The amount of love and care the members of BTS put into any creative endeavo𒅌r knows no bounds for ARMY, the collective fan base who come from all stages and walks of life. On the heels of their break announcement, the group launched a mobile game in which anyone who downloads it can spend time with the group on a deserted island.
This isn't BTS's first foray into making games. There have been rhythm games, an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:isekai (other world) manageme🎃nt simulator called BTS World, and the narrative-based BTS Universe. BTS Island: In the SOEM is the latest in a series of love letters to their fans, and there are plenty of secrets💖 and obscure references only fans will get.

Whale Of A Logo
Before you open the game, you are greeted with a seemingly innocuous logo depicting the band members on the back of a purple whale. And sure, with the game taking place on an island, the idea isn't too far-fetched, however, that whale holds significant meaning for both BTS and fans.
The base of the whale is a song named Whalien 52, a story about the call of a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mysterious whale that has never been seen, and whose call never found a response. It reflects the loneliness and isolation often felt by adolescenꦛts and trying to find comfort. Recently😼, it has been featured as a metaphor showing the connection between BTS and their fanbase, as they ride on the back of the whale to the stars.

RM's God Of Destruction Reign Continues
Looking at BTS from the outside, you'd see the leader as charismatic and in control of his surroundings. If you were to dive deeper, however, you'd quickly realize that underneath the rapper's cool exterior lies someone who is adorably clumsy. So much so, that the other members often worry that anything he handles will be broken.
He doesn't escape that reputation in the game either. The whole reason the group 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ends up on a deserted island is that it was RM's turn to drive the boat, and he immediately crashed into the island. Eventually, you will unlock the kitchen, and once you do, you'll be able to grab any of members and put them in the kitchen to cook. When you place RM at the stove, it bursts into flames.

Gang-Yang The Calico Cat
A cute cat is wandering around the island, and stumbles upon our stranded septuplet. They immediately bond and name the calico Gang-yang, a nickname of member Park Jimin. He follows Jimin around, and they have little adventures too, such as getting stuck in a tree ♔aওnd enjoying the view for a while.
The calico cat originally popped up inside their 'Serendipity' video, while the lyrics inside the song refer to you as the cat coming to visit your beloved. Calico cats are known to be loyal and affectionate toward their loved ones, and are a rare occurrence. In the music video, the little cutie shows up again to sit in Jimin's lap.

ARMY Bombs Away
Bombs appearing in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:match-three games isn't a new occurrence, and it certainly isn't on the island. For ARMY though, it's a callback to the fandom's light stick for concerts and other live events. There is nothing like seeing it live; single, individual lights against a sea of darkness, as if it were the night sky.
In the game, you have standard bombs for a match-three title, but there are also things you can buy or get for free to decorate your island (that you have yet to fix your boat to leave). One of these items is an ARMY bomb with a stage. If you place any member on it, they will perform a snippet of one of their songs. It's a cute addition to the game.

They Sometimes Break The Fourth Wall
Whe𒐪n the members are idle, they will walk around and interact with the environment and with each oth🌟er if the conditions are right. The fun part, though, is that the members also interact with ARMY if the player pokes them.
Most of the time they'll respond with catchphrases, emojis, and other cute movements. However, sometimes when you interact with them, they'll acknowledge it by telling you outright to put them down and stop poking them. The message they say to the player the most is that they miss them, which is appropriate after announcing a break to focus on their personal projects.

The Member-Created Stages
BTS were involved in every artistic aspect of the game: they produced some music, they created the look and personalities of their in-game personas, and rapper Suga made the title screen theme song. This isn't an anomaly either — they've been involved with some aspects of their other game titles, but BTS Island was their most in-depth dive into its production.
Scattered throughout the levels are puzzles that were personally designed by each of the members. Jungkook's levels (so far) have been the most challenging, while J-Hope's have been on the easier side, with plenty of power-up opportunities. Each member-designed level is touched with just a bit of their personality and love.

They Help You With The Power Of Dance
The true power of BTS is in their dance moves🔯, and Island just proves𝄹 it. Each level has one of the guys watching your puzzle solving and cheering you on. Once you build up their special meter with the items used, they will instantly grow on your screen and bust a quick dance move out.
The force of that move creates either an ARMY or BTS logo, which activates and explodes with pure excitement and takes out all icons in the vicinity. So far, Suga 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:performing choreography from the song On has been a favorite.
