Polyroll
Largely bad, and it's so obviously built to pad time that it's somewhat laughable. We'll ignore the plot holes large enough to fill the Grand Canyon. Ronin warriors.

To the title’s credit, all things are in good, working order, and I have no complaints about the controls or the game’s performance. Polyroll is, by and large, a spiritual sibling to the side-scrolling Sonic games we already know and love. If you’re looking for a Sonic experience, Polyroll will handily deliver that in a small, simple, and cost-effective package.
Otherwise, this one doesn’t do much to stand out in a heavily saturated genre. PolyRoll Super Mario Sonic world? PolyRoll at a glace looks like a Sonic knockoff, but its much more than that,This 2d platformer feels PolyRoll Super Mario Sonic world? PolyRoll at a glace looks like a Sonic knockoff, but its much more than that, This 2d platformer feels like a mix of both sonic and super Mario bros, Its essentially Mario in a sonic world, you have control over the platforming rather than running and sliding all over the place, though at the same time you have the exploration opportunities and picks ups youd expect in an old school sonic game, creating a nice balance of the 2 heavy hitters of the past. PolyRoll is a very compact game though, taking about 4 hours to complete boasting its 35 levels and 11 worlds, but included in that number are bonus levels unlocked by collecting 3 gems in each level Levels here are again more designed in the tune of sonic the hedgehog than Mario bros, don to the mechanics, just minus the speed.
Though there are no checkpoints here. Parasyte anime. You have to get through each level from start to finish, gathering gems rather than rings to fill up your life gauge and picking up buffs to give you an advantage over the levels enemies and obstacles, The only take the game takes it easy on you is when it comes to the boss battles, theres a door at the end of each level to take you to that world boss. This is the only place you will find a checkpoint, if you die you start at the beginning of the boss, and thankfully not at the start of the entire level Boss battles here are the highlight of polyroll for me. Theyre challenging and varied in all the right ways, battles rarely if ever feel cheap, its just you trying to outsmart the boss, try after try after try I do feel that polyrolls levels are a bit bland, and leave you with nothing really to remeber but overall polyroll is a great nostalgic 3d platformer that fans of platforming in general should give a chance. I give Polyroll a 7.5/10 Expand.
About The Game
Polyroll, the roly poly with attitude, uses his super shell to spin, bounce, roll, and ricochet across the land on a mission to save his friends from the clutches of the evil Kaiser Kiwi. Polyroll’s colorful bug-themed world is infused with retro charm inspired by classic platformers and chock full of inventive hazards and enemies. Eleven insane bosses stand between the hero and his friends, including a crazed stoplight, haywire appliances, and a giant spider stuck in a computer case. With locked-away paths and 96 hidden gems, there will be plenty of incentive to revisit the game’s levels to uncover branching paths and secret areas.

History
Polyroll was initially conceived as a Sonic fan game in 2010, and then later expanded into a full game with unique mechanics. “When we first released Polyroll on iOS in 2012, it had been a really long time since a 2D Sonic-inspired game had been released,” says developer Justin Craig. In 2018, a PC version was showcased at the Sonic Amateur Game Expo, where it was a surprise hit.
Instead of copying directly from Sonic’s playbook, Developer Spicy Gyro Games knew that mixing the familiar with new ideas was key to hooking new players. “Everyone always associates Sonic games with speed, but I thought there was more to explore with the ball mechanic,” explains Craig, a long-time fan of classic platformers. “It completely changes how you think about movement when you can ricochet off of any wall in the level, not just bumpers and springs.”
Together with HOF Studios and Shiny Dolphin games, Polyroll was completely remastered for the new release. Along with reworking the pixel-art, they added five new levels, a new boss, and even more hidden collectibles into the new release to make it even better. Additionally, the game features updated controls and tweaks that will please both the fans of both the original game and players of pixel-perfect platformers alike.
