Tap Tap Revenge

Tap Tap Revenge is a free arcade-style musical-rhythm game for the iPhone and iPod touch that draws from various aspects of it's console predecessors.

History

Tap Tap Revenge was originally introduced to jail-broken iPhones/iPod Touches in Summer on 2007. Acquired and further developed by the Palo Alto-based Tapulous Inc, Tap Tap Revenge is the officially Apple-approved version of the game. It was originally titled "Tap Tap Revolution" as an obvious nod towards the oh-so-famous "Dance Dance Revolution" games.

Currently, TTR is free on the iTunes Applications Store, and has remained at the top of the charts since it's July 11th 2008 release.

Gameplay

TTR plays a lot like other famous rhythm games. There is a note "highway" consisting of three "beams" of light that start at the top of the screen. Little bubbles float down these beams to the bottom of the screen in rhythm with the included songs. The object of the game is to tap the bubbles when they hit the bottom area of the screen. There also is a second aspect of gameplay that requires you to shake the device left, right, or forward in rhythm, making use of the iPhone's accelerometer.

There is also a local multiplayer mode in TTR. This involves one person sitting on each end of the device, with a separate 3-beam highway decending from the side opposite the player. Both players play the exact same notes head to head, and compete for the highest score.

Extra Content

TTR features extra content in the form of free downloadable songs for the 4 difficulty levels. Many times there are new songs released every week. Each song is specific to the difficulty level it belongs, and most songs cannot be played on more than one difficulty.

The developer, Tapulous, also has regular TTR tournaments, with the announcement and information automatically updating directly to the game if the user is online. These contests feature iTunes gift cards as prizes.
