beam-onStar Forest has launched a new mobile video game, ‘Beam On: A Star Forest Quest.’ Beginning today, January 31, players can download the game in the Apple App Store and begin the heart-pounding arcade action with a vibrant, music-infused universe as they guide Twig, the bearded dragon guitarist, on his epic quest for glory, rhythm, and the legendary Unicus — the mystical star guitar that calls to him. (The ‘Beam On’ game tutorial with Twig is available here.)

In this mobile video game, players will navigate through the ever-changing landscapes of Star Forest with rhythm and flair. With only a homemade jetpack and sharp reflexes, Twig must dodge swarms of cat-eye fly swarms, glowing Slugzz, and other obstacles on his journey to reclaim the elusive Unicus and shred the ultimate solo.

Beam On: A Star Forest Quest serves as a companion piece to the Star Forest virtual band’s “Beam On” music video, giving fans a chance to directly interact with the same world and characters they’ve come to love. Fans may also notice an easter egg in the music video as this is the same game Twig is playing at the end.
