Rolando: strangely hypnotic iPhone game
It wasn’t a huge surprise to see racing games appear on the iPhone, the accelerometer basically lends itself for this type of game play, due to it’s intuitive method of steering. Racing games are great, but is that all the iPhone gaming is cracked up to be, racing? Maybe not.
Rolando by Handcircus is a catchy platformer/puzzle type game, when I first laid eyes on this game I couldn’t stop watching, was it the music or the strange game play, maybe it was the combination of both that made it so hypnotic. Whatever the case, Rolando looks to be the first real potential smash hit for iPhone gaming. The game has a casual feel to it, with it’s catchy music mixed with quirky looking balls rolling around, you can be sure it will appeal to a wide audience.
Rolando will be coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch Summer 2008.
