Nimble-fingered fans of rock band Kings Of Leon will be glad to know that the popular Tap Tap Revenge franchise is back again with another artist-themed iPhone game. Tapulous has announced that it has joined forces with the band to launch the Kings Of Leon Revenge game on the AppStore. The game sports some interesting new features, and, more importantly, brings all the hottest songs from Kings Of Leon to the finger-tapping masses.
If you’re looking to play Tap Tap Revenge across a range of different bands’ songs, KOL Tap Tap Revenge isn’t for you. This here title is reserved for fans looking for a finger-stumbling Tap Tap Revenge game that comes bundled wtih 10 of KOL’s hit songs. The $4.99 entry fee gets you tracks like “Use Somebody,” “Sex On Fire,” “Be Somebody,” and “Crawl” to listen to as you try to match the beat with your fingers. And, as a bonus, Tapulous will give you 100 free credits in Tap Tap Revenge, good for music and merchandise purchases in the Tap Tap Store.
The idea behind to game is to tap your fingers on the screen as dots (synchronized to the beat) scroll to the bottom of your iPhone’s screen. As you hit more dots on time, the “multi meter” on the upper left-hand corner of the screen will fill up, giving you more points. The “tap accuracy” meter in the upper right corner shows you whether you’re hitting the dots too early, too fast, or just on time.
There are four difficulty levels, ranging from easy to extreme difficulty. Not to toot our own horn, but we fare just fine on the “hard” difficulty setting. The “extreme” setting, on the other hand, is just evil. No matter what kind of Tap Tap Revenge skillz you think you posses, you’ll find a challenge in KOL Revenge. The game also includes an online Battle mode that allows you to showdown with a buddy over a Bluetooth connection.
Here’s the complete track list:
- Use Somebody
- Crawl
- The Bucket
- Be Somebody
- On Call
- McFearless
- Notion
- Black Tumbnail
- True Love Way
- Sex On Fire
There’s also a news feed, band bio, band tour dates and a chat room to keep you up to date on the latest news from your favorite rockstars.
