Ngmoco's Rolando 2 has seen its first price cut down from $9.99 to $5.99.
Rolando 2 received high marks in our own review as well as the TouchArcade community.
All in all, we are really impressed with Rolando 2 which does justice to one of the few classic iPhone originals. Like the original, the art, style and music come together in a wonderfully immersive package. And with the addition of Plus+, you'll find yourself working to perfect your scores on individual levels in order to challenge your friends.
Rolando 2 is expected to receive free level pack updates ahead of Rolando 3 which was also announced in March.

This "franchise" is always controversial here at TA, but I'll take a little heat and add that if you are looking for a full-featured, and IMO epic iDevice adventure; Rolando 2 is a platform defining title that I'm still no in regret of paying 10 bucks for. Love it or hate it, Rolando 2 is absolutely worth $6

Been waiting for this price drop!
…and bought!
Well worth the money, even before the drop. I've only just this week completed all the achievements (got all the 3000 plus+ points). I've probably spent 15+ hours doing that!
Oh and Arn, they said in the ngmoshow pt1 that they will have both free and paid DLC.
Tempted to buy it but I still haven't beaten the first one yet.
I think all the Gameloft 6.99 game just blown Rolando 2 away
now drop Rolando 1 to 0.99!!
Bought it the night before the drop, thinking "eh it's been long enough, they aren't dropping the price". I have no regrets.
you say its a "epic iDevice adventure; Rolando 2 is a platform defining title"…well if you can get used to the controls, which i didn't care for, I bought the first one for 10 bucks, and never got passed the 3rd level…anyone wanna trade Rolando 1 for i dunno…star defense or something, meet me at the flagpole @ 3pm
Star Defense is an OK game, but honestly with only like 7 levels and about 2 hours of game play, it is WAY too brief to be considered a good game/experience.
Interesting how these things work. I finished Rolando 1 and 2 without much trouble (now #2 on R1 plus+, mvon007), but I'm struggling even on 'Normal' difficulty on Star Defence!
Exciting that they've dropped the price, grow that audience again. I bought Star Defence when it hit $NZ1.29; wouldn't have gone for it otherwise … maybe one day R2 will get to that point for other people

If you want a SD tip, you have to set your weaponry up in areas where they will be positioned so that they hit the baddies on two passes (like a loop). I.e. set a electricity up at the entrance to the loop, then it hits the enemies twice.
