Rock’n’Roll, Tag Games' first iPhone title, is currently available on the iTunes App Store. The game combines action and puzzling elements, making it suitable for a wide market. Players jump in the boots of 'Roll', whose friend gets kidnapped. Being the good friend that he is, Roll must recover the Evil Sky Spirit's musical notes to rescue his friend.

From the iTunes App Store...

Set out on an epic quest to save your kidnapped best friend and have fun along the way! Our hero 'Roll' has accidentally scattered the evil Sky Spirit's musical notes across the magical mazes. Angered by his actions the Sky Spirit has captured his friend 'Rock' and won't release him until you've returned the musical notes.

According to an official Tag Games report, Rock’n’Roll is not only super fun, but easy to pick up and play the instant you've downloaded it. A unique 'twist', which has players rotating the entire maze left and right, is what gives value to this game. Players control the maze either by using the iPhone's accelerometer, letting gravity do some of the work as well, or the touch-screen.

Roll always falls towards the bottom of the screen, so it's easy to stay focused on the action. You must collect all the musical notes within each maze to escape to the next one, and finish them all to prompt the Evil Sky Spirit to release Rock. According to Tag Games, however, that's not a certainty!

“We are delighted to bring our much-loved casual game Rock’n’Roll to iPhone and iPod Touch players,” said Tag Games managing director, Paul Farley. “We think that Rock’n’Roll’s combination of unique motion controlled game-play, cartoon visuals and tongue-in-cheek humour will be a great hit with players around the world!”

The game features an original mix of traditional Rock’n’Roll music that reflects every scenario, says Tag Games. Other unique features include maze based game-play, motion and touch control, two game modes - Quest and Clock, Spitting Gophers (that's a feature?), fun cartoon graphics and a humorous story.

Rock’n’Roll costs $4.99 to buy. It requires an iPhone or iPod touch with firmware 2.0 (or later) installed.
