Go beyond the stratosphere in Space Station, navigate the well-worn paths of Boulder Passage and enter the vivid world of interactive playthings that is Toy Town in the On A Roll 3D Levels 7 - 9 DLC. It's available now and launches with a 15% discount for the first week. Once purchased, just launch the main game and the DLC will be selectable once you start a game. Enjoy! And we'd love to hear what you think of the new levels.

[previewyoutube=uATPDfToe7M;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] On A Roll 3D - DLC We've got some great news for you all - we are happy to announce that in a couple of months we'll have three brand new levels of On A Roll 3D for you as downloadable content. The new levels are Space Station, Boulder Passage and Toy Town. With a host of new game mechanics, the three levels each have three areas and a boss like the original six. We've also created a new soundtrack for each level and a fastest times leaderboard for each area. There's lots more info, screenshots and a trailer video on the DLC page and more on our website. The DLC will be available on 6th May 2022, and we hope you're as excited as we are for this release. Feel free to drop us a message in the comments or the forums if you have any questions/comments.

We've given the original On A Roll - known as On A Roll 2D and available as DLC for On A Roll 3D - a bit of a graphical makeover. We've redone all the sprites and doubled the resolution of them so the game looks much better on high definition displays. Let us know what you think. Hope you enjoy it!

Bit of a plug here for another new release of ours... The Penguin Factory, a 3D puzzle game is now available on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux: https://store.steampowered.com/app/486180/The_Penguin_Factory/ For those that remember On A Roll 3D's Steam Greenlight days, The Penguin Factory was in Greenlight shortly afterwards. Whereas On A Roll 3D took a few months to be released, The Penguin Factory has taken the best part of 4 years! But we've finally finished it! Anyway if you're interested in a puzzle game with 100 challenging levels (plus a level editor) and deceptively simple controls, check it out. If you're also a fan of hitting penguins dressed as Santa Claus with giant wooden mallets, it has that too :)

We've released a small update to On A Roll 2D (the original 2D version of the game which is DLC associated with On A Roll 3D). The update contains some minor fixes and a similar overhaul to the user interface that On A Roll 3D received recently. We've also added on-screen controls for those of you with touch screen devices.

Here's another release with a ton of graphical updates, particularly to the UI, including text, menus, buttons and so on. This update should also fix the long-standing issues some people have been having with setting screen resolutions, where resolutions weren't being remembered, or were getting stuck at certain sizes that couldn't be changed from the menu. If anyone does have any further issues with this, just drop us an e-mail or post on the forums. For those that don't know, the game was release on the Xbox One last month, so this update brings the Steam version in line with the changes made on that platform. Thanks!

For fans of our ever-increasing presence on Steam, we've just released our fourth game - Square Route! It's a puzzle game a bit like Lemmings where you must guide up to four squares to their targets by modifying their terrain using turntables, springs, reversed gravity and ladders, and building/destroying platforms. It has 120 levels and, as with all our games, a set of Steam achievements and full controller support. You can check it out here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/678930 Thanks to everyone for your continued support for our games, it's super appreciated!

We've released an update to On A Roll 3D which coincides with the exciting news that it is now available on the iOS App Store for iPad and iPhone! We've brought the Steam version in line with the changes we've made for that platform, so here are a few new bits for you:

General Improvements

• Added on-screen controls for devices that support touch screen. Simply touch the screen in-game for them to appear and use the keyboard or a joystick to make them disappear.
• The number of lives displayed in-game has been moved up to the top-left corner with the score, time and stars. This is to ensure on-screen controls and hints can squeeze into the bottom area of the screen.
• Fixed a couple of memory leaks that could have caused the game to slow down after starting a lot of levels.
• Made a few minor physics tweaks to make killing enemies and hitting bumpers and springs a little more tolerant and a little less frustrating.
• Fixed an issue with the camera sometimes being a bit jerky on steep platforms.

Graphics Improvements

• Added support for better quality shadows. Shadows can now be off, low quality, medium quality or high quality. If you had shadows on previously they will now be set to Low Quality, so be sure to increase the quality if your hardware can support it! This can be changed via the Display Options menu.
• Similarly, added support for better water reflections. Previously water reflections could be on or off, but a third option to allow both water reflection and refraction (which looks really cool!) has been added. If you had reflections on before, this setting will now default to "Reflections Only", so add refractions as well if you can (again this is via the Display Options menu).

Just a minor update this one with one bit of requested functionality...

Improvements

• Added a "Restart Game From This Level" option to the pause menu. Useful for speed runners so they don't have to go back to the main menu to retry a level. Thanks "ledwith112" and "Mapsking" for this idea.
• Pre-loads level music before the level begins so levels start up about three times as quickly as they did before.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where jumping enemies weren't always jumping if two of them were rolling very closely together.

We're proud to announce that the original On A Roll - a 2D version of On A Roll 3D that was originally released for the Xbox 360 in 2009 - will be available as DLC on Friday 17th March 2017. For those that played the original, this version will be almost identical other than the fact that the controls have been improved and the difficulty toned down a bit. The game contains four additional levels laid out in the same form as for On A Roll 3D - i.e. three areas in each level plus a boss. A trailer and screenshots for the game are available on the On A Roll DLC page here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/487570 If anyone has any questions, just leave a comment here and we'll get back to you!

We've just released version 2.1.0 of the game, which includes a few updates and a few fixes. For those of you that have been following the recent additional achievement discussions, we've gone with the majority as promised and not added any more achievements to the game. Here's what we've changed:

Updates

• A "perfect" can now be achieved on each level by completing it without taking any hits or losing any lives, collecting all stars and defeating all enemies. The levels for which perfects have been achieved are shown on the level select screen, which also now shows the completed levels. Thanks to Real for these suggestions.
• The controls screen now allows the directional keys/joystick buttons to be redefined. So you are no longer restricted to using the arrow keys or the main joystick axis. Thanks to limelight1210 for this suggestion.

Fixes

• The "hints" setting on the options menu was not always being saved.
• The number of lives was not always displaying correctly during the game if two extra lives were gained in quick succession.
• Stopped the game occasionally attempting to post leaderboard scores when Steam was in offline mode, which resulted in a crash. Also doesn't attempt to show the leaderboards screen if the leaderboards are unavailable.
• Doesn't crash any more when you have more than 99 lives (someone, somehow, actually managed this!).
• Stopped the game from allowing you to proceed to a locked level through normal gameplay. Thanks to 'AirollBatics' ortsA for pointing this out.

After a recent discussion on the forums and in the previous "Extra Achievements" announcement, we've decided to put it to the vote. Basically we want to know whether you want two more On A Roll 3D achievements to be added in a free update, or whether you want the game to remain as it is. Here's the vote: http://www.strawpoll.me/12018705 We'll go with the majority!

A recent forum post got us thinking - how would people feel about some extra achievements being added to the game in an update? On the face of it we all like a new challenge, and free updates to the game are welcome, but we don't want to upset the people who have worked hard to "100%" the game and have already earned all the current achievements. Any thoughts/comments on this would be welcome!

They're here! On A Roll 3D Trading Cards and Badges are now available! Six trading cards are required to craft a badge (one from each of the six worlds in the game), and badges will reward you with backgrounds and emoticons. Happy trading!

We have designed a set of trading cards and badges for On A Roll 3D which are currently being reviewed by Steam and should be released within a few days. We'll post again when they're available!

Due to popular demand (three people asked us) - here is the complete On A Roll 3D soundtrack for you to enjoy: http://www.battenbergsoftware.com/audio/on_a_roll_3d_soundtrack.zip (zipped mp3 files, 128kpbs)

For those of you still having problems with getting the game to switch between windowed/full screen mode (and stay there), we've released an update. Unfortunately we couldn't replicate the issue on any of our machines, and according to our logs it has only occurred 13 times in total for everyone who has ever played the game. Nonetheless, hopefully these two changes will sort things out:

• Previously the game attempted to cache some of the 3D drawing to speed things up a bit, but it has been decided that the problems this has caused have far outweighed the benefits it can bring. So this has been removed. The impact on the game should be negligible.
• Even if the above fails, when the display mode is changed from windowed to full screen, or vice versa, the setting is saved immediately. So if the game still crashes in certain configurations, the windowed/full screen flag should be remembered for the next time the game starts.

Just a quick note to say that a few people with GTX graphics cards have reported issues running the game, which seems to be down to a faulty driver update. Reverting to a previous version of the driver, which I am reliably informed is only a few weeks older, should solve the problem.

Enjoy!

We're releasing right on 13:00 PST (21:00 GMT). We're in the chat rooms and we're keeping an eye on the forums from now onwards!

On A Roll 3D will be released on Thursday 12th February at 13:00 PST (21:00 GMT). We'll be monitoring the community hub during release and for as long afterwards as we're needed, meaning we'll be active on forums and chat should anyone have any questions.
