    The 135th Rose Parade kicked off Monday as the world ushers in the start of 2024.

    With its petal-packed floats, marching bands and high-stepping horses, the parade travels 5½ miles along the streets of Pasadena.

    The theme this year is “Celebrating a World of Music: The Universal Language,” a message of hope and harmony in a time of war, labor strikes, and partisan political strife as a contentious American election year begins.

    “In a world of different cultures, beliefs, hopes, and dreams, one language unites us all — music,” Alex Aghajanian, president of the Tournament of Roses, said in a statement. “The sound, texture, rhythm, form, harmony, and expression meld together to move, soothe, excite and delight the world.”

    LOS ANGELES, November 3, 2020 (Newswire.com)
    –
     BTB, an active rhythm game, will soon launch a campaign through Kickstarter. BTB is a simple and fun rhythm game to play; players may fully concentrate, maximize the speed of the player’s response, and feel the excitement of the game.

    There are a variety of rhythm games that have been enjoyed through cell phones or tablets. However, it is hard to fully engage in the rhythm with a small screen with a delicate tap of the player’s finger. With BTB, players may hit/bang/strike the bat in the rhythm corresponding with the arrows that appear on the screen.

    “Due to the pandemic, most isolated themselves at home. How did you spend quality time during quarantine days?” asked Yoon Jae Lee, the creator of BTB. “Many suffered from boredom,” Yoon Jae Lee explained. “We believed we need more creative ideas to keep ourselves entertained at home!” With COVID-19 in 2020, the company has designed the body of the gamepad in the shape of a bat to overcome difficult times by playing games with exciting music.

    Instructions:

    The setup is very simple. For mobile phones, download the app from the Playstore or the App Store. For PC, download the app from the homepage or MS store, turn on the app and connect the bat pad via Bluetooth. Once the setup is all complete, the player then needs to select the genre, the music, the level, and press play. Also, there is free music is available via YouTube. The concept of the game is similar to Piano Tiles and DDR. The player needs to strike the arrow from the bat pad corresponding with the arrows that appear on the screen with music. All ages may enjoy playing the game anytime, anywhere.

    BTB will launch on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2020. The package includes the bat pad (body), phone/tablet stand, OTG cable (type C and 5pin), and a pair of drumsticks. The expected MSRP is currently set at 80 USD. Now on the campaign page, the early-bird backer can get a reward with a 50% discount.

    About BTB:
