Template:Infobox game

Rolling Sky Remake (abbreviated as RSR) is a game developed by Pão. It is an easier and more accessible way to edit RS levels for the cost of being more limited as of now. It includes an user friendly Level Editor along with a Level Importer & Exporter so you can play the levels of others, or even edit them (some levels have passwords that you need to enter in so you can edit the level).

Editing

As of now, RSR offers quite a couple of obstacles, from trees to snakes, or lasers. The game lets you choose from 5 soundtracks for your level, including Massif-Volcano with the ability to upload your own audio file. The speed also ranges from 1 to 10 and it lets you Preview (playing the level without the ball, leaving you without the need to play trough the level without dying) or Play (playing the level normally) your level whilst editing.

There are 17 themes available (Massif, Sky, Forest, Arctic Desert, Desert, Volcano, Illusion, Forest, City (Gray), City (Yellow), Sci-Tech, Illusion Sci-Tech, Tetris Blue, Tetris Purple, E-Labyrinth, E-Labyrinth Purple, Monody and Castle in the Sky. There's also the 3 themes from 1UP/8Bits but those can't be chosen yet.

The game lets you choose your starting theme. A level name and author can be chosen, along with a description for version 0.0.5a (was later removed). All the settings mentioned before commonly bug out after playing the level, meaning the you have to set up your speed, music, theme etc. manually every time you play a level. The game saves your level in a .rsr file. Before in version 0.0.4a, it saved it in a .png format, the in game editor also didn't exist, so you had to paint the level in an image editor.

Playing

Rolling Sky Remakes gameplay is similar to those of RS, but not perfectly equal, due to the different collision system, ball control system and occassional bugs. To play a level, you must hit the play button and scroll to "Import", then chose the desired .rsr file and play it.

Trivia

  • This game has an Easter Egg where you have a small chance to have your background changed to the Volcanos theme instead of the Massif theme.
  • The 5 levels in the play section are recreated, but not fully and precisely, level 5 can't be played at all as of now.
  • The music used for the "Import" level is those of Cloud.
  • This game has 2 dedicated and official Discord Servers, Rolling Sky Gênesis and RL | Rolling Sky Remake.
  • Music from the YouTube to MP3 converting site ytmp3.cc doesn't always work due to codec incompabilties provided by the website.
