Roll Away still holds up as one of the all time great puzzle games. Simple to learn, addictive, fun, mentally challenging, and maddening...this is what a great videogame should be. Even though technical bells and whistles have improved since this game was created, Roll Away is still more fun than most current games.
One of my favorite games!

I've had this game for a long time and I still play it quite often. I wish they would a Rollaway 2 because this is a great game. Its where you control a beach ball through mazes and you encounter obstacles like spikes, captivators, and falling blocks. You also collect fruit, which will get you to bonus levels. One of the most frusturating obstacles are the lethargy pills. They make the clock speed up and you slow down while everything is a blirr. This game has about 200 levels and that not even counting the bonus levels or the hidden levels. I'm only on level 79. So if you want some fun and challenging gameplay, Rollaway is the game for you.
fantastic, perfectly gorgeous

i was hooked on this game 5 minutes into playing it, the music, the graphics, the playability, the overall wham that it smacked into my face. im not usually into puzzle games, but i tried this out and i absolutely loved it, everything about it, it is just... perfect. u r a ball that goes through levels of blocks suspended in the air, sounds boring, but the way that they pulled it off was fantastic, if you like strategy puzzle games, get this, if u dont, get it anyway, i guarantee a good time while playing this. i would have its babies - 12 stars
Roll Away is great!

I find this game highly addictive. It has tons of levels and simple controls. I picked up the controls in about 5 seconds and loved it! I recommend this to anyone who likes a game with nearly endless gameplay. Great game.
Lots of fun - even for a non-gamer!

I bought this game used for a friend and now I'm hooked! The rules are simple and you don't need to use many of the controller buttons so you can jump in and start playing right away. If you are lucky enough to find a copy, buy it! You'll spend hours rolling that bouncing ball through the various 3-D mazes looking for the keys before you run out of time.

Such a pity we don't get more puzzle games these days. I'm sure there is a market for it! Anyway, Kula World leaves us dreaming for more. For me it's even more than a game, it's a way of improving my 3D-insight. Whish there were even more levels. I allways kept wondering what the coloured door in the last bonus level (with all the L-shaped 'things to walk on') is for. I never got to open it, but I like to dream about even more bonus levels behind it. Anyone? for now, I have 150 levels, 30 bonus levels, 15 hidden levels and 20 extra levels. more please?
One of my favorites

If you enjoy puzzle and maze games this one is a blast. The visual 3D effect rotating through space while rolling and jumping is a bit trippy especially during the bonus rounds. It is easy to lose which side is up. I do suggest trying to rent it first since this game is not for everyone.

Different Play modes allow for time trials, point totals and two player follow-the-leader. The time trials section has 301 puzzles to solve by moving on a series of connected and not connected blocks as you, a beach ball with specific rules of gravity, move throughout gathering keys in order to exit with the needed times. Hours of mind engrossing enivornments to venture through.
A unique and addictive puzzle game

Containing over 150 levels of play, Roll Away requires you to traverse various gravity-defying mazes using a beach ball, of all things. Sound a little strange? Well, it is, but the gameplay is also wildly addictive. The game is very well-designed and features a smooth-as-silk learning curve and an enjoyable euro soundtrack. My only gripe is with the save system, which can only be activated every few levels. This often causes you to back up and complete the same mazes over and over again until you can get to the save point. That little annoyance aside, Roll Away is one of those little gems in your software library that you will return to again and again just to get a little further. Not your run-of-the-mill game, Roll Away is sure to entertain puzzle fans for many hours.
