Halfbrick preps to bring Band Stars to mobile this year

Fruit Ninja developer Halfbrick has announced plans to fund and publish Band Stars, an upcoming mobile game from fellow Australian developer Six Foot Kid. The game challenges players to form a band using a variety of “colorful” characters, and then push that band to the level of superstardom by releasing new songs, hiring additional band members, building a fan base and more.

As players record songs, they’re challenged with combining the right genres of lyrics and music.
