Beatbuddy Tale of the Guardians Now Available
Twain Harte, CA – August 6, in the year of our Lord 2013
– Reverb Publishing announced today that the mystical,
underwater music-adventure Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians is
now available worldwide on PC, Mac, and Linux. Developed by the
funky German indie developer THREAKS, Beatbuddy: Tale of the
Guardians uniquely combines gorgeous hand-painted artwork with
challenging puzzle-platforming gameplay that is synchronized to
the rhythm of vibrant music from world-renowned artists.
“Beatbuddy is the exact experience we wanted to deliver,” said
Wolf Lang, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of THREAKS. “What started as a
student project to sync sound in an innovative, engaging video
game has become a completely new way to experience music and
gameplay together. On behalf of the THREAKS team, we hope that
players have a blast as they explore the mystical world of
Symphonia.”
Winner of ‘Best Art’ and ‘Best Sound’ in Intel’s 2012 Level Up
Game Demo Contest, Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians tells the
story of an ethereal, blue creature – Beatbuddy - who is awoken
from his eternal slumber in order to save the world of Symphonia
from losing musical freedom forever to Prince Maestro.
Beatbuddy’s quest takes him to a series of worlds where he
encounters vibrant characters, such as Harmony, Clef, Trebble,
and Quaver, who aid him as he opens paths and solve puzzles on
his journey.
THREAKS has created a rich, interactive experience utilizing its
patent-pending sound technology that syncs in-game animations
and environmental elements with the rhythm, encouraging players
to “play to the beat” of the music in order to complete the
various challenges. Featuring tunes composed by hot trending DJs
and musicians including Grammy-nominated composer Austin
Wintory, every striking 2D hand-painted level incorporates a
different song, creating unique rhythmic challenges that add to
the tremendously refreshing Beatbuddy experience.
Developed by THREAKS and published by Reverb Publishing,
Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians is available at suggested
retail price of $14.99. In celebration of the game’s release,
Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians is 10% off on Steam for a
