About the game
Rolê do Tatu is a fast platformer starring a tatu-bola, the little Brazilian armadillo that can close into a perfect ball. Run on four legs, then curl up on the way down: as a ball you keep your speed, shrug off stings and thorns, skip across lagoons like a pebble and bounce sky high with a well-timed dive. And when a wall is too high, do what armadillos do best: dig.
Roll through nine places across Brazil, each with its own idea and its own music: the dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses, a ride on a pink river dolphin in the Amazon, Iguaçu Falls, the roof of the São Paulo metro at night, the slopes of Ouro Preto, Sugarloaf in Rio and Pelourinho in Salvador. Every stop ends with a postcard to Grandma with a true fact about the place.

Tips
- Hold the jump to go higher.
- Roll fast into the water and you skip across it like a pebble.
- Low beams ahead? Curl up to pass under them.
- Underground, steer with the arrows and go up to pop out.
- Every stop hides three postcards, and some are buried under an X.
- Three stars per stop: arrive, find the three postcards and beat the par time.
