Besides Rolando, two other games are now featured on ngmoco's site:
Maze Finger appears to be a fast paced action game in which you trace out a maze with your finger on the iPhone. The game appears to be well stylized. Feature list includes:
- Stunning visual effects and sound
- Intense arcade-style touch screen action
- 200 levels with 1000 unique mazes
- Traps, blockers and energy pickups
- Test your skills by unlocking new achievements
- Send high scores to your friends and foes
This game appears to challenge you to balance differently shaped pieces on a growing tower. The goal appears to be use a certain number of blocks without toppling over in order to pass the level. Topple takes naturally takes advantage of the iPhone's accelerometer to help you try to keep the tower in balance.
- Enjoy beautiful visuals, playful animations and a sweeping musical score
- Drag, rotate and stack pieces using touch and multi-touch controls
- Tilt the screen to keep your teetering blocks from toppling
- Follow your blocks’ facial expressions for tactical clues and comic relief
Gameplay videos for each game can be found on their respective pages: Maze Finger and Topple
Update: PocketGamer.co.uk says that Topple and Maze Finger will be "budget" games and cost no more than 59p ($0.99 US).
Haha! Topple looks hilarious! I love the facial expressions on the blocks- that's a great idea which adds character and humour to the game. Gonna get it!
Yeah, Topple looks great! But I'm nervous about ngmoco's pricing – what do you wanna bet they're going to try and charge 'premium' prices …
@mavis if it's worth it, then they should go for it
What I would pay:
Rolando – 12,99€*
Topple – 1,99€
Maze Finger – 2,99€
*based on the asumption, that it has lots of content.
Looks like $0.99 for topple and maze finger

@arn: I definitely agree that developers should be rewarded for their hard work. But given the fact that almost EVERY game launched at $9.99 has since dropped to a fraction of that price, I'm reluctant to pay premium prices ever again – I'll just wait for the price to drop (like I should've done with dozens of games I've bought so far) … Just my opinion.
btw: I really don't like the faces. They look ugly and unfriendly. I like the idea of the faces, but not their style.
"btw: I really don’t like the faces. They look ugly and unfriendly. I like the idea of the faces, but not their style."
I love them, but hey, each to their own. 59p sounds a great price. I ain't too bothered about Maze Finger though.
@ olivier. The faces are very nice, in this screenshot we can see only ugly faces because they are going to falling, but when they are well balanced they are smiling and friendly
. And that makes it even more awesome!!
