Interesting game in that the graphics/art style have a retro PS1/N64 look to them. I don't mean that in a bad way and I think that was the aim of the devs here, so if you grew up with those kind of games like I did you'll probably get a nice feeling of nostalgia when playing. My initial impressions after about a half hour of it is it controls well on my gamepad, which is critical for this kind of game. Doesn't seem to suffer any major performance issues either. Gameplay is a bit slower then a Sonic game & level design doesn't get that complex, but also generally doesn't feel frustrating which is a plus. Overall it plays fine and has enough variety in the traps, differences in the zones, and overall content to keep you busy for a little while. For the price of a cup of coffee it's worth the couple hours you'll get out of it.

About This Game

On A Roll 3D
Roll your way through 24 huge levels across six different themes in this fast, colourful 3D platform game.
Be prepared to take on spikes, mines, dynamite, conveyor belts, springs, switches, doors, bumpers, lasers, saws, fire, ice, water, electricity, trapdoors and much much more. Each level has three areas you must navigate your way through, battling a host of enemies along the way, then a fourth and final area where you must take on one of the six end-of-level bosses! Grab the protective stars as you go and keep an eye out for the many hidden bonuses to help you on your way.

On A Roll 3D is a classic platformer that mixes the regular 2D format with a 3D twist as many of the platforms cross in front of each other. There are plenty of puzzles thrown in that combine realistic physics and logical reasoning with switches, levers and pushable blocks required to open doors and trapdoors, and to reach otherwise inaccessible places.
On A Roll 3D is an immensely fun and very challenging retro platform game!

I really like this game. The controls are simple and responsive, the graphics and sounds are polished (and adorable), and I find the gameplay pretty fun.
It's a wonderful platformer with balls. Graphics are okay, an awesome soundtrack, perfect controls and very good gameplay. Not a single level felt boring to complete and it keeps being challenging from the first to the last level. Bosses are tough, but not too hard, although they have eventually a little bit too many HP later. For everyone who loves platformers, definitely one of the games you just have to play.
just a good fun platformer
Very enjoyable indeed. A guy complained that the ball has no personality. Really?!!!
Here's the thing. I really REALLY wanted to like this game. It had a cute almost nostolgic feel in it's almost direct Sonic The Hedgehog influence. My viewers joked about the simliarities while enjoying some of the simple puzzles and the smooth art style. The soundtrack was pleasant and the enemies for the first few levels were adorable. Howver, it was about half to 3/4 of the way in we realized that the level design was actually not that great. There was a lot of repeated puzzles, a lot of blatant GOTCHA events that really didn't need to be there (really dynamite on the 3d platform? you served no other purpose), which alos brings up the items like dynamite that really didn't serve any purpose other than to be a trap. There could have been some more cleever thought put into those. I got this game for under a buck. Was it worth it for under a buck? Maybe. It filled a few hours, but I was rather frustrated with it at the end. Is it worth more than a buck? No, I wouldn't say so. This ga...
It's your poor man's Sonic 1. But that's the whole reason I bought the game. Really Easy over all, though a bit wonky at parts. All in all it's only 4 dollars, so it isn't much of a sinner.
Best Sonic game I've played in the last 20 years
This game is awesome if not a tad bit on the easy side. ( which is okay ) Everything works as it is supposed to. A+ ( 360 controller works GREAT ) Really good, fluid graphics.
Bom jogo de plataforma 2.5D que apesar de puxar pro lado da velocidade (influĂŞncia de Sonic the Hedgedog), ser simples e bem tranquilo de jogar, boa resposta dos comandos, e a diversĂŁo ser garantida mesmo depois de terminado o jogo. O personagem ser simples, mas bem feito e os chefes terem um desafio simples. Em resumo, jogo simples que te diverte, e te anima a fechar todos os achievements dele. Recomendo!
