April 4, 200917 yr Details are a bit sparse for now, but we’ve now heard whispers from multiple sources that Tapulous plans to release a version of their popular iPhone music game, Tap Tap Revenge, themed around British alt-rock band Coldplay early next week. This isn’t the first time the company has partnered with a band for premium releases; December of 2008 saw the Weezer-branded “Christmas with Weezer” edition, and an NIN edition was released last September. The application has been submitted to the app store, and will likely see a release on Monday night or Tuesday morning. No whispers of pricing just yet. Both the Weezer and Nine Inch Nails releases went for $4.99 at the time of their release, though the Weezer edition has since dropped to $1.99 (presumably due to its Christmas theme being a bit less relevant now). As such, it is quite likely the Coldplay edition will launch for around the $4.99 price. As for content, we’re told that it’ll be made primarily of recent popular content, though we’re also told that it will feature at least one remix from outside of their standard discography. http://scooopy.net/2009/04/04/tapulous-to-release-coldplay-edition-of-tap-tap-revenge-next-week/
April 4, 200917 yr i've been hoping they'd do this for awhile!!:D:D THIS IS SO AWESOME!!:dance::dance: I can't wait to get it!!:D:D:D
April 4, 200917 yr What on earth is tapulous??\ edit: nvm. Just Googled them. Doesn't seem terribly impressive to me. :shrug:
April 9, 200917 yr MY sister has an Ipod Touch and It just cliced on me that I knew it was familiar to me when I saw the tap tap logo...Oh Yeah I saw it on the news feed.. She doesnt have the coldplay song...but there is a song there that has the title ' Tap Tap Dmoniation song' and there is a part that suddenly reminds me and my sister( we were playing 2players) the song 'Viva La Vida' When the song goes OAAHH OHHHH OHHH it really does sound like coldplay! ANd its part of the song!
April 10, 200917 yr oooh...suffering from finger cramps playing this game. even on Medium. but it's a really awesome game! so who here's aced this game on Extreme then? :p
April 10, 200917 yr ooooh...good on ya! :D i'm struggling with the Hard tracks already. & Viva La Vida is an unlockable "boss" track. daym.
April 10, 200917 yr I love this game, there is just one thing I don't get: some of the white blocks have a yellow 'tale'. The tutorial says 'tap and hold' but I don't get it :inquisitive: When I tap the screen to hold them, the game pauses. What do you have to do with them?
April 10, 200917 yr Tap on the block when it hits the little market at the botom, and hold. If you tap at anytime above that point it pauses the game.
April 10, 200917 yr Je suis addicted. Reckon later, like in a few months time, we could download new tracks to add to it?
April 10, 200917 yr Oh ok, so you tap them like the others, but in stead of letting go immediately you hold the market untill the next block comes down? Gonna try that out right now :dance:
April 10, 200917 yr Yeah, would also love to see the ENTIRE coldplay catalogue on tap tap!!! Question: what to you do with the arrow thingys? the tutorial doesnt explain it well.
April 10, 200917 yr You shake the phone the way the arrow points. And woo! Just got 100% accuracy on Clocks :cool:.
April 10, 200917 yr I unlocked Thin White Duke Mix :cool:, And it makes me appreciate the mix more, it's quite funky actually! :P
April 10, 200917 yr I still can't get into "Revenge mode". I shake and nothing happens. I do believe it may be affecting my score.
April 12, 200917 yr i've absolutely no clue either how the Revenge Mode works...it isn't the bits of the songs when the butterflies come out, right?
April 18, 200917 yr Author iLike joins Tapulous for 'Tap Tap Coldplay' promotion Music website iLike has joined forces with iPhone developer Tapulous to help promote the recently released themed version of its hit music/rhythm game, Tap Tap Coldplay, reports Pocket Gamer (UK). "We're giving the 2.9 million Coldplay fans on iLike something to tap about," says iLike president Ali Partovi. This paid version of Tap Tap Revenge features themed graphics and a collection of hits from depressed crooners Coldplay, just as Tapulous has previously done with Nine Inch Nails and Weezer. But iLike is well known for either predicting the hits with surprising accuracy, or actively causing songs to become hits on iTunes. "Every single album we've promoted in the past year, whether by iconic stars or emerging artists, has debuted in the iTunes top 10 albums, and most of them in the top three," Partovi recently blogged. It'll be interesting to see if iLike's encouragement of Tap Tap Coldplay has an effect on the game's sales or, indeed, Coldplay's music currently on iTunes. Pretend rebel Katy Perry reported seeing an increase in iTunes sales after featuring one of her songs on the free version of Tap Tap Revenge, so it seems clear that the App Store and iTunes are very closely related. http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Tap+Tap+Coldplay/news.asp?c=12782
