Did you love the classic Monkey Ball or Super Monkey Ball? A hugely popular series that gained something of a cult following and a close spiritual successor is out now with Rolled Out!
Okay so it's not the same and not by the same developer, Rolled Out! is an Early Access game from Polarbyte Games and Skymap Games but it seemed to be very promising and is gaining some good early reviews. Another title that has arrived following a successful crowdfunding campaign, as it was up on IndieGoGo back in 2019 with over £40K in funding gained.

Now that it's in Early Access they have some clear goals in mind to finish it, with it expected to take 12-18 months to get it all sorted. You can see some of what they have planned for updates on their official roadmap.
Check Rolled Out! on Steam.
The game itself looks nice, though.
This really sucks as I loved the Monkey Ball series and was looking forward to playing this.

So they do! Well spotted. Still, I wish they'd mention Linux somewhere on their landing page, even if just in passing. I had almost written it off as a Windows-only game.
