Rolando - Teaser trailer

[SaureLimette]

hmm that makes me think of snail domino by graphics & atmosphere...

[Volcanic9]

Here's the thing: Loco Roco is much better, but Rolando is on your Iphone. I'm not about to go buy a fucking PSP when I have an Iphone.

[deadmeu]

its loco roco for your ipod touch or iphone so its the fun of loco roco but for a much more slimmer and useful device. the only thing that it needs to be the best game ever is a chocolate coated pancake!!! Mmmmmm pancakes

[dehoff89]

i love this game

[caqtv]

We played LocoRoco, then we made this.

[noobietoobie]

is it as good as loco roco ?

[Ibamandrosz]

Who knows the title of this song????????????????

[chorusofbirds]

this is the clapping song by shirley ellis. it's good.

[Rolando12349]

Looks like a locoroco rip - off.

[ImageoftheMench]

I love this game, but I am curious about this video. It seems there are a number of levels that were removed before I bought it. It shows many levels I haven't seen before, and I beat the one I have.

[will9831]

This video was made long before the game was completed, and some adjustments were made before its release.

[ArymeZWretched]

Took me a hell long time to get a 100%. it was fine while it lasted

[sunnydale22]

I LOVE this game! My dad bought it for me for my Ipod Touch. Its totally one of my favourite games ever. Just super fun and pretty challenging at times. Totally worth buying. I also love the little Rolandos!

[check1one2two]

I bought this game about a week ago (for now, 9.99 on the app store), and one word comes to mind: epic. I've bought a lot of games in the short time I've had my iPod Touch and none of them even comes close to Rolando. Definitely worth it!

[galaris]

can i download this for free?

[rmadrid10figo]

If you have this tell me if its worth buying.

[cammo6901]

its worth buying.

[zorba990]

Sweet!  I wonder waht other games HandyGames has coming?

[churchill378]

its only just been released

[Diskoboy1974]

December 18, 2008 is the release date.

[fuzetsu490]

i always thought that it would be cool if they ported locoroco to ipod touch/iphone

[Melvinflynt]

Either this was created by the creators of Loco Roco or it's the biggest rip off of Loco Roco.

[cartifex]

yeah it's a complete rip-off, they ripped off styles, graphics and gameplay from:

Locoroco,

Patapon (the black background level looks like patapon),

Kirby Curves

[SaitanMar]

so, who cares! just as long as it's fun and worth my cash. I couldn't care less if it borrows ideas. It's certainly better then Locoroco that's for sure.

[Pred1ator]

are you retarded? these are the same developers who made locoroco, get your fact straight before making stupid replies

[trimph675]

Nope this developer did not produce LocoRoco. Its his first game.

[Fireburn2]

Its not in the store yet, its coming "holidays 2008".

[maxisthelaw]

does this game have any relation to locoroco?!? I love that game!

[InsAnityKey]

yeah thats what im wondering, fun game, i want to get this cause it reminds me of loco

[bluemeany]

What's up with the shit music on these games? Fucking annoying!

[Imegaphonic]

Is this going to be released? I was really looking forward to it.

[handcircus]

Yep its very much still for release. More news this week :)

[peavyibanez]

looks like loco roco, but i love both^^

[Xandu6a]

It needs accelerometer !!

[Gibbyx6]

please release?? haha

[rottenapple02]

I was really excited about this game but summer is over a week from now and there is no word of this game's release on your website. Is this game still happening? Programming troubles? Legal troubles?

[LuxmasterCZ]

awesome game .. i hope it will be cheap

[crayonsrcool9]

rolando, locoroco almost exactly alike but you should tilt to make the things role but if it does go through to apple without sony gettin involved im defenetly going to buy it

[mijlee]

That's what I thought. I think it looks like an amazing piece of work but he should watch out he doesn't get slammed with a law suit from Sony.

[abcmsaj]

Very cool game :D

[ste90milano]

I want it!!!!! when is it going to be released

[martinkaby]

omg that looks so cool :D

[Caboose68]

my name's Rolando

[Veloxi]

Awesome song. It's called:

The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap) by Shirley Ellis

[twrexx]

to all the idiots calling it a ripoff:

How many games have you played and enjoyed that owe thier existance to a previous game? many is the answer.

[order666]

Song seems to be The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap)

by Shirley Ellis

[hymn1978]

nice ripoff you douche-bag. Loco Roco 2 comes later this fall, so do something original instead.

[Reyevan]

Well this game is different gameplay concept :> only GFX is Loco Roco style

[makasuuu]

Nice loco-roco RIP OFF

[rodrig0david]

Looks like a Loco Roco ripoff.

[hellodon]

very much so - loco roco would be a good game on iphone so it was a good idea. I think it's got some extra cool stuff in it that might make it more fun than loco roco....which I thought was a good game but i got bored of it quick. Is it the same company making it?

[neil830813]

loco roco is much better...............

[Vassago54]

What is the incidental music ?

[smellvetica]

Nice one Simon, roll on July 11th! Ha.

[toinnejohn8tytu]

Is this loco roco 2?

[lapixx]

No this is 'Rolando', a game for iPhone and iPod Touch. I agree it looks like it though.

[hyrcan]

*cough*locoroco-ripoff*cough*

[Reyevan]

Only in style :p

[hyrcan]

Ha. Only not.

They can't even make smooth curves. And lets not ignore the personality distinct to each of the Loco Roco characters through the visuals and song/voice.

And that whole.. original idea and all.

[lapixx]

No smooth curves? I don't seem to get that one.

Anyway, what's wrong with remaking games based on a good concept? It sells well, all companies do it.

Also, it looks like there is more variation in this game, compared to LocoRoco.

[hyrcan]

The curves of the environment, if you watch the video, are blocky... something that doesn't scream "style" which is what Reyevan tried to promote in their response.

User a good concept, near exact coping content however is something else.

Don't get me wrong, I think bringing a game like this to the iPhone is a brilliant idea. The additional control of objects in game is intriguing. I just find the lack of an original style a -big- disappointment.

[lapixx]

Okay, you got a point there. The gameplay itself looks the same, but perhaps we could wait with our comments until we've actually played it? There could be more differences then we can see in the vid now ;)

[pablopudinski]

Awesome! This will be the first game I buy. Hurry, hurry!!

[svensksvamp]

9.99 sounds like a great price. I can't wait to get my hands on this one!

[mikkow]

this looks like a really fun game. can't wait to get it!

[kadavila]

I will purchase this the moment its released. Also great song choice!

[handcircus]

It does use the accelerometer too :) Some of the sections use the accelerometer to control gravity (ie you rotate your iPhone round 360 degrees to tilt the environment). Its just not in this teaser video

[krustyflakes]

I believe the song is called Clap hands by Tom waits, but this sounds like a NEW covers, any idea who performs?? really loved it.

[handcircus]

Hey, its the clapping song by Shirley Ellis.

[itmsjim]

It sounds like a NEW cover? Uhh...it's called the original! Back from the mid-20th century :-) Wow, that sounds like such a long time ago! I guess it was now.

[jacoblindblad]

locoroco, I missed you, where have you been? OmFG! It's not you! WHO ARE YOU, AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO LOCOROCO?

[KingKurteous]

OMG!! I cant wait till July 11!!!

[mattjeff12]

Wonderful =D

[salazarmark]

Lol release it quick before loco rocco gets an iphone version.

[ShadowriverUB]

Good one ^^ i already move forward about games in some sites :p This game reminds me LocoRoco ^^

[handcircus]

thanks gids! Hope to get it out there as soon as I can, I'm aiming for sometime in August. Will def let you know

[gideonbee]

yay !! this looks great Simon, can't wait to give it a go :)
