Music, Neon light and Geometry. The perfect combination of pure joy
Music and light ( Beat Stomper) is ostensibly an endless one-touch platfomer. But it's got a little more going for it than that, and its mix of ideas is, at least, pretty intriguing.
Rather than the usual one touch controls, here you get two. You tap once to fly into the air, and then tap again to smash down. Hopefully you've positioned yourself so that you hit a platform when you land.
There's a rhythm action component here as well. Timing your jumps to the beat of the booming track going on behind the action gives you a much better chance than tapping randomly.
But while there's more going on here than usual, there's still the sense that the game is a little one-note. It's fun while it lasts, but you'll wander off to something a little meatier pretty quickly.
You're just tapping the screen then?
Pretty much, yeah. Although I guess that really describes any mobile game if you think about it. Anyway in this one you're controlling a pudgy neon block who's trying to ascend a series of platforms.
Tap once and you'll jump into the air. But that isn't enough. You need to tap again to shoot downwards into the welcoming flatness of one of the platforms.
If you're into quick-fire arcade platformers then sure, give it a go, but there are more interesting implementations of the genre on mobile.
While Beat Stomper does fizz and bubble from time to time, it doesn't quite have the staying power to really make that price point feasible for any but the most ardent of platforming fans.
