Road Swell

Shape the ground. Take the air.

A one-thumb arcade game where the ground moves and the ball doesn't. Hold higher to raise a hill, hold lower to dig a trench, let go to fly. You never touch the ball; you make the road it rides.

What it is

No characters, no story, no upgrades.
A road, a ball, and your thumb.

A daily road shared by every player, with bronze, silver and gold measured on that road
Free play: a fresh road whenever you want one
Three goals a day: pass a blade clean, chain PERFECTs, clear walls, earn a mark
Five skies with their own hours and weather: ink and teal, red rock at dusk, a flooded quarry, a squall off the sea, the far north
Blades to duck or fly, walls to raise over, and a strip of teeth that sinks when you let go
PERFECT landings that chain, and a HOP for flying live teeth
A Roadbook that keeps every daily, your streak, and what kills you
Plays offline. One thumb, landscape on a phone. Every hazard readable with the sound off.

Six moments

The launch: the ball leaving a hill it made

Four PERFECTs in a row, at night in the rain

One road a day

The same road for everyone, with three marks measured on it.

Every day there is one road, and it is the same road on every phone in the world that day. Before you play it, the game plays it three times itself and sets the marks from what it managed, so bronze, silver and gold mean the same thing to everyone who reached them. Play it as often as you like; your best counts. Miss a day and the streak goes; today's road is still there.

Bronze

Within reach on the first afternoon. The road played carefully, no tricks.

Silver

The road played well: blades ducked clean, walls taken early.

Gold

The road flown. Take the air where the road lets you and keep the chain.
