Beat City: Bitboxland
January 14, 2010 4:00 PM | Eric Caoili
If Beat It and 8bitone haven't satisfied your thirst for retro-styled music game/apps on the iPhone, turn your attention to db-db's Bitboxland, a beatbox and VJ tool with a game-like interface and 8-bit pixelart animations. It seems like more of a toy than a game, but you can apparently earn points by tapping different objects, allowing you to unlock more objects for the 8-bit scene.
As you can see in the video above, each object in Bitboxland makes a different sound when you touch them, with the sakura trees singing "la la las", the bullet train acting like a record scratch, and the cow grazing to the beat. You can also record up to ten performances, then play them back as a loop and add more sounds over that. It's a simple idea, but the presentation is very charming and it's all only $1.99 on the App Store!
