Here’s one of the more unique applications that I’ve come across in a while, courtesy of Tim Hornyak over on CNet. Tiny Riot is a headbanging app for iPhone, which aims to serve as a form of catharsis for people in Japan. Here’s an excerpt from the developer:
After a traumatic experience our lives tend to go back to normal. Well, they’re not. Release… . We made this app as a release for our frustration with the uncertainty of post 3.11 Japan. We hope it can help you too. Headphones recommended.
The app simply requires you to shake the &%$# out of your iPhone and rock out Beavis and Butthead style until all your frustration has melted away.
Tiny Riot records a video of your metal moment as well, and then plots it along side others on this world map. As you can see, the app is winning over a number of fans beyond Japan’s borders already.
If you’d like to give Tiny Riot a try, it’s available over on the app store for 99 cents. In the meantime, check out the demo video below.
