RollerBlade
A downloadable game

What is RollerBlade?
It's not a run'n'gun, it's a ROLL'n'gun!
RollerBlade is what you get when you mix Tiny Wings with a horizontal shooter and give it a few cranky turns!
Experience original and very smooth crank controls in 6 unique game modes, and challenge yourself and others in daily challenges with hundreds of gameplay variations.
Each run is unique, and it's up to you to go as far as possible, shooting, slashing, and blasting your way through an ever increasing number of foes.

Navigating the terrain gets harder and harder, and the occasional boss won't make it any easier!

Each game mode highlights a particular game mechanic:
- stay off the ground by hopping from blimp to blimp in bounce mode
- play like a more traditional railshooter in shoot mode
- use only your sword to kill enemies with their own bullets in slash mode
- play a classic Tiny Wings-like in crankless mode
- let everything loose in wild mode
- play a daily challenge or random loadout in daily and custom modes
How to play

Rotate the crank faster to use your cannon as a sword

rollerblade is free on catalog
Thanks for pointing this out! The Catalog setting page has been doing weird things with the price since I created it. I hope it will stop doing that once the game is released!
