Bit.Trip Beat hits the New Zealand App Store for iPhone and iPad
Out.now in New Zealand
Bit.Trip Beat has been approved by Apple in time for its UK release on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad tomorrow.
With its hyper retro graphics, chiptune soundtrack, and gameplay that echoes the classic Pong, Bit.Trip Beat is an odd mix of the old and new.
All three levels from the original WiiWare version of the game are present, but three more levels, exclusive to iOS users, are available for an extra £1.19/$1.99/€1.59.
Multiplayer is available through wi-fi and Bluetooth, with the added bonus of Game Center support.
Bit.Trip Beat costs $2.59 in New Zealand, which means $1.99 in the US and £1.19 in the UK. Bit.Trip Beat HD is considerably more expensive, costing $9.99 in New Zealand, $6.99 in the US, and £3.99 in the UK.
