- Baby Mode Announcement - 11 January 2020
Lately I've mentioned I'm working on a new Endless Roll mode, planned to be release in February. If you've missed the news you can read more about it here: https://steamcommunity.com/gid/33889449/announcements/detail/1693848448225676328 I've also mentioned a Baby Mode Difficulty that will come along with the update, and I just wanted to shed more light on it. What is Baby Mode?It is a difficulty level for those who generally enjoyed the concept of Dark Roll but found the overall experience too frustrating, unable to beat the early levels. It's meant for casual players who want to finish the game without breaking their keyboard / controller. I admit that Dark Roll is not an easy game. As of now only 2.5% of people who played the game have finished it. And that number speaks for itself. How does it make the game easier? While the Baby Mode is turned on and the player falls off the map or…
- Endless Roll Announcement - 29 December 2019
I have some exciting news for you people! A big update is coming. For a while, I've been working on a new game mode for Dark Roll. It's called Endless Roll and it's innovative enough that I believe it would even work well as a game on its own. But that's not all I'm getting ready for you. So what will the near future bring for Dark Roll? Endless Roll ModeWhat is it about? Do you know this genre of endless runner games, that are popular on the mobile market nowadays? It's similar. Last as long as you can, get as far as possible. The road behind you crumbles... There's a huge fire portal before you and it moves forward... But get too close, and it will consume you. The longer you last, the faster you'll have to roll. The road will become more dangerous as well. Procedural Generation The road you roll through is procedurally generated. It means that each time you start over, the path will…

- Patch 1.0.2 and the future of Dark Roll - 24 August 2019
Patch 1.0.2 is here: Steam Cloud support. Your progress is now saved on Steam servers. If you want to play Dark Roll on another computer, your previous progress will be downloaded from the server. Just keep in mind that you have to run the game at least once after this update for your saves to be uploaded to Steam servers. I also have a question for you. Yes, you! I do plan to release more content in future. I don't want to spill too much right now... But what I'm planning on is expanding the game in new, various, fun and exciting ways. And a thought went through my head - should new content be accompanied by new Steam achievements? You may wonder "Why would this be any kind of a problem for anyone?". See, some people on here are true achievement hunters. And once you get 100% achievements in a game, it may seem unfair for new achievements to be released. I want to know your opinion so…
- Patch 1.0.1 - 15 August 2019
A patch fixing few minor issues has been released: Fixed a bug where while the game was paused, player could press jump couple of times to jump really high after unpausing the game. While paused, pressing escape is now unpausing the game. Previously it would quit game / quit to lobby. When entering The Lobby for the first time a window pops up with few key informations that weren't previously mentioned anywhere. If you haven't reviewed my game yet, please do so. What people think matters a lot to me. It will help me to continue improving myself and make even better games in future!
