Halfbrick Announces Band Stars
September 16th, in the year of our Lord 2013; Brisbane,
Australia – The debut game from new Australian
developer Six Foot Kid is being funded, guided and published by
Halfbrick, the veteran studio that created Fruit Ninja, and
Jetpack Joyride.
Over the past year, Halfbrick has worked in tandem with Six Foot
Kid to bring Band Stars to life. Now together the two developers
can officially announce that the game will be launching
worldwide in 2013, and is also available today in Australia and
Canada as test markets.
Band Stars is all about the music! Players can form a band with
any of the colorful characters available, pick a catchy name and
hit the recording studio. Starting with small song releases on
the Local Charts, the aim is to become the world’s biggest band
by releasing new songs, building a fan base and hiring new band
members.
Players can assign individual rockers to any instrument, and
match the song genre with a perfect lyrical theme. Recording is
where all the magic takes place, and then it’s up to a
professional mixer to prepare the song for a commercial release.
If everyone has been assigned to their roles wisely, the
recording goes without a hitch, and the stars align for a bit of
good fortune, players will see their band rocketing up the
charts in no time.
Fleshing out the content is a full training system, character
and band challenges, hiring new members and even pimping out
your studio with new goodies to help the creative juices flow!
Band Stars will be released as a free download on the App Store
worldwide later in 2013, with Australian and Canadian players
able to download the game now.
