Thumpies
Out on iTunes
Big Blue Bubble Inc. announced today
that Thumpies, a truly original beat matching game, is released today for iPhone/iPod
Touch. Special version designed for iPad will be available on the launch date.
WiiWare and PC versions will follow up shortly.
Thumpies is a unique rhythm based
music game for players of all ages. The best way to describe Thumpies is a
rhythm game crossed with juggling. Players tap the screen to match the beat of
bouncing Thumpies, creating layers of a song. If the player taps the targets in
time, their Thump-o-Meter slowly rises, but if the player misses or taps out of
time, the meter falls. Unlike typical rhythm based games, Thumpies uses a
mechanic of bouncing in time instead of just a series of notes.
The quirky art design of Thumpies is
accompanied by a unique musical score composed by award winning composer and
industry veteran David Kerr. The music was crafted with game play in mind,
giving the player a harmonizing experience.
Players also have the chance to
unlock progressively bizarre Thumpies characters by collecting different colored
butterflies. But be warned, hungry Thumpies might just eat them up before you
get a chance to catch them!
Beware Internet Users! The Thumpies
are on the loose and have taken over their own Facebook page! They want to
invite all humanoids to a very special Live Chat . . . do you dare converse with
the Thumpies?
Thumpies is a game that will
keep people of all ages hooked with its addictive, quirky and stylistic
gameplay. For more information, check out
