Well I would say that Secret Exit's super power is free 3D rotation. ngmoco:) doesn't seem to have a single super power except for every game they touch being a great fit for the platform and a fun game (IMHO). I really look forward to more news on the subject.

Maybe "super powers" mean that it's a superhero game they're making?
I know; they meant it for something else. But who knows.
Secret Exit's power is 3D.
ngmoco would be................smooth?....................publi shing? I dunno.

I tried to play with it in Photoshop to see if I could find hidden details. Found nothing :( Shocker huh?
But you can see the details clearer:

I'm thinking maybe each step = a level?
And you have to climb to get the golden orchid?
I dunno just guessing.
hah. if I knew you guys would analyze the photoshop, I would have given you the higher quality
here's the full rez.

there's about 40 steps or so. i think; i was in a hurry and still am. but if so i think my theory could be valid.

are these going to be part of rolando or are there going to be three different apps?
they will probably use the 3.0 new software and make them add-ons you have to purchase but was just checking to see if anyone knew

levels will be added for free as mentioned.
but there will be sequels as seperate apps.

I can't wait for the updates to Rolando and the sequels! I am surprised that they announced two sequels at once. I wonder if the sequels will use the new 3.0 SDK features like peer to peer for a co-op or race.
As for the Secret exit collaboration, that will be cool. I can just imagine Rolando meets Zen Bound. It would be like a 3D Rolando with the Bound soundtrack. Seriously though, I wonder what the collaboration app will be.

I know how this might sound, but I hope ngmoco engulfs secret exit, similar to disney and pixar. Secret Exit remains in tact and can do what ever they want, but if they want to do a crossover, or borrow some talent... Also, I hope this gets Secret Exit the credit (and sales) they deserve. They have made it up high in the charts, but this amazing combo might get the top spot!! (or fall miserably and never make it into the top 50 because it was over hyped.)

I really cannot wait for Rolando 2 and 3. The first one was great with the most intuitive controls on the iDevices so far. Can't wait for the new level packs and all that great stuff :) Keep on creating those high quality games ngmoco!
Edit: and Secret Exit ;)
