Get your dramamine ready, Tag Games has released their spinning action puzzler to the App Store for $4.99. Rock’n’Roll [App Store] is an accelerometer and touchscreen based version of the developer’s highly rated mobile title:
The story behind Rock’n’Roll is a familiar concoction of friendship, music, kidnapping and blown fuses! You play as ‘Roll’, a rather well rounded character, who must enter the spinning mazes of Flint Island in an effort to recover the Evil Sky Spirits musical notes and save his best friend ‘Roll’ from imprisonment.Rock’n’Roll is an incredibly simple game to pick up and play, just rotate the maze left and right using either motion sensing or touch controls and Roll magically falls through it by the power of gravity! Collect all the musical notes in a maze to escape. Complete them all and the Evil Sky Spirit just might release Roll.
The game features 30 mazes across three different environments and offers two modes of play: quest and race against the clock.

I get a crash consistently on startup with my 3G 2.1 According to the reviews in iTunes, it seems I’m not alone.

Hey Jeff I got this game and the same crash bug on the story pages. Turned iPhone on and off and it seems to be fine now. I expect the developer will have a fix within a day or two in any case. Not the first or last time this happens as the smaller development teams work with the new hardware.
For what its worth - stick in there. I’m really enjoying the game. It isn’t anywhere near as sickening to play as watching over someones shoulder. Onto the third set of mazes (mountaintop) now and its getting pretty hard. Probably one of the best all round casual games on the appStore, original, colourful and quite a bit of content for your $4.99!
