Tap Tap Revenge is a rhythm game by Tapulous available as an application for the iPhone OS. The game has a simple interface, while the game itself is quite similar to popular games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band. The goal of the game is to tap each of the colored balls when they reach the line at the bottom of the screen. If the ball is hit on the beat, the player gains points, but if not, it counts as a miss. There are also "shakes", which require the player to move the iPhone or iPod Touch to the right, left, or middle.
Development
Tap Tap Revenge was created and developed by Tapulous, which was a startup company at the time of release. The company creates applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch such as this application, Collage, Fortune, Twinkle, and Friend Book. Originally, the game was developed by Nate True for "jailbroken" (or hacked) iPhones and iPod Touches, and was called Tap Tap Revolution, after the Dance Dance Revolution series. Tapulous bought the game from True, and added features such as online tournaments, leader boards, and multi-player mode to the game. Tapulous hired a team of "all-star" game developers to work the game on US$1.8 million in raised funds.
Spinoffs and sequels
In October 2008, Tapulous announced that they were working on a Nine Inch Nails-branded version of Tap Tap Revenge, including a special Nine Inch Nails skin and 16 songs from the band's albums Ghosts I-IV and The Slip, some of which would be specially edited for the game. It has now been released as Tap Tap Revenge: Nine Inch Nails Edition.
In December 2008, Tapulous released Tap Tap Dance, an updated version of Tap Tap Revenge which features a revamped graphics engine and ten songs by well-known artists including Basement Jaxx and Daft Punk. The game also introduces two- and three-finger taps, and tap-and-holds (similar to chords in other rhythm games), and boss levels which are uniquely-styled and more challenging than standard songs.
Tapulous also released Christmas with Weezer, which features the new graphics engine and gameplay dynamics, and allows players to tap to a series of Christmas carols performed by rock band Weezer. The game also features a new Kids mode, in which the score rises no matter where you tap on the screen.
Tap Tap Revenge II will be available as a free update to Tap Tap Revenge in early 2009 and will feature the new graphics engine and gameplay dynamics. Tapulous has also hinted that the game will introduce a new achievements system.
