August 27, 2009

Nival Network is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Acclaim Games to localize and operate the free to play online browser-based music game Rockfree in Russia and the CIS countries.

Discover the world of international rock! On Rockfree's virtual stages, music fans from all over the world compete in guitar duels. It only takes a few minutes to become a musician in the game. Plastic guitars are not required. Neither is installation – it runs in your web browser.

With a few mouse clicks, you pick the look you want, from cool to extravagant, and there you are – already on the stage! In order to win, you must tune your reactions to press the proper buttons in the correct order. And of course, a love of rock music makes playing even more fun.

Rockfree is the online paradise for fans of Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Rush, Warrant, Wolfmother, KISS, Iggy Pop and many other famous rock groups and performers. Strum the strings, garner fans, and enjoy your favorite music!

Game features:

• Rock music for all tastes – Rockfree has performers from various eras and with various styles;
• No expensive equipment needed – only an internet connection, keyboard and mouse;
• Flamboyant characters – create your own rock musician by choosing gender, skin color, hairstyle, clothes and of course, a guitar;
• The ability to gain fame – the more fans your rocker has, the more guitars, hairstyles and clothing items are available for him.

The launch of the localized version is scheduled for this fall. The exact date will be announced in the near future.
