    one of the few games, which are really worth their money.

    polished, fun, great soundtrack.......i bought it without hesitation. 10 bucks are not overpriced for this one.

    i guess you will see a pricedrop, when the sales are more or less "dead". and this will take a while for this game.

    It's telling that when you see a $40 discount in Gamestop, you buy the game, but won't buy another AAA game for the same price point on the App Store. :D

    Plus, why buy it anyway if you don't like platformers? :confused:

    I believe his exact words were "I don't like 'platformer' type games very much", meaning that he likes them, just not very much i.e he'd play them but not go crazy about them...

    The price will go down to 5.99 the week before Touch Pets is released in late april/early may. Touch Pets will cost 9.99.

    In My Head
    100% Correct, Like I said the only reason I really want it, is because it does like quite polished. I'm sure I'd play it if I were to get it, but I can wait as long as it takes. Now NFS, Or Payback those could both be $14.99 and I would still get them on launch day.

    I don't, but I'm geussing it will be 10 dollars and back at the party he mentioned that it would be 5-6 months until it would be released or Q2 2009 and ngmoco dropped their prices a week before rolando was released.
    It wouldn't make sense for them to drop the price when word fu or topple too comes out because everybody would just buy rolando and would therefore cut in on the other game sales. Plus 5.99 is a balanced price. It's tempting enough to buy while not to be unprofitable.

    I thought the prices for Dr Awesome and Dropship were sale prices when they dropped them, but the appear to be the permanent new prices.

    I'm liking Rolando less and less as i progress in the game.. it used to be cute and entertaining, but now it just feels like a chore.. that and it seems like the guys roll faster one way then they do the other...

    i'd wait for some kind of price drop. If you really want it though, price wouldn't matter!

    its because they can advertise their other games within Dr Awesome and DropShip, Im sure Rolando will drop in price in lieu of any newer 9.99 games coming out..and im sure you will see advertisements for them, in your Rolando and Dr Awesome and dropship as Well

    Yeah I can't believe at how much people complain about $10 games. i love Katamari is pretty amazing and comparable with the console games and it's not even $10. I paid $15+ to get Puzzle Quest on Xbox Live Arcade. Will people complain about Need for Speed being $10, or Bioshock being $10? Because if those actually come out :) I could see the price not coming down for a very, very long time.

    Oh and btw I broke yesterday and got Rolando, it's pretty fun! It's one of my fav games on my iPod Touch atm along with Edge, wurdle, tapdefense, i love Katamari and I can't decide on 1 racer :).

    Wahoo! Rolando's price dropped!! Downloading....Now. :D Not saying I wouldn't have bought it eventually, it's just that there were other games that were cheaper that could keep me occupied.

    The wait is over!!!! Well almost for all of us... its only $2.99 now..

    Also the description does not state that it will go back or a limited time sale or something....
    I think I'll wait, SD went down to 99 cents... right ?

    Mods! wanna change the title ?
