So far so good, I've been playing for a bit now. I loved the first one.

The first one was fantastic. Controlled well, looked good, sounded good. Easily worth the ten bucks. As long as they don't mess anything up, this one will be worth the price too.

Again this is a quality game and I am having as much fun with it as I did the first title. Good stuff!

I don't care who you are, $9.99 for an extremely high-quality game like Rolando 2 is not a "premium price".
Think about all the effort going in to making that game. That's well worth 10 dollars (I'd pay $20 for Rolando 1, and this looks ten times better).

So now instead of a free upgrade you just call your app v2...Seriously people, are you that naive!
Very disappointing.

Rolando 2 is so much more than what you could ever consider a 'free upgrade.' Extremely improved graphics, new kinds of Rolando, new ways to interact with the environment...I'm still in the first area, so I can't say much more. But, seriously, this game is worth the $9.99 to me already.

That's great☺
But the original Rolando cost $9.99! So i don't really see the logic in charging $9.99..?

Because it's a completely new game?
It's 3D (or 2.5D) rather than 2D.
Every level is new
The story is completely different
It doesn't have any of the original game in it, so can't be an upgrade.
It's kind of how games work - you make a sequel that's completely new and you charge what you charged for the original one (or there abouts)...

So what your saying is, because I bought the original Call of Duty, I should get every other CoD since then for free? Who do I contact to get these other games?

This is not an update, its a sequel!
As in updates to Halo 2 are free, or you can buy Halo 3, a different game, but based on the last game.
There were loads of free updates to Rolando 1 with extra levels as well as fixes. But this is a NEW game based on Rolando 1.
Also, remember how much games cost of the PSP and NDS compaired to this, $10 is very cheap really.

My head hurts after trying to read that mess above. I know it’s a holiday weekend and all, but jeepers. It’s like you’re not even trying.
Please fire your editor.

Rolando 2 out now on the App Store
by Mike Schramm (edited by Grammar Police Task Force on Jul 5 2009) on Jul 3 2009
Just in case you haven't heard, ngmoco has released Rolando 2: Quest for the Golden Orchid in the App Store for the premium price of $9.99. In this sequel, you're rescuing a relic rather than a prince, and though the game is not cheap by App Store standards, it's up there with the highest quality games you'll find on the iPhone. We were big fans of the first Rolando; this second one ups the ante with a brand new 3D look (though still the same great 2D gameplay), and more types of Rolandos to roll, jump, fly and drive around the more than 45 new levels. It's fair to say that if you liked the first one, you'll love this one too, and if you've never tried rolling a Rolando around, this is a perfect opportunity to start.
Unfortunately, there is not a lite version of the second game yet, but if you want an idea of the gameplay, there is a lite version of the first one to try. There are also many movies to watch over on ngmoco's site detailing Rolando's gameplay. If you're interested in gaming on the iPhone at all, regardless of your gaming preferences, Rolando should be on your short list.

I love Rolando 2! I beat the game 100% and am 9 on the overall score on the plus network (aar2697). It's real awesome. I would recommend it for every iPhone user.
