Concerns about comparisons to Dizzy Bee should be assuaged once gameplay videos start coming out. This is a wonderful interactive platformer with a neat story and wonderful, fitting graphics.

I'm kind of (meaning: very) concerned with the idea of replayability, though. 36 levels, even if that is excluding the tutorial levels, doesn't translate to a huge amount of time spent on this game. Hopefully I will be proven wrong. There are three extra objectives for every level (in addition to being required to save a given number of Rolandos), but frankly I don't see myself wanting to collect all the diamonds in every level or go exceptionally fast, especially if there are no unlockable items/levels to be gained from it.

But this is a genuinely fun experience, and perfectly made for the capabilities of the iPhone/iPod Touch.
