History VideoGame / RollAway

''Roll Away'' is a UsefulNotes/PlayStation game in which you roll a beach ball through various three-dimensional block constructs suspended hundreds of feet above various exotic locales, collecting ''x'' number of keys to open the exit to the next level whilst also collecting fruits, coins and other shiny trinkets.

* MarketBasedTitle: Enforced. [[WordOfGod Creator Johannes Söderqvist]] has stated in [[http://web.archive.org/web/20081011104919/http://www.pinkgothic.com/kulaquest/storybehind.html interviews]] that the title of the game was changed to ''Roll Away'' in America to avoid a lawsuit with the band KulaShaker.

* FollowTheMoney

* SecretLevel: A whole 40 of them. 30 can be reached by collecting five kinds of fruit and change the goal so that you have to hit every block to win, while 10 act like normal levels [[RecycledInSpace except flying through space]] and can be found in secret exits.

* DummiedOut: In Kula World and Roll Away, the 9th hidden level [[note]]The one that says "VERY WELL DONE" in big blocks to anyone who finds it.[[/note]] and the tutorial level.

* FrickinLaserBeams: {{Averted|Trope}}. Lasers behave as they would in real life - an instant continuous beam of instant continuous death.

* TechDemoGame: Not only did it show off [[GravityScrew The Variable Gravity Chamber]] in three dimensions, but it was one of the earliest [=PS1=] games to make use of force feedback. Also, the above interview (see Market Based Title) reveals that the developers used the full capacity of the hardware without really trying.

* InterfaceScrew: Red-and-yellow Lethargy Pills slow you down, speed the timer up, and cause the camera to wobble around. Blue-and-purple pills instead cause the ball to jump continuously, making your normal move distance a 2-square jump and your jump distance 3 squares.
