We might just be in a new renaissance of “roll the ball to the goal” games right now.Super Impossible Roadshowed us the benefits of breaking the rules.Polyballtook it to a trippy otherworld. Now we have word aboutRoll Playing Game, which came with the description “a rhythm-driven puzzle platformer to marble at.” Oh, puns. Some developers know the way to my heart.

Even without the pun,Roll Playing Gamehas a striking,Tron-esque look to it. Though the trailer below showcases more of the action, developer Kai Hillenbrand stresses that it features puzzles and a story to unfold as the spherical protagonist avoids the giant red rollers in its quest for Ballhalla. And we’re back to puns again.
