Rolando is a puzzle game where solving the puzzle is combined with mobilizing Rolando, the prince and the King to safety. It would be an understatement to say that Rolando is an off beat game.

Rolando has been marketed as a physics game. This has scared off many who hated physics and all that it implied. However, the gameís physics quotient is no different than other games on the iPhone. This game is similar to a platforming game where you use to multi talented players to navigate your way through the map. This involves using teleporters, activating switches or even blowing things up to move forward.

To be good at this game, you will have to master the environment and also the various ghosts and spooks that populate the various levels. You can either avoid them or destroy them before moving ahead. Thankfully, the enemies do not move fast. This helps you plan your game methodically. The levels can be crossed quickly. However, this does not mean they can be crossed easily. Handling the Rolandos is not very difficult. However, the prince tends to run off without thinking of the dangers involved. This brings comic relief as well a fair share of frustration into the game.

The small levels are very complex. There are many tasks that have to be completed and many puzzles to be solved in every level. Of course, crossing the level is not dependent on these additional tasks. Make sure a certain number of Rolandos reach the end of the level and you are through. Many players complete the game first and then proceed to check out the additional features. This ensures the game has good replay value. Or you could do a bit of both to ensure the game does not become monotonous.

Rolando is controlled through use of both the touch screen and the tilt function. Rolandos must first be selected to be activated, and this can be done individually or by dragging your finger across multiple Rolandos to select more than one. Once activated you flick your finger upwards to send them jumping up to ledges or tilt the iPhone around to send them rolling about. Of course things are further complicated by the fact that careful attention must always be paid to the hazardous prince, and that the giant king needs the help of more than one Rolando to make it over inclines.

Where does Rolando drag? Well, the graphics certainly could use some improvement. It cannot be called bad. However, it is as if the developers simply got tired of working on the game and decided to market the incomplete finish as a surreal one. The background is not sharply designed. Rather, single color schemes have been used to fill up the background. This minimalist approach does not match the game and leaves the player disappointed. Further, the background is barren with no objects or design in the background. Thankfully, the Rolandos have been designed with a bit more effort. They are very colorful and animated. This adds a bit more excitement to the game and also enhances its pace.

Rolando rises quite gradually as far as difficulty levels are concerned. It adds puzzles step by step and each succeeding level becomes more adventurous. If the gamer decides to win the game by doing it the proper and comprehensive way, it might take months for the task to end. Even a single session takes around 6 ñ 10 hours depending on how fast you play. Rolando is a treat for gamers who like puzzles and platformer games. If you are one such gamer, do opt for this game.

Score: 9/10
