Y2ROLL

I love playing ball game, this is a good ball game, YOUUUU should play the ball game :)

Solid and extremely arcadey if stylistically spartan Monkey Ball clone with a banging breakbeat soundtrack, creative level design, a slightly irritating but probably intentionally so camera, and a challenge that in true Monkey Ball style ranges from "I guess I'm supposed to get all the gems and medals, right?" (worlds 1 & 2) to "I want to shoot something with an automatic rifle while screaming" (world 7). Missed about 4 levels from the last world - 3 of them are probably doable with enough practice, but "Halfpipe Nightmare" is just a totally sadistic balance-based endurance fest that made me think it's time to move on. Probably better than the vast majority of actual Super Monkey Ball games though.

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.

Great game, a little short if you're good at monkey ball type games but with added custom levels its endless! Love it!

good music, good graphics, great game!

It's alright but what little content there is sucks. The level design is terrible. I'm a fan of marble games and picked this game up to keep me busy, and it did for a few hours. For how cheap it is, I can't say it's not worth the asking price. But I can say it's not worth your time. Go play any other marble rolling game, there are like a hundred of them on Steam. Maybe I'm being too harsh but the levels in this package really piss me off. Doesn't help that the game has a godawful camera. It's like the camera in Super Monkey Ball but like, way worse. I have a ton of time on Super Monkey Ball, I'm familiar with how the camera works in that game, and if the camera here worked half as good I'd be happy. It doesn't.
