What's Unholy Roller?

Unholy Roller is an infernal, bowling-inspired dungeon crawler where you play as the weapon. Roll yourself through hordes of barbaric, sentient pins to demolish the Kingpin’s temple of doom!

Our team began as part of the RIT MAGIC Maker Program for the Spring 2025 semester, but we will continue development through the summer as well.

Updated Features

New Pin Varieties

Thrower pins are your projectile nemeses. They'll target you with sharp darts, but they're vulnerable before and after attacking!

New Launch Types

You can switch between launching yourself straight forward and launching yourself in a curve. The powerful curve launch takes a second to learn but hours to master.

Hazards and Handcrafted Levels

Saw blades and boost pads turn each room into a puzzle. Handcrafted levels mean you can study these puzzles and find the best ways to solve them! 

Revamped Art and Soundtrack

Rock on with the fresh sprites and new music added to the game.

More Coming Soon...

We've already started working on our next big update of the game, so check back soon to see our progress!
