Featuring 5 tracks of varying difficulty, can you steer the wheel to finish line on all of them?

In this competitive physics based racing game you will participate in downhill with just A SINGLE WHEEL.

You can steer it, balance it, but there is no gas or brakes. Only option for acceleration and deceleration is your choice of trajectory!

The input is just a simple left/right steering that will apply force to the wheel. Apply too much and you can go off track, apply little and you can straighten or stabilize the wheel.

You also get to compete against your ghost!

While the longest track takes just around a minute to complete, that one minute is going to be quite a thrill!

Now, have you got what it takes to be the ROLLHILL champion?

I don't remember how i found it but i loved the handling and feel in Apex Rally so im excited to check this one out

The itch version is heavily outdated, our much improved, closed-beta version is available on Android. If you're interested, it's best that you join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/K5sPruCbv3

good game

Thanks!

No promises, but wait a little.

Hi Tom and Imants, I'd like to see if it is possible to license and integrate Rollhill into our competitive games platform for hyper casual titles. Please feel free to email on sam.turner@met.events thanks!

Feels fairly difficult to me. I think I can never pass the damn bridge in Rockpath!

Anyway, great game. The physics seems very realistic. The idea is awesome - if all you can do is slight left and right steering and everything else is controlled by the gravity and the initial impulse, what is your chance to reach the end? That's what snowboarders do, I guess.

wait people still play this is 2020 wow this means this game is not dead yet...

Yes. :>

Cool review, thanks! I felt that if 'Forest' would be a tad nastier, then at least your video wouldn't be kid friendly anymore. :D

Awesome concept! Needs bluegrass music and a highway level

Cool to hear!
How would you rate the difficulty of the game and did you finish on all 5 of available levels?

(+2)

I did! I would rate the first three levels as easy, and the last two (snowtop, forest) as somewhat challenging. If any more levels were to be added, I think they could be much harder.  It looks like you designed a lot of these levels to make it impossible for the player to "cheat", but I see that as an invitation to find my own shortcuts.

It's such a satisfying physics engine; you've got something really cool here!

(1 edit) (+1)

It's actually how I play the game myself. I still find new and crazy shortcuts in Forest from time to time, despite that I myself made those levels. I blocked out some game-breaking shortcuts or made them harder or useless, but overall it's kind of welcomed to try and break and shave off seconds. 

We've resurrected the project! 

If you're interested, we have opened community Discord server: https://discord.gg/uGzUY9UZrD

We are running a private test at the moment, if you want, can join in on the fun.

Recent updates have introduced improved physics and we're changing focus away from simple tracks to SNOWTOP/FOREST like going forwards or even more challenging. Core audience only plays FOREST anyway - join in on the fun and shortcut finding.
