Overview
Rolando is a puzzle-adventure game where you control the ball-like Rolandos. You direct the collection of creatures through levels by tilting the device and interacting with elements like conveyor belts and elevators via the touch screen. It's a lovely bright puzzle game that is accessible to a wide range of players.
To complete each stage you need to find a required number of Rolandos. Once found they join your group. You can then roll them one at a time or in groups, selected by drawing boxes over them. You can also swipe up to jump.
As levels get more complex you get new abilities to help you on your way. For example, commando Rolandos can grip surfaces and defy gravity. This means they can stick to the ceiling to navigate some tricky or impassable areas.
