Details

The full picture

Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.

01

What the game is

ROLY is a physics platformer released October 11, 2026 at $4.49.

Most platformers give you legs - ROLY gives you a round, heavy body.

You gain speed downhill, lose it uphill, and keep rolling after you let go of the button.

02

Moves and the Zug

Weighted jump: hold to reach the top of the arc, release to cut it short; super jump: a power bar fills as you roll and sends you far higher than you should go.

Wall climbing lets you press into a tall wall and climb in hops, alternating sides in a narrow shaft to rise faster.

Black dust is a short-range attack that undoes the creature next to you - touch a Zug and it inflates, turns red, blinks three times and drops what it was holding, which then bursts in a Bomberman-style cross.

03

Levels, vanity and who it is for

The Zug is not alone: slimes that split when killed, flyers that own the empty air between platforms, four-legged chargers and skeletons that lie on the floor like scenery.

1,872 tires with 52 textures and 36 shapes are pure vanity - none of it changes the physics, only how you look when you miss the jump.

100 levels run from open sea crossings to caves where a mistake costs a life (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-13).
