Ralph, the Restless Rhythm Rat has rhythm in his blood. Do you too? Make the right Moves while keeping the beat, following the commands that Ralph gives you. Touch, tap or tilt him, just don’t make any mistakes! The beat gets faster and faster… A game requiring a sense of rhythm for 1-4 players from 6-99 years. Reviews: Simple but challenging. A creative use of accelerometer, which is it's only limitation, as it doesn't always recognize my gestures, but it's still very fun to play and a good way to keep your mind sharp. (ijudy)

Barrel Roller holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Ralph (Full version)'s written reviews are positive against 43% of Barrel Roller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ralph (Full version) ships an update every 3 months, Barrel Roller every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
