Thumper: Pocket Edition Coming to Android in Fall

Drool will finally bring its brand of rhythmic violence to Android.

Brace yourself – the rhythmic game Thumper is coming to Android devices this Fall. The announcement came via the game’s official Twitter account. Considering that Thumper: Pocket Edition is already thing for iOS, it’s about time Android users got their fill of high-octane racing and industrial beats.

If you’ve never played Thumper before, the premise is simple. You’re a metal space beetle, racing down a sleek futuristic highway and hitting panels to the music’s beat. Over time, different turns and obstacles – like laser grids and spikes – will appear, making life all the more difficult. You’ll even face off against bosses who demand perfect timing across long stretches of obstacles to properly conquer them.

Despite how sleek Thumper looks and runs, it can be incredible hectic. Prepare yourself for its trials beforehand (and also check out our interview with Drool for insight into its development). Along with PC, Thumper is available for wide range of platforms, including Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. It can also be played in virtual reality thanks to Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR.
