GATEROLLER is a fast, neon-soaked arcade survival game built for players who miss the days when games were simple to learn, difficult to master and impossible to put down. Strap on your rollers, enter the grid and survive. Play as Chaz, Daisy, Leroy or The Ball, each with their own arcade personality, then race through glowing arenas packed with pixel bugs, moving gates, lasers, teleporters, bumpers, boosters and traps. Every level changes the rules, forcing you to react faster, choose smarter routes and keep your score alive long enough to escape. THE GATE IS OPEN. CAN YOU REACH IT? Your goal sounds simple: survive the arena, build enough score to unlock the gate and get out. But once the gate opens, the pressure rises. Your score can begin to drain, your trail shifts behind you and the safest route can disappear in seconds. Hesitate and the arena wins. Move too aggressively and you may trap yourself. GATEROLLER rewards quick reactions, risk-taking and learning the perfect route. 120 LEVELS OF ESCALATING ARCADE CHAOS Start with a guided training level, then face increasingly unpredictable arenas. Early stages introduce the core movement, chasing bugs and projectiles. Later levels bring moving gates, teleport portals, pinball-style bumpers, sweeping lasers, aggressive enemies, wraparound walls and huge scrolling arenas with off-screen threats. Just when you think you understand the grid, GATEROLLER changes it. CHOOSE YOUR ROLLER Take control of Chaz, Daisy or Leroy and hit the arena in classic neon arcade style. Each character brings their own personality to the world of GATEROLLER, surrounded by glowing grids, explosive effects, retro-inspired sound and pixel enemies that refuse to leave you alone. BOOST YOUR CHANCES Grab powerful boosters when the arena turns against you. Change speed. Gain an extra life. Take control of your direction. Trigger Smash Mode and turn the tables on the bugs. Knowing when to grab a booster can be the difference between escaping and becoming part of the grid. BUILT FOR QUICK RUNS — AND “ONE MORE TRY” Swipe to launch. Tap or swipe to turn. Avoid the walls, enemies, projectiles and your own trail. The controls are immediate, but mastering the arena takes timing, planning and nerve. Chase a higher score, replay levels, improve your route and enter your initials when you set a new personal best. RETRO ARCADE ENERGY GATEROLLER combines modern mobile controls with the feel of classic 80s arcade games: • Neon grid arenas • Pixel-art enemies and effects • Original arcade-inspired soundtrack • Explosions and haptic feedback • Classic initials entry • Personal high scores • Saved progress and level selection • Music, sound-effect and haptic controls • Game Center support PLAY FREE, THEN UNLOCK THE FULL GAME Levels 0–14 are free to play with ads. Free players may see occasional ads, including optional rewarded ads that can help you keep a run alive. If GATEROLLER gets its hooks into you, unlock Level 15 and beyond with one permanent in-app purchase. The Full Game purchase removes GATEROLLER ads. No subscription. No recurring payment. Just the game. WHY YOU’LL KEEP COMING BACK Every level is designed around a new pressure, hazard or combination of mechanics. Some demand precision. Some reward aggression. Some make you survive long enough to find the opening. Others turn the entire arena into a moving puzzle. The result is a game that is easy to pick up for a few minutes but gives you plenty to master. Can you survive all 120 levels? Can you beat your best score? Can you make it through the gate before the arena closes in? There is only one rule: DON’T STOP. Download GATEROLLER, enter the grid and hit the gate.

A maze with no light in it. You are the only light there is. Touch the screen and your voice goes out as a ring. Walls flare where it passes, then fade back into nothing. What you saw, you have to remember — the dark does not keep it for you. TWO VOICES, AND A PRICE A whisper is cheap and shows you almost nothing: a small circle of the world, close to you. A call carries across a room. It charges the resonators that open sealed doors — and it wakes whatever else is down here, listening. A hundred levels are built on that one choice: how much light is worth how much risk. TWELVE ACTS, DEEPENING The first ones teach you your own voice. Then something that sleeps in the dark learns it too. It cannot hear a whisper. A call, it hears. Later the world stops answering at all, and you cross whole rooms from memory while more than one thing follows the sound of you. FELT, NOT ONLY HEARD Every echo fans out under your palm through the Taptic Engine, in time with the sound. Nothing here is a recording: the soundscape is generated live — a calm pad breathing over near-silence, thinning as the dread rises to take its place. Headphones, if you have them. A dark room, if you can. WHAT IT COSTS Levels 1 to 20 are free. That is the whole hunt: both voices, sealed doors, zones of silence, and four acts spent beside things that come for the sound you make. One purchase opens the other eighty and everything in them: the pack that learns your habits, silence laid over whole maps, and the abyss — which is not the bottom. There is nothing else to buy, ever. No advertising. No subscription. No accounts, no sign-in, and no permissions to grant. ACCESSIBILITY Reduce Motion — from iOS or from the game's own settings — stills the camera shake, the parallax and the pulsing. The echo itself stays: it is the game. Sound and haptics have their own separate controls, and the menus and in-game controls are labelled for VoiceOver. iPhone, held either way. Best alone.
