Beat Box is a spin-off of the fairly popular app iDaft Jamming. Make the box jump to the beat of catchy tunes to complete the levels in this addictive rhythm-based jumper. The obstacles in the levels are neatly synced with the music so the jumping respects the catchy beats. This makes this game not as impossible to complete as other games in the genre. You have the option to restart the level from unlocked check points! (but who needs check points anyway!?...) All music in the game is from NewGrounds.com. (CC)Artists are all credited within the app.
