HandCircus has posted an update and new gameplay video for one of our most anticipated iPhone games: Rolando.
I believe this video comes a few hours ahead of an official announcement that ngmoco is now Rolando’s publisher, as it is now hosted at http://rolando.ngmoco.com.
To catch you up if you haven’t been following along, Rolando is an iPhone-specific platform puzzler that we first caught glimpse of back in July before the App Store even launched. The original teaser trailer got us very excited but we haven’t heard much for months. As it turns out, it seems HandCircus has teamed up with new iPhone game publisher ngmoco.
Ngmoco was founded by former EA executive Neil Young which has raised funding from Perkins Caufield & Byers’s iFund. We suspect a formal announcement will come shortly, but in the meanwhile, here’s the new teaser video:
Be sure to watch the original video for Rolando.
The game is described:
The Rolandos need your help! Their adorable kingdom has been invaded by an angry darkness. Take control of the Rolandos and manipulate their world using innovating tilt, tap and multi-touch controls. Use dexterity, physics and clever tactics to survive dozens of puzzle-ridden environments as you lead the Rolandos to freedom!
