B-BOY BEATS – BREAKING ALL OVER THE APP STORE!

Underground Hip Hop soundtrack, innovative game-play and heaps of attitude…

DUNDEE, UK – 15th February 2010. Scottish iPhone publisher Tag Games and Bristol based developer Mobile Pie are today pleased to announce the launch of their awesome hip hop rhythm action game B-Boy Beats.

Paul Farley Managing Director of Tag Games said “It’s been a pleasure working with the talented team at Mobile Pie on B-Boy Beats. I’m sure that iPhone and iPod Touch gamers will find the mix of innovative game-play and fresh hip hop tracks a refreshing change from the huge number of run of the mill music games on the App Store. We hope that this is the start of a franchise that will continue to innovate and thrill audiences for years to come.”

He is also rumoured to have yelped “word up!” but this is currently unsubstantiated!

Will Norton creative producer at Mobile Pie and self-confessed hip hop fanboy added "It's great to see B-Boy Beats to go live after over 6 months of hard work, love and devotion. It's especially heartening to hear such positive response from gamers too, which makes all the effort worthwhile!"

B-Boy Beats is available now from the App Store!
