One block. One goal tile. One careless move and it's over the edge. Rollstone is a rolling-block puzzle built on a rule that sounds trivial and turns vicious fast: your block is twice as tall as it is wide, so how it LANDS matters as much as where it goes. Stand it up to drop into a single square. Lay it flat to cross a floor that would crack under its full weight. Read the whole board before you commit — because the board is reading you back. 1000 LEVELS, ZERO DEAD ENDS Every level is walked end to end by a solver before it ships. No board is impossible; it's only unsolved. The curve opens with a six-move roll and closes on puzzles that want a plan three moves deep before you touch the screen. 500 NEW LEVELS BUILT NOT TO REPEAT The second half of the game was generated from five distinct board architectures and filtered so that no two levels play the same way: key hunts, two-stage locks, seesaw switches, teleport ferries, alleys only half a block can enter. The HARDEST level in the first half is easier than the easiest level in the second. MECHANICS THAT STACK • Fragile floors — safe lying flat, lethal standing up • Heavy buttons that need your full weight, wide pads that take any touch • Switches that flip back every press, and seals that fire once and go dark • Bridges that appear, teleports that fling you across the board • Split tiles that break your block in two and hand you both halves IT TELLS YOU WHEN YOU'RE STUCK On the hardest boards you can reach a position where nothing kills you but nothing can win either. Rollstone detects that state and says so — every time, free. No more replaying a dead board for twenty minutes. And when you'd rather have a nudge, a hint walks you through the next eight moves and recalculates after every roll. SIX VISUAL THEMES Classic, Modern, Ocean, Mystic, Galaxy and Volcano — each with its own sky, materials and light. Switch any time, at level 1 or level 1000. CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR HANDS Swipe anywhere or use the on-screen pad — both are live at once, and the pad moves to whichever side you hold your phone. Twist two fingers like a steering wheel to spin the camera and read a nasty board from a better angle. ALSO INSIDE • Plays fully offline • Your progress backs itself up — new phone, same levels; no account, no login • A personal best for every level you finish • A short tutorial you cannot die in, plus a one-screen rulebook you can open any time • Optional one-time Ultimate: all 1000 levels open, no ads, unlimited hints, forever Easy to learn. Ruthless to master. Start rolling.
