thanks a lot for the feedback the game is in a rebuild phase i am completly changing the levels improving controlls and physics and this feedback will be added to my docs to improve the game.

Thanks a lot for the feedback i will look into all those parts and try my best to fix them in the game rewrite since i am rebuilding it. the feedback you gave was amazing with some things other play testers didnt mention thanks

in linux to run an executable you should give the executable file the permission to be an executable, it's confusing, you can either run from the terminal or give it permission by right clicking the file go to propreties and permission and allow to run as executable

thanks a lot for the feedback. currently the game is in a rebuild phase i am rebuilding it with all the feedback i gathered, some of the things you mentioned where mentioned in other feedbacks too so i will try my best to fix the frustration and boost the pace and speed of gameplay.

thanks for playtesting the game

Really from my test and other people it works can you run from terminal and give me the errors it gives you, I remember the game having some problems on older hardware an old drivers but that should be kinda fixed.

I am a big stanley parable fun i might try the game the screenshots looks amazing.

not really but it was the first engine i ever heard of and i watched videos about it so yeah it does look like it.

idk but for pure code i use Stride community toolkit it gives a code only interface of the stride game engine and i use godot for more big games projects it's not about tools it's about the developer, while unity do integrate ai in there engine it's optional, i would still prefer using foss software because it tends to be more ai free.

idk why this reminds me of the early version of click team fusion or construct

Really nice game, i was about to curse at one point but i overcame my anger and became a jedi, thank you master.

ToonRoll 2 Development History + Major Demo Update

ToonRoll 2 started development at the beginning of 2025 as a small physics-based rolling game inspired by classic ball platformers. At first, the project was mostly experimental — testing movement, physics, visuals, and trying to find the right feeling for the gameplay.

Over time, the game slowly evolved into a much bigger project focused on hardcore platforming, speedrunning, and difficult level design.

The demo went through multiple updates, rewrites, visual changes, gameplay tweaks, performance optimizations, and full level redesigns based on feedback from players.

This devlog is a small recap of the journey so far before moving toward bigger future updates.

Early Development

The first versions of ToonRoll 2 were much simpler compared to the current demo.

One of the first major milestones was completely rewriting large parts of the game's codebase to improve performance and make gameplay smoother overall. The UI was also redesigned from scratch to create a cleaner and more polished experience.

Even at this early stage, the main goal was already clear: create a difficult but satisfying rolling platformer that rewards patience, precision, and mastery.

Demo Improvements Over Time

As development continued, the demo received multiple updates focused on improving the overall experience.

Audio Improvements

• Voice lines now replay correctly after dying
• Better transitions between voice lines and music
• Improved audio synchronization
• Better collision sounds
• Better jumping sounds
• Added interaction sounds for Blowy

Visual Improvements

• Lighting overhaul
• Improved shadows and textures
• Brand new animated skybox
• Animated jump visuals
• Dust particle effects
• Improved finish arrow animations

Optimization & Technical Changes

• Major performance optimizations
• Reduced frame drops
• Better support for low-end PCs
• Around 30% performance increase in recent builds
• DirectX 12 support on Windows
• CPU optimizations
• Removal of unnecessary real-time global illumination and volumetric fog

Gameplay Changes

• Full overhaul of Level 1
• Reworked tutorial level
• Added a brand new level to the demo
• Improved onboarding for new players
• Continued physics tweaks and balancing

About Steam

A few people asked why ToonRoll 2 does not have a Steam page yet.

Right now, the project is still heavily evolving. Many levels are still being redesigned and adjusted based on player feedback, and the story/world structure is still being developed.

The goal before releasing a Steam page is to:

• Finish the core direction of the game
• Improve the overall quality of the levels
• Gather enough feedback from players
• Build a decent community around the project
• Reach at least around 100 followers on itch.io

As a student developer, releasing a Steam page too early feels risky financially, especially before the game reaches the quality level I want it to have.

For now, the focus is fully on improving the demo and making the game as good as possible before taking the next step.

Speedrunning & Future Plans

One of the biggest goals for ToonRoll 2 is making the game fun to speedrun.

The demo already includes a built-in speedrun timer, and I really want to see how players optimize levels, discover shortcuts, and compete for faster times.

If enough people enjoy the game, I’ll also try to get ToonRoll 2 added to speedrun.com in the future.

More levels, bigger worlds, new mechanics, and future content updates are planned as development continues.

Thanks to everyone who played the demo, gave feedback, reported bugs, or simply supported the project.

This is still only the beginning of ToonRoll 2.

ToonRoll 2 Major Demo Update Out Now

A massive new update for the ToonRoll 2 demo has officially released.

This update completely improves the beginning experience, adds a brand new level, improves performance, upgrades visuals and prepares the game for future content and updates.

New Changes

• Brand new level added to the demo
• Full overhaul of Level 1 and the tutorial
• Around 30% better performance
• Brand new animated skybox
• Improved lighting
• DirectX 12 support on Windows
• Better collision sound effects
• Better jumping sounds
• Animated jump visuals for the ball
• Slight CPU optimizations
• Removed unnecessary real-time global illumination and volumetric fog

ToonRoll 2 is a hardcore physics-based rolling platformer inspired by classic ball-rolling games where precision, momentum, and patience matter.

Roll through brutal levels filled with difficult jumps, moving obstacles, traps, and risky shortcuts while trying not to fall back to the start.

The demo now includes 4 levels and a built-in speedrun timer if you want to challenge yourself and go for the fastest times.

If enough people enjoy speedrunning the game, I’ll also try to get ToonRoll 2 on speedrun.com in the future.

Thanks to everyone who played the demo and supported the project so far.

Good points thanks

Hi, i just saw your devlog post and i tried the demo, the game is amazing it's my kind of game, also the music is a banger. one problem is maybe the ballencing the attacks are really agressive for a new save, maybe the game hate me or i am bad at it.

i really liked the vibe and look of the game, i did die several times but the game is fun.

As my first impression i think that the overall game idea is nice, and the gameplay looks good, the controlls and lighting and art style could be better though the models are nice it's the effect and light and post processing effects that could be tweaked, i know it's a mobile game but some optimized effect could boost youre overall visual fidelity

Thanks for answering, I did that yesterday posted a clip in a reddit forum I got some nice feedback and most of them complained about the physics and control so I have been working on that now

Hmm so youre general feedback is:

• controlls should be improved
• the levels should tell more about the story

thanks a lot for testing the game also the story is a big part of the game and i will try to add more element about the story and the lore in the game.

thank you for youre moral support i really need it after a longue night of developement to polish the demo

Wow, thanks i played bounce tales in the past i liked it, i played a lot of games in the past similar to my game like super Monkey ball and others, you might find some things to be similar, any feedback you want to share.

I would have taken this chance to advertize my game but lately i have been enjoying Animal Well and Super Monkey Ball

so my question is What would you do if you had a game demo? like let's say i made  a game called ToonRoll 2 i released the demo months ago i still try to make new updates every 1 or 5 weeks to keep the demo fresh but i still dont get enough feedback and comment with the feedback any clues

Thank you. the game is not complete at all but altleast there is some game loop i guess. it could have lore the theme has bringed me a lot of ideas i should improve and realease a better version in the future

nice game game actually i really liked the gameplay i didn't know what to do at first but once you know how to play it's fun i did get stuck in level 4

I liked the idea it could be improved and made it a greater game it's fun to use the echo also the sounds are great. Fell free to try my submission too if you want.

Didn't know how to make them collide at first but then I found a way nice idea. Feel free to try my submission if you want of course.

Great idea and concept, I like it.

Thanks for the feedback I will for sure improve the performance, Godot makes balancing look and performance a bit hard but I will try to find a way.

For the theming I plan to create new asset to improve the asset and effect and have a better sky box and more animated levels.

For web build the effects used in the game are kinda heavy it's hard to build for web for this type of games that requires high physics usage
