 hours to go before launch - I'm really excited
