I would love to see in a new Rolando (maybe part 3):

- more story, maybe a short animated intro / extro
- try to get the “hey finger” idea better involved into the game/story

- Rolandos should roll faster
- bigger levels with maybe more save points

- more worlds (the 4 in Rolando were nice, but not too different – I don’t know why but I keep thinking about the first Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis)

- maybe a level transition like the Rolandos have to get to a castle and in the next level they are in the castle, later they get out again and move on…

- maybe interactive musik, when the situation gets dangerous the music gets faster…

- more characters with different abilities
- more animated graphics (moving grass, trees, leafs flying around,…)

- some level ideas: ice/snow, dark castle, metal, lava, underwater/water in general, something cloudy in the sky

- the start screen was nice, but maybe with every completed level something is added which will eventually unlock something new / or after completing the whole game players can do another challenge on the start screen which will unlock extras

- unlockable extras like wallpapers and more in-game content (every good console game has unlockable extras)

Hope this helps?
Take care!

I love the first level of Rolando Central! It’s very easy. It’s a relaxed level. My dad and I are having a lot of trouble beating the last of the bonus levels. Wow it’s hard! Please make a sequel. We think an ice-world would be cool.

Correction: By “Bonus Levels,” I meant the new updates that were just issued by an update.

This is the best game I’ve ever played, on any system, and it still has me coming back for more. But there are a few quirks: That level in the Mine (or whatever it’s called) bugs the hell out of me. I’ve gotten every achievement on every level of the game except for that one. I’ve played the level for three hours, and I’ve gotten the diamonds and the all the Rolandos back, but the time kills me. I hate that level more than anything. Another thing is the dialogs at beginnings of levels where you have to press the skip button. Sometimes, I want to go for speed in the level, and so I restart several times to cut off a few seconds. Unfortunately, I have to watch the dialog every time! I only want it once… Or never would be best. The final problem: Sometimes I get a real good time to the first checkpoint, but then I screw up and make it just a few seconds late at the finish… And then the game doesn’t give me an option to try again from the checkpoint, and I have to do the whole level over again. I’ve only had one bug in the game, and that’s on the fourth level (I think) of the bonus levels. I jump from the finger-yellow-platform to the finger-yellow-windmill thing, and my Rolando gets inside the windmill somehow, and I have to restart. Big bummer.

My favorite parts of this game where the music, art, and gameplay, my least favorite (though the problems are minor) the presentation.

Up points is definately the build quality, graphics etc all react as they should and the visuals and music work great…

By the way what’s the music in the background on the bonus level? I’m sure I’ve heard it on the TV show SPACED in series 2…

Good tune, Good game.

I love this game, and there are many good things about it, but if you want to know what to change, heres a list:

-as someone said, no secret levels, i always thought those were cool
-more enemies
-more characters
-camera was tough to control
-spicky was tough to control
- umm, not that great achievements

I LOVE THIS GAME, AND YOU GUYS ROCK!

Loved this game and agree with everyone for the most part. Music, look, feel of the game (it felt like it was made out of construction paper, super cool). I liked the bonus levels as was pointed out for breaking up the game a bit.

I think that the screen should follow platforms
I had a hard time figuring out how to get a rolando to jump properly on tramplines
It was hard to know why a yellow bridge could go to one point but not another and generally seemed to frustrate me a bit
the final level was a bit of a let down and after doing it twice, I quit to try it again to see if I was doing it wrong.
pressing the home button while in the continue,restart level, quit menu would close out anything you had saved and you’d have to start at the beginning of that level.

All that, I really enjoyed the game. well done guys

Hi, first of all I would like to say that rolando is a brilliant game, probably one of the best handheld games to date.
Some of my favorite parts of the game include:
-Trying to get 100% although it seams nearly impossible at parts.
-The rolando central levels.
-Catapults
-All the artwork, especially the odd fox or other wildlife on some levels.
-Brilliant idea with the credits
-The music(I don’t understand why some people dislike it!?!)
-The bonus levels are fun(remind me of dizzy bee)

some minor dislikes:
-The spikey comander will sometimes not grab onto walls on the first try, this is irritating when you are trying to runthrough a level in under the time limit.
-Hints/Tutorial text is very annoying when you are trying to move the camera, one example of this is on one of the earlier levels: “Hail to the King”, one of the Rolandos is telling me how to look around levels but since he was talking I couldn’t look around the level to see where the king was
-As just about everyone has stated sometimes the sacred objects get in the way of selecting rolandos.

thanks a lot for making this game
Greg
