Tap Tap Revenge

Tap Tap Revenge is an awesome rhythm game created by Mike Lee and his Team over
at Tapulous, a company he founded after leaving Delicious Monster where he worked together
with Wil Shipley on the release of Delicious Library 2.

The game itself is quite simple: you have 3 lines on which glowing orbs are “falling” down.
You have to tap on them at the right moment to the right rhythm of the song playing when the
orbs reach the bottom line.
Additionally (if set in the menu) there might be arrows instead of orbs falling down, indicating
that you have to shake your iPhone/iPod Touch either left or right.
Talking about this “shake” thingy: I found it a little difficult to play shaking while tapping and I have to admit that I turned this off in the options.

Also, the Game can be played by two persons at the same time on one device (which is the greatest game up to now for 2 players sharing one device).

For starters, I would like to recommend to play through the tutorial, to get a feeling on how to
play on on how to do some wacky combo points.

The one player mode has 4 difficult levels selectable (Easy, Medium, Hard and of course Extreme).
For even a longer gaming experience, the game has the possibility to download new tracks (as soon as there are some released) from the Tapulous Website.



Overall, the game is just great. It has stunning graphics (for a rhythm Game) the concept of 2 players on one device is well made and great to play.
I enjoyed playing up to the normal level and trying to get some nasty high scores to be published on the Tapulous Leaderboard.
Currently, they are heading a Tournament on their website.
The Songs are well made, but again, there will be soon new ones to be released and hopefully,
there will be songs available for everybody’s taste.

I would strictly recommend this App to be the first one you install on your new Firmware 2.0 device,
as not only it is a freebie, but also a great and polished game.

You can download the game via iTunes Store or via this link: Tap Tap Revenge

Let the Tapping begin!

UPDATE: Tap Tap Revenge is now available as V1.1.
                   After installation of the Update, it is now possible to
                   download new songs!
