Get scored on how close your path matches the target dotted line. Earn up to three stars per level. Get a 100% match and earn a diamond. Use diamonds in the store to get special balls and more. Be careful of objects in your path.

Add Rolling Around to your Messages app drawer using the (...) More button, and then click to start your first game. Even if your friend does not have Rolling Around yet, they'll be prompted to download it easily. Click Play to send a Rolling Around challenge to your friend. They get the first turn to match the path of a Rolling Around level. When they complete, the message will send back to you and you'll get your turn to play the same level. Then find out who can match the path better and you'll see each player's score. If you need a rematch click to play again. After the first game per friend each day, use your diamonds or watch a short video to play again. Earn more diamonds playing the full game while you wait. Level up in the full game to create challenging levels to play your friends during your iMessage games. Each time you challenge your friends it will pick a random level near the level you're playing in the full game. If you're at level 1000 but your friends are only at level 100, think how shocked they'll be that you're on such a difficult level.
