Early iPhone platformers Rolando and Rolando 2 get Retina display updates, price drops

Update finally rolls around

Early iPhone platformers Rolando and Rolando 2 get Retina display updates, price drops

It's been a while since the name Rolando has been heard in these parts. HandCircus's early iPhone platformer and its sequel – one of the first games to experiment with the freemium model – formed part of the cheerleading chorus for iPhone gaming in the platform's early days, but they've been neglected of late.

Many months after the first iOS 4 and Retina display update started to hit the App Store, Rolando and Rolando 2: The Quest for the Golden Orchid have both received the high-res treatment.

To celebrate this belated advance, both games are on sale for 59p, down from £1.79 and £2.99 for games one and two respectively.
