OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood
A 2D skateboarding game with a Daily Grind: one spot, one run that counts.
Every day: Daily Grind: one skate spot a day, the same for every player; practise it as often as you like, then take a single scored run for the global leaderboard. New puzzle: Once a day; the site does not state the time.
OlliOlli2 is Roll7's side-on skateboarding sequel, built on timing tricks, grinds, manuals and clean landings. Its Daily Grind mode gives every player the same spot each day: you can practise it, but only one run goes on the leaderboard.
About OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood
OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood is the follow-up to OlliOlli, made by Roll7, published by Devolver Digital and released on Steam in August 2015. The skating is still side-on and still about timing: flick the stick for flips, lock onto rails for grinds and press to land just before you hit the ground. The sequel adds ramps and hills with more than one route, and widens the combo system with manuals, reverts and grind switching, so a skilled player can keep one combo going across a whole section.
The game has five movie-themed worlds with 50 Amateur and Pro levels and 250 challenges, plus Spots mode, RAD mode and a local split-screen party mode called Combo Rush for up to four players. Daily Grind returns from the first game. Each day it offers one spot, the same for every player. You can practise it as many times as you like, but once you start the real attempt you get only one go, and that score goes on the global leaderboard.
Because the spots come from the hand-made levels rather than a random generator, the daily can show you sections from worlds you have not reached yet in Career. A run lasts well under a minute, which makes the daily easy to fit in, but the single scored attempt keeps it tense. It suits players who enjoyed the first OlliOlli and want more ways to chain a combo, and anyone who likes one-chance daily challenges.
How to play OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood
- Pick Daily Grind from the main menu, or from the spot selection screen in Career.
- Practise the day's spot to learn its rails, ramps and gaps.
- Flick the stick in the air for tricks, hold it toward a rail to grind and press to land just before touching down.
- Link grinds, manuals and reverts to keep the combo going and raise your multiplier.
- When you are ready, start your one official attempt; its score goes on the global leaderboard.
- Come back the next day for a new spot.

Tips
- Plan a full route in practice and repeat it on the scored run rather than improvising.
- Manuals and reverts let you carry a combo between ramps and rails; use them to avoid ending a combo on flat ground.
- A perfect landing adds more than a rushed extra trick, so do not cut the timing fine on the last jump.
- In Career, a timer shows how long is left before the next Daily Grind.
