Skate-platformer OlliOlli goes 2.5D in OlliOlli World

The original OlliOlli was a sidescrolling version of Tony Hawk that existed mainly to punish your analogue stick and fingers for their numerous and various sins. Developer Roll7 followed IT with OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood in 2015, and now announce a third game in the series, called OlliOlli World.

Arsenic well every bit an unnecessary half-dimension OlliOlli World adds a new art title, and it sounds like there's a story thereto American Samoa well. "Flip and flow through the vivid and vibrant cosmos of Radland," says the description, "meeting colorful characters as you grind, flim-flam, and air your room to discover the mystical skate gods on your quest for Gnarvana."

Thither are quarter pipes, wall rides, and split routes to contend with, and missions and challenges that unlock customization options for your tricks, style, and appearance: "Want to skate in your throw flops… hope it. Want to wear a bollocks bee onesie …ok then… no judgement." I just want to wear some safety gear, Roll7. The character in the trailer doesn't have any arm guards on and already has a broken-field wrist joint. Keep the onesie, just LET me wear both dang kneepads.

OlliOlli World will be out this winter, and it's got a Steam clean page if you want to wishlist it.
