Rockfords Rock Opera Part 2

Just to let you know that Rockford’s Rock Opera Part 2 has just been released as an iPhone/iPod Touch App
(it’ll work on the iPad soon too – once Apple have released iOS4 for that device in November).
It costs £2.99, and you can get Part 2 here:  http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id396897529?mt=8

If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch just download it (you’ll need to be onWiFi) – it’s got lots of new stuff, videos etc – and, give it a review and rating, should you care to.

Part 1 is free of course: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id345554761?mt=8

This is what the designers say about it:

When you start development on a project, all you have are a few ideas and a long road ahead. As time progresses, you get to watch the concept become reality. Little steps contribute to the bigger picture.
Through the course of development, you hit roadblocks and stumble. Unseen problems become evident. You must adapt.
But you don’t give up. You innovate. You conquer. You continue forward and exceed your own expectations.
We’ve put a lot of love into this, and we’re proud to release it to the world.
We hope you enjoy it. This one’s for you.
