Riddim Ribbon On Sale For $1.99! + Exclusive FREE Imma Be + Rock That Body BEP Mashup

The game has now officially changed. This past week, Apple’s iTunes Store sold its 10 Billionth track, a staggering figure after only 6 1/2 years of existence. In reaching this digital milestone, music has completely cast off the vinyl and plastic that shackled it for so long, and is free to travel at light speed to previously uncharted areas, including, of course, rhythm-based iPhone / iPod gaming applications. Hmmm…do any jump to mind?

AMAZING FACT: iTunes just released their top-selling tracks of all time, and 6 of the top 10 are playable in our games. I Gotta Feeling (#1) and Boom Boom Pow (#3) by the Black Eyed Peas in RIDDIM RIBBON. Poker Face (#2) and Just Dance (#6) by Lady Gaga, Viva La Vida (#5) by Coldplay, and Tik Tok (#10) by Ke$ha in TAP TAP REVENGE.

How awesome is that?! To celebrate this beautiful partnership between chart-topping music and #1-downloaded gaming, we’re putting our latest, greatest app, RIDDIM RIBBON, ON SALE FOR $1.99 UNTIL THE END OF SUNDAY!!!

If you don’t have the game yet, this is the weekend to get it. If you have already got it, get a message out to your friends to pick it up, and get the Riddim rivalry going in your crew. But act fast; when this sale is over, it’s over!

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! As an added thank you to everyone, we’re also giving away for FREE the current #1 song on iTunes, Imma Be by The Black Eyed Peas, mashed up with Rock That Body (our very first mashup level in Riddim Ribbon). This is a limited time offer, so don’t miss out!

Playing the IMMA BE mashup level before Monday, March 1st also enters you in a chance to win two (2) tickets to see a live broadcast performance of the Black Eyed Peas during their LA concert on March 30, 2010 at one of the 500 select theaters across the United States. (Check your local theaters for exact showtimes/locations.)

I gotta feeling this is going to be a great RIDDIM RIBBON WEEKEND! So get in there, get the game, get the FREE new music, and GET ROLLING!

The Man: TIËSTO

The Jam: “KNOCK YOU OUT (FEAT. EMILY HAINES)“

OK people, this is not a drill. This is go time. We are now less than a week away from the launch of our brand-spanking new game, RIDDIM RIBBON, on February 8th!

Are you ready? Have you been eating your carrots, to improve your eyesight? Cleaning out your ears, to hear those beats? We hope so. To get you extra pumped up, we’ve completely redesigned this week’s featured Tiësto track “Knock You Out” with a SUPER-FRESH RIDDIM RIBBON THEME! That’s right, two powerhouse games, come together for one glorious song! It’s like King Kong and Godzilla having a dance off!

And no other DJ could handle the soundtrack to this massively magnificent mash-up but TIËSTO! If you’ve ever emerged from one of his sets, sweaty and squinting into the sunrise, then you know that he is a true innovator and master of mixology. Named “World’s #1 DJ” for 3 consecutive years by DJ Magazine, Tiësto is the unofficial muse of the Tapulous crew. His epic runs of house and trance music seem engineered specifically for tapping, and now for RIDING!

After your mind has been blown by the triple play of TTR, Riddim Ribbon, and Tiësto, check out the Tiësto 6-pack premium bundle in the Tap Track store, featuring the original theme for “Knock You Out,” “Ten Seconds To Sunrise,” and more!

The Tiësto Contest

Just north of Tapulous HQ, up in San Francisco, there is a billboard towering over SOMA. It features a giant picture of TIËSTO, watching over the cars as they come careening off the Bay Bridge, and advertises his concert at the Cow Palace this past November 2009. Seeing as it is now February 2010, and he long since rocked the house, we figured no one would miss this sign, and it would make an awesome grand prize this week. So we sent Ed up on a little stealth mission, to score that sweet pic.

24 hours in jail and $7500 in bail later, we decided to change the prizes. But they’re just as awesome, and can be yours in THE TIËSTO CONTEST!

The loot: One grand prize winner gets a pair of DJ-style headphones and a free copy of Riddim Ribbon! Five runner-up winners get a Tiësto album.

How to win: Challenge your friends on Tiësto’s Knock You Out (feat. Emily Haines). Each challenge you send with a score OVER 300,000 points counts as one contest entry. The player with the most entries at the end of the contest is the grand prize winner, the next five players are the runner-up winners.

The contest runs from Friday, February 5th at 12:01 AM PST until Monday, February 8th at 11:59 PM PST. You must send the challenge while online, during the contest period for entry into the contest. Sending the same challenge to multiple players only counts as a single entry!
