Play as a boulder-rolling challenger in a campaign that sends you through comic, often surreal takes on historical and mythological settings and characters.
In the central battles, place defensive units along a course to protect your gate, then control a boulder as it races down a track, dodges obstacles, and crashes into the opposing gate. Your rival builds defenses and launches a boulder in return.
The campaign includes different challenges and modes, with stars used to unlock further stages. You can also build and share custom levels, try modes such as Time Trials and Boulder Avalanche, and play multiplayer online or in local split-screen.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its unusual blend of boulder racing and tower defense, absurd historical comedy, and the fun of playing with friends. Some also appreciate the range of boulders and modes and the ability to make custom levels. Other reviews find the humor or campaign less engaging, and recurring complaints focus on bugs, uneven difficulty and balance, and progression that can feel repetitive.
