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.
Brilliant! Tacky, yet brilliant. Shows an iPhone style platformer can be done, and done well, with this control setup.
Can devs please make more of this style of thing? eg jazzjackrabbit / sonic / mario / etc.
Kroll proves the graphics can be whatever you so desire, but just a left/right & jump control method works well. I was hoping Kroll would be a real platformer, as were others, which is why it's a bit disappointing.
Gettin' this! Thanks for the vid!
Finally a jumping game, it also looks nice, but I miss enemies, animation of Papis face and landscape mode (it's a lot more comfortable to hold the device that way when playing). And it's not available in my countries store (Austria) - why is that? That's a pity!
Ok, I like simple games. But design must be more better than this.
Games in the 80's were simple but got charme. This ball got no charm man.
wow, i dunno what you guys see in these "mr. papi" games...
tvzoid said it all... i love retro games, but this ain't a "retro" attempt. try megaman 9 (which IS a new game) to see what a good old 2D sidescrolling should play (not saying "look") like these days.
kudos to sunflat for making their papi franchise games sell..
Where's the enemies sunflat, regardless, VERY entertaining game
wow, he cant play for his life. i beat the first 3 levels in about 10 minutes. he missed twice on the easiest level! lol, good game, addicting!
