6 itemsAbout the Game
'roll' is a simple meditative 2D endless runner. As an entity of light, explore an infinitely expanding and eroding scape of light and colour as you calm your mind and body. Uncover unique spaces and hidden secrets while collecting Stars to slowly unravel the stories that both surround the world, as well as yourself.
Relax Your Way
From the easy gameplay to the calming visuals and gentle soundscapes, relaxation is key. Play a few shorts run to journey a far as possible while a wall of shadows pursues you to aim for a high-score, or disable the shadows to explore the infinite world at your own pace.
Infinite Journeys
Every world is created uniquely; the regions, weather, secrets, and even the music itself is designed and arranged while you play. Want to revisit, or even share a world? Simply load a world's Seed to regrow it and return.
Collectible Lore
Across your journeys you will uncover Stars, stories in the form of beautifully drawn cards. Each Star not only provides you strength, but weaves deep tales from passages of introspection to interconnected legends.
Cultivate Yourself
After your journeys, you may invest collected Shards into improving your abilities. Instead of having to save for the "next unlock", any amount of Shards spent provides an increase to your capabilities, allowing you to continue to grow so you can explore faster.
Disclaimer: 'roll' has been ported from mobile. It has been updated with unique control schemes and higher-quality graphical rendering, but still maintains simple gameplay and some mid-scale texturing.
