Tapulous unleashed Riddim Ribbon with Black Eyed Peas

Tapulous has launched its latest iPhone/iPod touch gaming title, this time teaming up with the Black Eyed Peas (Boom Boom Pow, I Gotta Feeling, and Meet Me Halfway) to introduce Riddim Ribbon. Downloadable levels from Tiësto, Benny Benassi and others are also promised.

Described as a music racing game. As the song plays your job is to keep your ball on an infinite yellow rubbon, tilting your iPhone back and forth to keep it on the level. The iPhone’s accelerometer senses which way you are tilting the device and translates that into twisting controls for the ribbon racing.

“Each fork in the ribbon presents a new direction for you to take the mix of the song. Jump the ramps to reach upper levels, where wild audio effects kick in and the sound becomes more uniquely yours. Roll over pebbles and hit targets to maintain your speed through the checkpoints, but watch out for beat-dropping obstacles  - you’ll need to flick your phone to jump over them! If you veer off the target line too long, instruments start fading, the music slows down, and the track falls apart. Then you’ll certainly lose the crowd, which is a DJ’s worst nightmare. The better you play the game, the better the song sounds!”

The title costs $2.99 (UK LINK). The developer hopes it has another hit on its hands of the scale of Tap Tap Revenge, which has itself been downloaded 25 million times.

For a limited time only, you get a free MP3 remix of Meet Me Halfway, downloaded straight to your iTunes library, when you purchase the game. People who purchase the game in the first 72 hours will get 100 free credits in Tap Tap Revenge 3, enough to purchase any of the company’s premium 2-track bundles.
