November 7, 2008 - VITO Technology releases Star Walk – an interactive celestial map for iPhone. With Star Walk you can identify and learn stars or constellations, watch changing Moon phases, get acquainted with the basics of astronomy.

Star Walk is your realistic guide for star gazing. Whenever you admire the starry night sky, Star Walk helps you to recognize anonymous heavenly bodies. Just find them on your interactive star map and tap “i” to retrieve useful information, such as celestial coordinates of these heavenly bodies. Don’t be afraid to get overloaded by tons of specific terms. Star Walk is not for scientific use but for learning something new playfully. The cutting-edge graphics and smooth moving/scaling make your work with Star Walk pleasant and easy. You do not need a manual for using Star Walk because of its intuitive interface.

Star Walk covers about 9000 stars, planets and constellations. You can select and tap any object to have it zoomed and to read additional information. Star Walk currently supports English, French, German, Italian, Russian and Japanese languages. The skyline in Star Walk is annotated with the four compass points (North West South East) for better orientation.

Lunar Phase feature. Using Star Walk you don’t have to browse the lunar calendar to know whether it’s crescent, waxing gibbous or full Moon phase. You do not even have to know these astronomical terms. Just zoom in Moon with a double tap and see how much the lunar surface is shadowed. It is that simple.

Time Machine feature. Use GPS to get located automatically or choose manually any location. New York, Sydney, Paris or the South Pole  – you can observe the sky from wherever you like. Having chosen the location you can watch the starry sky on your iPhone as if you were there physically. But there is more…

You can choose time. Actually that means that you can virtually travel through the time, future or past. This is a chance to see the stars and constellations through the eyes of Galileo. Of course, you can also choose a date from the future and watch the sky as it will be seen by our descendants over centuries.

Star Walk. Your pocket observatory. Anytime. Anywhere.

Star Walk for iPhone and iPod is available for $4.99 at AppStore: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=295430577&mt=8

Tag Games today launched Rock’n’Roll, it’s first title for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. A super-charged combination of action and puzzling that is sure to set the Apple AppStore alight and delight players across the globe!

Rock’n’Roll is a classic story of friendship and kidnapping! You play ‘Roll’, a rather well-rounded character, who must enter the spinning mazes of Flint Island to recover the Evil Sky Spirit’s musical notes and save his best friend ‘Rock’ from imprisonment.

Rock’n’Roll is an incredibly simple game to pick up and play, with a unique ‘twist’. Players rotate the entire maze left and right using either the iPhone’s motion-sensing or touch controls and using the power of gravity, Roll falls towards the bottom of the screen – whatever direction it happens to be! Collect all the musical notes within each maze to escape to the next one. Finish them all and the Evil Sky Spirit just might release Rock.

Tag managing director Paul Farley says, “We are delighted to bring our much-loved casual game Rock’n’Roll to iPhone and iPod Touch players. 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!”

“This is an exciting time for Rock’n’Roll. Globalfun is rolling out the mobile version to carriers across Europe and SkyZone continue to extend the game’s popularity in North America. We hope players everywhere will see a lot more of our intrepid heroes ‘Rock’ and ‘Roll’ in the coming months.”

Rock’n’Roll features 30 crazy mazes to attempt over three stunning environments – Coral Reef, Jungle and Mountain Top. Two game modes provide both quest and race against the clock challenges, giving both quickly accessible gameplay and longer term replay value.

The game features an original mix of traditional Rock’n’Roll music that reflects both the humorous nature of the game and the visual setting of each environment.
