Our take on On a Roll
The defining format is a 30-second replay window: the game lets players revisit and edit only the latest half-minute of skating footage into clips.
What is On a Roll?
On a Roll is an inline skating sports game centered on stunts, jumps, grinds, hill runs, and exploration in an open world.
Players can alter environments with an Object Dropper and create video clips from the previous 30 seconds through the Replay Editor. Career progression includes skater statistics and missions such as competitions, photo shoots, and trick-matching challenges. Local multiplayer includes a turn-based Match the Trick mission, where players compare trick performances. The game requires a controller and uses dual-analogue controls. A custom skatepark builder and custom avatar creation are listed as planned features rather than current features.
