Roll the Ball

Roll the Ball is a physics-based game about guiding Sparky, a ball created by Timur and his grandfather, through obstacle-filled levels. You control the ball, collect coins, pursue star ratings and uncover hidden trophies. There are no checkpoints, so each run tests your ability to make it through the course.

Story and modes

In Prelude mode, Timur puts Sparky through a test. An unexpected twist at the journey’s climax sends Sparky down a different path, beginning a story of resilience and redemption. Sparky’s encounters with Timur continue to shape the story across the game’s modes.

Time Rush challenges you to complete levels against the clock. Timur appears with hints about the backstory, while coins can be used for customization and affect star ratings. Earn three stars on a level to unlock its hard mode. The mode includes 30 levels and 6 bonus levels across three biomes.

In Challenge mode, you must last for a set time to advance. You can jump and activate slow motion, but each use of slow motion removes one star from the level’s possible three-star rating. Challenges include frenzied balls, snowmen and dynamic platforms. The mode has 20 core levels and 4 bonus stages.

Speed Run has no strict time limit: your completion time measures your performance. You make your way through obstacles and traps toward a finish line 1000 meters away. Timur guides and accompanies Sparky along the way.

Build and customize

The level editor lets you create and then play your own levels using assets from the game, including traps and falling platforms. You can collect coins to customize your ball with over 30 skins. Hidden trophies offer additional challenges, and the game also includes a range of soundtracks, voice-over narration and Steam achievements.

Prelude and challenges

Across more than 100 levels, you guide the ball through physics-based challenges, with no checkpoints to save your progress. The game also has a separate Speed Run mode for a long obstacle course, as well as the level editor for creating custom courses.
