The game features 10 worlds and even more bonus levels, each of which is given a distinct theme.
It's hard to pin down how to describe Rolling Sky's look, which is really quite surreal, but one could say that it's very toy-like in a way. The ground is made up of panels that often shift and slide around, flashy beams of light are fired directly into the camera, brightly-colored hammers rhythmically pound the ground, and objects pop up as if there was some kind of clockwork mechanism at work in the background. Most things you see are distinctly cubic and blocky-looking, appearing as though they're made from some knockoff Lego product. Virtual environments are crafted from 3D visuals that, while simple in structure and design, are assembled in such an aesthetically-pleasing way. It helps that Rolling Sky is a very good-looking game. You may not be able to jump, sprint, fly, shoot fireballs or enjoy invincibility, but play Rolling Sky for a few minutes, and you won't notice. When you reach the end of a level, it really feels like an accomplishment. There's a great amount of trial-and-error involved, as crashing results in having to restart the level you're playing from the beginning, but as long as you learn from your mistakes, every failure is really just another step closer to victory. You need good reflexes, hand-eye coordination and memory to succeed. It may sound simplistic when compared to something like Temple Run, but there is indeed a simplistic beauty to Rolling Sky's gameplay. Finally, there are no power-ups to grab, and there's no store from which you can purchase upgrades.
There's also no free jumping you can only move left and right. For one thing, it's not really endless every level has a set beginning, middle and end, with none of the usual randomization to be found. However, it eschews a lot of the tropes that go hand in hand with the genre as well. It abides to the basic conventions of the genre your avatar, represented as a simple sphere, automatically rolls forward, and with a few simple swipes, you weave your way back and forth past the many hazards obstructing your path. If Rolling Sky were to be classified as anything, the endless runner would be the safest bet.
