Ngmoco's Neil Young announced in our forums that Rolando will be released on December 18th, 2008. The date also confirms early ads (see right) that have been spotted on the web. Young also reveals that new videos, screenshots and information will be released this week.
Rolando has been a highly anticipated game coming from Ngmoco and will represent their first premium title. While they've delivered a number of successful iPhone games thus far (most recently Dropship), these have been described as fast/cheap titles. Rolando is expected to be priced at $9.99.
Features listed on their site include:
- Interactive Environments – Manipulate more than a dozen gizmos, including lifts, catapults and bomb dispensers
- Fun with Physics – Rolandos can bounce on trampolines, push blocks and nudge bombs and sleeping Rolandos
- Rich, Intuitive Controls – use Tilt and Multi-touch to guide the Rolandos and manipulate their world
- Signature Art Style – Visuals by pop-culture illustrator Mikko Walamies and music by renowned break-beat artist Mr. Scruff
- iSave and iTunes compatible – Progress is saved and restored automatically when play is stopped or interrupted
- Global Leader Boards – Compare scores and Achievements with other players online
- Epic Adventure – Four unique worlds and 36 engaging levels















Finally! I cant wait!!!!!! (btw FIRST!)
Yeah!!! *jumps up and down, goes for a run, and brakes something*
Yeah!
WOW, I've never been so excited about a game!!!!! Hehe I will be addicted on it
YES!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!!
as you can see, i want the game somewhat.
That game actually looks really fun. Like a new take on Lemmings.
Man, Rolando was on Touchaecade last night, several of us got to talk to him, then Arn banned him:(. Oh well.
This game is WAY to hyped up. I predict it's not going to live up to the hype. This has more hype than gears of war 2 haha.
Not overhyped! I'm welcoming this title!!!
This is, what the iphone needs. No ports,
instead unique games especially for this
gaming console (like Dropship).
And I predict, Rolando will be even a bigger
hit and cult than Loco Roco on the PSP (for
me still the only game, which makes the PSP
nearly a must-have). And Rolando takes this
concept and adds sooooo much to the idea.
FInally iPhone and iPod Touch will get their
own Mario/Sonic
LOL… Awesome. Sounds like fun. You can destroy and build stuff in it. Like a sanbox game!
LOL
LocoRoco copy?
