It’s no longer big news that one of the most anticipated games since the introduction of the App Store, is nearing it’s release. Today, just to help the hype-machine along a bit more, ngmoco has released a new trailer of the game on it’s blog, showing in-game play as well as various in-game controls you’ll have to get to grips with. As if you couldn’t wait for the game’s release any longer, we thought we’d join in on the hype. Hit the jump to see the new Rolando trailer.

4 worlds. 36 engaging levels.

If you’ve been living in a bubble lately, or just haven’t heard of Rolando yet – Rolando is a fun, cute little title from ifunded corporation ngmoco. The game features ‘rolandos’ which undoubtedly take their inspiration, look and form from Sony’s Loco Roco franchise. In the game you’ll battle through Rolandland, a colourful, peaceful, place of harmony – that was until an evil shadow befell the lands. You will help to save a whole kingdom from destruction. The king and queen of Rolandoland are counting on you.

“Rolandoland is in peril and the Rolandos need your help! Use innovative tilt, tap and Multi-Touch controls to guide the Rolandos through four visually-distinct worlds and 36 engaging levels. Solve physics puzzles, toy with the interactive environments and evade pesky enemies as you lead the Rolandos to victory.”

The title is expected to be released on December 18th (tomorrow), with some users thinking it could actually hit shortly after midnight tonight (17th Dec). Either way, rest assured that we’re on the scene, and we’ll let you know the second it becomes available on the App Store.
