Solve & Roll is a 2-D minimalist puzzle game in which players must use a variety of shapes to create bridges, towers, ramps, loops, slides, catapults, and more, in an effort to guide a little green ball to a shiny gold star. 

 

Each puzzle in Solve & Roll presents a number of shapes which are used by the player to influence the direction of the green ball. Players interact directly with the shapes, they can drag, rotate, and place them freely anywhere they like on screen. In order to complete a puzzle, players must place all of the shapes correctly before dropping the green ball from its starting location.

 

Although the ultimate goal in every level is to get the ball to the star, each level presents a unique physics-based challenge, requiring players to use different strategies to solve them. Players must carefully consider factors such as weight, speed, distance, drop height, balance, and timing to find solutions. As players progress to later levels, they encounter pink shapes that accelerate the ball upon contact, and add an extra layer of complexity.

​

The game features levels that range from delightfully easy to satisfyingly difficult. If one puzzle proves too challenging, players can reveal the correct placement of any shape individually, without revealing the entire solution. If players choose not to use hints, they have the option to skip a level and revisit it later. Alternatively, players can unlock all levels in the game, giving them the freedom to play in a non-linear fashion and choose which levels they want to tackle.
