Get rolling with Zimro in this unique endless distance game.

It’s for fans of the genre that are tired of simply running straight ahead.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

Rolling Zimro features endless spinning worlds that you can trip on. You must guide your peaceful hero, Zimro, through them by avoiding gaps, UFOs, barrels, campfires, and so much more. You’re able to jump, fly, and slide over and through obstacles, but you will surely fail at some point. It's a good thing there are tons of munchies to collect and store in your stash, which can be used to buy new gear and give you a better chance at climbing those Game Center leaderboards.

If you’re looking for something new from the endless distance genre, Rolling Zimro is it. Its beautifully rendered low poly worlds are just fun to look at; they’re also a total trip because they spin like crazy. Each world is procedurally generated, so you won’t come across the same challenge twice.

Rolling Zimro is best played in short bursts since you won’t find much variety outside of the fact that the worlds spin. If you enjoy deeper gaming experiences, Rolling Zimro isn’t the game for you.

It’s not all about luck either, as you can actually steer the ball by bouncing it off of difference sections of your paddle.

Like most time management games, Stand O’Food can feel a bit repetitive after a while. It’s best played in short bursts. If you want a deeper experience, you won’t find it here.
