![]() As a further consequence of the fact you no longer make perfect full-lane motions, the collision detection found within Rolling Sky is also way more forgiving than Neon Drive as well.Īdditionally - whereas Neon Drive was predominantly focused on beat-based snap-reactions - Rolling Sky is more focused on players figuring on what the safest-path through a level might be, which is actually somewhat trickier than it might first seem. With Neon Drive’s controls you’d be expected to regularly make snap motions timed perfectly to the beat (doubly so with earlier builds), whereas in Rolling Sky you’ll often be able to successfully move yourself with less rigid timing. Something that bears further emphasis, even if it seems obviously inferable, is how this control-scheme creates a significant difference between how Rolling Sky and Neon Drive are both played. ![]() These same controls work whether your ball is safely rolling along as solid-surface (warning: not all surfaces are as solid as they might otherwise initially seem), or if your ball is currently being tossed majestically through the air. You control this game by eternally holding a single finger on your iDevice’s screen, which you then slide back and forth to likewise control your ball to move across the track accordingly. In Rolling Sky you’re tasked with keeping your ball safely rolling across ten neon-colored precariously-floating danger-filled musically-timed raceways, an experience that couldn’t help but to instantly remind me of Neon Drive (minus the invoked eighties aesthetic). I wouldn’t necessarily say that Cheetah Technology’s Rolling Sky ( out now, free) is actually easier, per se, but the game definitely features a vastly friendlier learning-curve during the first few stages. My one lingering regret with Neon Drive is just how soul-crushingly unforgiving that title tended to be, a dilemma that was only partially remedied with a later re-tweaking of its difficulty. Long-time readers of iFanzine are probably already quite aware that I loved last year’s Neon Drive ( our review), which is - seeing as how the title made our 2015 Best Games list - perhaps putting things a bit mildly.
