Our take on Polyroll

Players who want a long campaign may hit the wall at the estimated 4 to 10 hours of playtime. Those who prefer open-ended exploration may find the 36-level progression too structured, with the game focused on moving through stages and defeating bosses.

What is Polyroll?

Kaiser Kiwi has taken the player’s roly poly friends to Frigid Castle, and the goal is to rescue them.

This retro, 2D platform adventure spans 36 levels across a colorful world of bugs, enemies, hazards, hidden gems, and bosses. A super shell lets the player spin, bounce, roll, and ricochet through each stage. Eleven bosses include a stoplight, appliances, and a spider trapped in a computer case. The vendor estimates 4 to 10 hours of playtime. The game also features branching levels and a retro style inspired by classic platformers.

02Shell-Based Movement: The shell can spin, bounce, roll, and ricochet across the levels.
