Y2ROLL

Y2Roll is that one difficult Wiiware gem you couldn't complete from earlier days even as a demo, and coming back to complete now would give you issues. It perfectly captures that monkey ball experience from the 2000's: the uncooperative camera, punishing physics and precise stage layouts. The difficulty gradually spikes around 3-4 worlds into the game (yet still maintaining line between fun and challenging). The last two worlds will definitely test your patience, skill and endurance. Some stages require certain tricks and techniques, especially if you want to aim for gold medals. The addictive Jungle DnB music keeps you pushing through as you replay stages to collect all the gems or even aiming for better time! For a short game it was satisfying to complete, I recommend it even as an introduction into the Monkey Ball genre.

Fun & lovingly crafted. I ended up really enjoying the feel of the movement; there's a lot of cool tricks the game expects you to do later on. The levels are mostly straightforward but require a good amount of skill to complete, too, especially if you're going for the gold medals. And of course, the visuals and music are lovely. The vibe of the game is excellent. There's one thing I feel is missing though: some sort of quick-restart button, or the ability to pause during the winning animation. When going for gold times, it's frustrating to get a silver & then have to sit through the level complete animation before trying again.

you are a marble, you roll. spend 15 dollars NOW.

Pretty fun marble game! I loved the music & visuals.

fun marble platformer with a perfect difficulty curve, not too easy, not too hard, plus has great music!

It's decent fun, still learning the mechanics as I go. It'd be nice to have unlocks for the ball after each zone like a glass marble or a ball using cubemap reflections etc.
