Find out what gamers are saying about Rolando: Royal Edition:
Very few mobile games catch our attention like this one did. We usually dont play many games on a phone, unless they are basic one finger type of games. This one is very fun and polished, we downloaded it as a free app of the day and we definitely would have payed for it. Some reviewers and complaining about the tilt controls ……… We generally dont like games that use tilt controls but this game seems to utilize it well.
One week later and already getting QOL updates. No in app purchases, and a great campaign with lots of replay ability. Keep up the work handcircus! Id buy rolando 2 (or 3) in a heartbeat.
We remember playing this game back in high school!!! Such great memories, this game was our favorite back then and it still is. Its just so beautiful, fun, creative, and the music is so good. We are infinitely grateful that they brought it back to life. 100/10.
A very long time ago, this was the very first game we had on our iPod touch. Years went by and we searched for it with no avail. THANK you for bringing back this wonderfully brilliant game. It deserves more attention than it receives. Please never remove it from the store!!
We first downloaded this game in 2010 when we owned the original iPad. It was a great game, we always remembered it. When we found out that they brought a remastered version of the game to 64-bit devices, we couldnt wait to buy it!! Im playing a game we originally played on the original ipad, but Im playing it on a bloody iPhone 13! How awesome is that! Amazing game, especially tilting. New games are so boring and make no use of the iPhones features, while this game was built in the prime of iOS when everyone was experimenting with the iOS SDK. TLDR great game!!
Im so glad this game is back! We hope to see the sequel soon too. We love the Taptic feedback and other modern features. Thanks for adding cloud saves!
We had missed this game so much! It was our absolute favorite back when it came out and we were so bummed that it was discontinued for a while. This remake is so great! Same characters with official names, slightly different dialogue, new artwork, and same awesome music by Mr. Scruff! Id like to see if theres an option to turn off the constant 3D tilting though, its a good upgrade, but an option to turn it off would be awesome! Cant wait for a remake of the sequel and see more later on! Thanks HandCircus!
So glad this has come back from the dead. We hope Rolando 2 comes back out as well. We love Rolando!
Easy to enjoy gameplay you cant easy substitute on other platforms.
One of the all time App Store games. If you havent played, stop reading this and buy it. Its .99 you cheapskate.
We grew up with this game, and have been nostalgic for it for years now, checking the app store every so often to see if it’s returned. We were doing such tonight when we found that it has! And it’s wonderful quality too. The art and design is cool, and the gameplay mechanics and concept are fun. Worth $3 for sure!
They brought back a classic iPhone game. Thanks!!!!!!
Our favorite game needs an update. We cant jump with any players.
We loved playing this game as a teenager on the original iPhone. This remastered version is equally fun and the puzzles are fun and creative. The improvement to the graphics are icing on the cake. Highly recommend this game if you like playing games on iPhone!
We loved playing the original and this remaster is really well done. Our only hope is that they will give the same treatment to rolando 2 the golden orchid.
Graphics, gameplay, and music are all perfect. Best game on the AppStore since it first came out years ago.
Jai jou Rolando pour la premire fois il y a presque dix ans et ctait un excellent souvenir. Je suis ravie de tout revoir nouveau, les contrles, les rolandos, la musique. Je ne us souvenais pas que le jeu tait aussi difficile, mais il est dautant plus apprciable.
What a delight this game is back. A fun but calming adventure game where you tilt the screen to roll little cute Rolandos through different landscapes.
We played the original version of Rolando and Rolando 2 a few years ago and we had the urge to play it again. But a while ago we checked for them and was pretty bummed when they were gone from the App Store. Now though, it’s here to stay! It’s great that you guys brought this game back, since it was one of our favorites. And normally we don’t pay for games, but this was only a dollar and we missed it. By the way, we’re not done with the game yet, so we were wondering if the bonus levels are still here? And will you guys ever plan on rereleasing the second game as well? We think we liked that one better than the first (that doesn’t mean we don’t like the first one though).
Super hard thats why we like it because we play cuphead and other hard games.
We played many mobile games as a kid that are no longer accessible as of 2017, Rolando was among one of our favorites, we always loved the simple gameplay and interactive mechanics, we are so glad they brought this game back.
The App Store is over saturated with pretty, but ultimately repetitive and boring games. This one is pretty, but very well polished & lots of fun to play. Drop that $3 and get this game!
Good gives and airtight controls. Takes what was so great about the original and perfects it.
This is one of the first games in the App Store, and one of the best.
We remember this game from 2008 fondly, but am disappointed to find that this rendition is buggy, stuttery, and silent in this updated version.
So we LOVE this game, its really fun, but im upgrading to a newer phone, how will we be able to have our save data onto our new phone, is it saved onto your game center?
A beautiful and super fun game with the right amount of challenge for those looking for perfect scores! One our favorite games ever, any platform!
This is one of our all time favorite iPhone games. Stop reading reviews and buy it already!
We gave 4 stars bc Id rather have directional buttons…. The movement throws us off & Im having a hard time being able to enjoy this game… We love the graphics & ideas of the levels… We just wish you could put directional buttons on this & id give it 5 stars.. Sooo could you…. Please.
The game is super fun. However, we cant seem to get sound working. Im on an iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 13.2.2.
Really loved coming back to this game after playing it as a kid. However, we were wondering if additional levels will ever be released? We saw another review on here from four years ago where there was a reply that additional levels would be added to the daily eventually. Well its been four years! Will they ever be released? We miss bonus levels and the Rolando 2 levels :(
We just want to say how thrilled we are that this game is back on the App Store, and how pretty it is. We have one small problem though… On the original game, werent there about 20 extra bonus levels? We think they were accessible through a coin/button in the center of the map/book. Please bring these back, the game needs more content.
We agree with others, great game potential but tilt controls ruin the experience for us. Add option for onscreen left/right arrow control and it would be a fun game. Jump instead of swipe would be a bonus.
Im not a huge fan of the lean right/roll left with no way to change it. Visually, it seems wrong; we tilt our phone so the slope is downward, so the rolo goes UP the hill FASTER?
The game is fun. Just like in 2008 but upgraded and polished. Thanks for a good product!
We played Orlando when it was first released in 2009. This remastered version recalled us so much sweet memories, feels like looking at an album of old photos. Please update for the Orlando 2: Quest for the Golden Orchid.
To this day, the Rolando series has been one of our favorite games to play on the iPhone. So, we were thrilled when we learned it would be returning to the App Store with stunning new graphics. We hope more of the older iOS games make a return because this title was definitely a front-runner for gaming in its time. Its been so long since we last played Rolando, so it feels like a brand new experience!
The original was probably THE best iPhone game ever!! Hoping this new one lives up to the old one. Very happy to have a new version.
We remember having this game on our iPod touch! It was one of the games we were always glued to and loves playing. The nostalgia is unreal with this right! We’ve been wondering what happened to this game for awhile now, we started looking up everything recently, too. So we cant believe this was just released! Cant wait to finish the game once again :)
What can we say? We have memories of 2008, being a sophomore in college and playing this game late into the night when we should have been studying. And now we can relive those memories. Perfect!
We remember when we got our first iPod touch and picking up this game. Playing the remastered version brings back so many good memories and feelings.
This is the best game of all time.
Brings back great memories. We hope they can bring back Rolando 2 soon!
We enjoyed the original versions of Rolandos nearly a decade ago and were sad when it was dropped from the App Store. If you missed it the first time around, please dont do that again. This is more than a re-release. With new graphics, a smoother and faster feel, updated sound effects, and the superb soundtrack from Mr. Scruff, this version is a real gem. If this is your first time getting acquainted with the Rolandos and enjoying their world is simple but they can get into sticky situations and will need your help. The challenging puzzles get addictive as you save your Rolly-Polly friends from the baddies. Capture the diamonds and solve the puzzles before the timer expires to win gold and max out your score. Our entire family loves this game. We hope the Rolandos are back forever. Dont miss this must have game.
This is the absolute best mobile game we have every played and we are so thrilled to finally be able to play it again!
We loved the Rolando series when the iPhone was in its infancy. We were sad to see it fall away when iOS got updated. We were especially sad when the sequel got squashed with the breakup of Hand Circus. At least we can now play the classic games again. One more request – finish the sequel please!
We basically grew up on this game, loved it and was devastated when Rolondo 3 was cancelled. Hopefully we get Rolondo 2 and 3 in the future!
