Skelanimals Dance Party Review
It's time to put your T-Pain hat on because Skelanimals Dance Party by Flying Penguin is ready to throw more AutoTune at you than your brain can handle. In this touch rhythm-game fans can now indulge in their love of Skelanimals while watching their favorite zombie creatures bopping away to each of the game's 10 available tracks. The controls are fairly standard for a tap-based title and players can follow a beat-bar as it slowly works its way clockwise around the screen, tapping, hol…

Guitar Hero Review
It seems that when it rains at Activision, you can expect triple-A titles to pour on to the App Store. The (in)famous Guitar Hero franchise has landed on the iPhone and has almost literally blown the opposition out of the water with years of rhythm game design being packed in to this dense little App. Gamers will get a chance to play the guitar and bass in this title, giving you more bang for your buck as you attempt to master each instrument and unlock new instruments and outfits to…

Sudden Tap Review
You have to admire a developer that's so in to what they love that they create a game to demonstrate that passion. Sudden Tap by Sudden Creations is an Ouendan-style music-rhythm game that features music from a band called (surprise, surprise) Sudden! Sudden Tap uses a modified and simplified version of the Ouendan note-tapping system, with notes appearing in labeled order and counting down the specific time they need to be tapped by using a glowing border. For those not familiar with…

Nirvana Revenge Review
Nirvana joins other artists like Lady Gaga, Dave Matthews, Metallica and Justin Bieber in getting an exclusive Tap Tap game for iDevices. Nirvana Revenge is Tapulous' band exclusive title that features not only 13 well known tracks, but a selection of audio clips from interviews with the band to introduce each song. There's no major deviation from the usual formula for Nirvana Revenge, with most tracks featuring three lanes for 'beats' so the player can tap in time to their chosen son…

Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion! Review
The lead-up to the release of Linkin Park's new beat'em-up inspired game '8-Bit Rebellion' was certainly an interesting one. Friends who professed their love for the band were immediately excited; friends who professed their hatred were immediately turned off; and there was me, stuck in the middle hoping that developer Artificial Life had created more than just an interactive, branded marketing tool. 8-Bit keeps things ratcheted back with basic movement and attacking controls using to…

The Impossible Game Review
Originally an XBox 360 Arcade title, The Impossible Game has now made a home for itself on the App Store, bringing whole bags of frustration that will either inspire you to victory or crush your spirit in anger. The premise for The Impossible Game is simple: Finish the level. There's only one level to complete, but getting to the end will require sharp reflexes and a keen memory to get there intact. When you begin, your block will slide out of control along the level leaving you to ta…

iMusic Puzzle Review
One feature that's lacking from a lot of music based games is the ability to bring iTunes in to the mix. iMusic Puzzle by I-play experiments with this idea by turning your iTunes catalog in to a series of arcade-style puzzles. iMusic splits tracks from iTunes in to tiny chunks that you have to sort and reorder to pass. These are represented by squares that you slide in to place in order to pass. Occasionally you'll run across bonus modes like a match-two or sorting game, but the basic…

Likwid Review
Fans of music based games and abstract puzzle solving will probably look at Likwid by FunMobility and say, 'Oh yeah, I've played that game before'. But instead of pointing fingers over who did what first, lets just admit that there's something about this particle-stream gameplay that's positively fascinating to play with. Instead of pretending to play an instrument with taps or swipes, players need to activate cogs by passing particles of the correct color over them. This is done by m…

muBlip Review
I'm not sure if I've somehow been co-opted in to an educational game while playing muBlip by para9. On the face of it the game is an Ouendan-style rhythm game with fresh electronic chiptune beats, but to mix things up the game uses a Simon-says watch and repeat set up to add an amazing new kind of challenge to the genre. Each track is broken up in to phrases where the player watches the computer play the beat using on screen patterns and then must repeat the phrase as accurately as po…

Radio Flare REDUX Review
The rhythm action genre is a rare one. Aside from Rez not many games have done it well. Radio Flare Redux (RFR) is here to change all that with some good ol fashioned shoot'em up action. Piloting your ship and making waste of all in your path is standard for a shmup but doing it all to the beat of some high quality music makes this quite the experience. RFR uses a duel finger control scheme. Your left thumb controls your ship, while your right locks onto enemies. You can lock onto mul…

BOOM SHAKE Review
How many times have you played a rhythm game and thought to yourself, "Man, I wish I was able to play my favourite songs"? Boom Shake by apalms has come to the rescue. On the outside it might look like a Tap Tap Revenge clone using a turntable, but its the ability to create and share level tracks for any piece of music you have on your phone that makes this title stand out. There are five moves when playing a song in Boom Shake. Swipe left or right, turn left or right, or snapping the…

Thumpies Review
Rhythm games are fun right? People like furry creatures right? Well what if there was a game that combined them? Thumpies by Big Blue Bubble is a game where you tap drums or mushrooms and furry heads bounce on them in order to fill a score meter, and eventually create a song. Control consists of tapping the appropriate drum when a Thumpy hits it. If you continue to be accurate in your timing, the Thumpy will become electric and your score will double, completing the current track much…

B-Boy Beats Review
It's always nice to see new attempts at innovative gameplay within the rhythm genre. B-Boy Beats is a rhythm game where you travel around New York engaging in dance battles with hip hop backing, using your fingers in the place of legs as you cut up the dance mat. Control is very reminiscent of the Ouendan series on the DS. You use your fingers to tap or slide along circles in time with the music, and the better you do, the higher your score and multiplier goes. The controls themselves…

Riddim Ribbon feat. The Black Eyed Peas Review
Tapulous has made some of the better music and rhythm games on the iphone with their well recieved 'Tap Tap Revenge' series. Now they're trying a new take on the rhythm genre with Riddim Ribbon. Similar in look to the indie PC game Audiosurf, players ride a wave of the music chosen, but sadly that's where the similarities end. Players tilt their iphone to move left and right along the track. The aim of the game is to keep on the small road that moves in time to the beat. Along the roa…

Rhythm Racer Review
Rhythm Racer is a free futuristic 3D racing game which combines elements of “F-Zero” and “Guitar Hero” to deliver a fast paced, high volume racing experience which is unlike anything you've ever seen before. The goal of the game is to keep the music flowing and collect points by tiling your iphone and driving your ship through the rings and coloured spheres which appear on the track. Like Guitar Hero, the game will let you miss a few beats, however if you miss…
