How to play
Rollwave is a 3D ball rolling game on a neon track that floats over an empty synthwave sky: slide to steer, tap to hop the gaps and roll all the way round the glowing tubes. The speed climbs for the whole run across 100 levels in ten chapters, so chain orbs for a ×8 multiplier and make your three lives last.
- The ball rolls by itself and keeps getting faster. Slide your thumb, move the mouse or hold ← → to steer it across the track.
- Tap, click or press Space to hop over gaps, holes, low hurdles and low lasers. Tall pillars have to be steered around.
- Collect orbs one after another to build your multiplier up to ×8. Missing two in a row on the line you are riding resets it.
- Roll through the ring at the end of each level without slowing down. Falling off the track or hitting a block costs one of your three lives.
- Grab power-ups as they appear: Magnet, Shield, Score ×2, Hover, Phase and Time Warp.
Controls
- ← → or A / D to steer
- Space, ↑ or W to hop

About Rollwave
Rollwave is a 3D endless runner in which you guide a glass ball down a glowing grid track hanging in a synthwave sky, with a striped sun on the horizon and nothing but empty space below the edges. The ball rolls on its own at about 58 km/h, reaches roughly 156 km/h after five minutes and keeps climbing toward 259 km/h; falling off, dropping through a hole or hitting a block costs a life, and the ball is back on the track at once, at the same speed, as a ghost for a second and a half. One run is a non-stop ride through 100 levels in ten chapters: Sunset Grid, Glass Gaps, Pulse Blocks, Neon Tubes, Wire Beams, Split Paths, Laser Lattice, Skyjump, Flip Side and Overdrive. Each chapter adds something new, from holes in the grid and sliding blocks to tubes you can roll all the way round, narrow beams, forks, low and high lasers, ramps to floating islands and flip pads that throw you onto a second deck overhead. Levels 5, 15, 25 and so on are orb-filled bonus stretches, levels 10, 20, 30 and so on are Warp Runs lined with boost pads, and after level 100 the chapters come back mixed together as endless levels.
Rollwave is an original game made for Rankeno Play and released in 2026. It plays free in desktop and mobile browsers with nothing to download, and finished runs are ranked on the Rankeno Play leaderboards, where every score starts from level 1.

Rollwave tips and strategy
- A hop keeps you in the air for 0.7 seconds and clears low hurdles and full-width gaps. You can still hop for about 0.09 seconds after rolling off an edge, and a tap made up to 0.12 seconds before you land hops again the moment you touch down.
- Orbs pay 10 points times your multiplier. The multiplier steps up to ×2 after 5 orbs in a row, ×3 at 12, ×4 at 22, ×5 at 35, ×6 at 50 and ×8 at 70; four seconds without an orb drops it one step. Gold orbs are worth five times as much, and the pink prism orbs on jump arcs lift the multiplier a whole step.
- Hop on a ramp or in the instant after its lip for SUPER AIR. Every tenth of a second you stay airborne beyond 0.7 seconds earns 10 points times your multiplier, and you keep a little steering in the air to line up the landing.
- Passing a pillar with less than 0.3 metres to spare scores a CLOSE bonus of 25 times your multiplier, threading a one-lane gap between pillars above 45 m/s pays 50 times it, and so does a hop taken in the very last instant before a gap.
- Every run begins with three lives, and up to five can be banked. Your first crash on levels 1 to 3 is forgiven, clearing three levels in a row without losing a life gives one back, so does finishing a Warp Run cleanly, and each bonus level hides a heart crystal near one edge of the track.
- Each level gate pays 25 points times the level, doubled if you lost no life on it, and a clean Warp Run adds 500 plus 50 per level. Low cyan lasers are hopped, but the red ones hang at hop height, so roll under those without jumping.
