About

Like A Rolling Stone

Features
Read full description

A boulder breaks loose high on the mountain — and now there's no stopping it. Only rolling. Like A Rolling Stone is a fast, one-thumb 3D endless runner where YOU are the runaway stone, tearing down an endless jungle hillside while trees, boulders, fallen logs, and startled wildlife rush up to meet you. Steer through the gaps, leap the logs, snatch every glittering coin — and whatever you do, don't stop. HOW TO PLAY - Swipe left and right to steer your boulder down the slope. - Swipe up to jump over fallen logs and leap clear of animals. - Scoop up gold along the way to grow your haul. - The farther you roll, the faster you go — how long can you last? FEATURES - True 3D descent — a behind-the-boulder chase camera barreling downhill through a living jungle. - One-thumb controls anyone can pick up in seconds, with depth to master. - Choose your boulder — roll as Granite, Sandstone, Mossrock, Obsidian, or the golden Idol. - Dodge or be stopped — trees and boulders block your lane, logs trip you up, and hidden bumps send you flying. - Mind the wildlife — deer and boar bolt across the trail; time your dodge or jump clear. - Endless, escalating runs — every attempt is a fresh hillside that climbs in speed the deeper you go. - Chase your best — beat your top distance and your biggest gold haul. - Play anywhere — no account, no internet required. Just roll. Lush jungle, wild hillsides, and the simple, addictive thrill of a stone that simply will. not. stop. Can you keep the boulder rolling?
