Atlanta, Ga.-based casual game maker Phelios Inc. has released “ Rock and Roll,” a new title crafted using the company’s PTK game engine. It requires Mac OS X v10.2 or later and an OpenGL-compatible graphics system with 16MB or more VRAM. A downloadable demo is available; it costs $19.95 to register.
In “Rock and Roll,” you assume the role of Stan the Caveman, inventor of the wheel. Stan must roll his invention to a scientific convention to exhibit his discovery and “change the course of progress and humanity.” Along the way, he must avoid dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.
An arcade-style action game at heart, Rock and Roll encourages you to use your wheel to conk out some beasts as you collect food to increase your lifespan. The full game features 24 levels, 3 mini games, 3 worlds and 5 soundtracks.
