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. Ralph is the world's first app that can be played in an INTERNATIONAL GROUP with ONE iPhone. How does it work? In the preferences, you select the number of players in the group. And specify the language in which each individual player would like to play. There are currently 6 different languages to choose from. Player 1 starts the game. On the command "Pass on!" (Or German "Weitergeben!", French "Passer!" ...), he passes the device (without shaking it) to player 2. Etc. If a player makes a mistake, he starts the next round. 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)

No more boring flashcards or reading music drills! Enjoy learning to read piano music with these creative, engaging games. > New to piano? Build your pre-reading skills as you save the characters in Level 1. > Getting started with reading notation? Defeat the note by selecting the correct note name Level 2. > Already know your treble and bass clef pretty well? Jump right into an obstacle-dodging quest to learn key signatures in Level 3. Fully customizable settings to play with just the notes you want to focus on, using English (C, D, E...) or Fixed do (do, re, mi...) note names. Use a custom color scheme to match colors you use elsewhere (such as on colored instruments), or if you want colors that work better for colorblindness. • Level 1, Single Player: Characters are falling from the sky! Save the character from falling off the screen by selecting the piano key that matches the note name on his hat. • Level 1, 2-Player: See who can score the most points before time runs out. Each player gets one side of the screen... but watch out for flying objects! • Level 2, Single Player: Notes are moving toward certain doom. Select the character whose hat matches the note on the staff before the note reaches the clef mark. • Level 2, 2-Player: Race to select the character with the correct note name more times than your opponent! • Level 3, Single Player: Navigate through the moving notes, trying to avoid the wrong ones and hit the note that matches the highlighted key. • Level 3, 2-Player: Race the other player to get to the correct note first. Choose how the game ends in single player games - lives or a timer. Select the specific notes you want to play with in levels 2 and 3: 1) Tap the clef mark to switch between treble and bass. 2) Tap or swipe notes on staff to add/remove from game. 3) Select notes from the piano keyboard to add/remove from game (Level 3 only). Settings: - English (C, D, E...) or Fixed do (do, re, mi...) note naming (all levels) - Naturals/sharps/flats/all and CDE/FGAB/all (Level 1 games) - Key signature (Level 3 games)
