Resolute Games has a free preview release of Thumstruck Free (Free), which showcases an upcoming music-based rhythm game for the iPhone/iPod Touch that “allows players to physically touch the music” according to their CEO, Chris Przybyszewski. With the popularity and success of Tap Tap Revenge, which recently announced the licensing of Nine Inch Nails music for their next game, these kind of rhythm games are a great way to get record labels music out into the hands of the mobile public.
In Thumstruck, you match colored balls with their corresponding colored lines, timed to the music which is provided by Ardent Records band, Skillet. The full version of the game will be available in November for $4.99, and will feature other Ardent Record artists and original music by the American Guitar Institute, among others.

- Match the elemental powers of Ice, Fire, and Lightening
- Earn more points by landing successive combination multipliers
- “ThumStruck Theme” by American Guitar Institute
- Instrumental music by Ardent Records artist Skillet performing their hit song “Vaporâ€
