Jam City Rollergirls

The First WFTDA-Licensed Video Game

Available for Purchase January 24, 2011

Developed by punk rock game developer and modern derby lovers Frozen Codebase, JAM CITY ROLLERGIRLS™ is the groundbreaking, history-making, first ever women's flat track roller derby video game!

Roller derby is an extraordinarily athletic endeavor with intense excitement and real competition with a bold and brash edge. Jam City Rollergirls, with its explosive graphics and creative twists and charismatic characters, reflects that the extreme team sport of roller derby is both serious and fun.

The sport of women's roller derby is exploding in popularity, and its best athletes are gaining recognition around the world. Have you ever wanted to skate as a Mad Rollin' Doll, a Texecutioner, or a Gotham Girl? Roll in the skates of Suzy Hotrod or Rettig to Rumble? This game lets anyone be on their favorite team or be their favorite skater for a few laps around the track. Or, create your own custom skater and progress through a variety of entertaining levels and venues as you skate through a season.

The look and feel of the game, the teams, and the skaters were all developed in direct collaboration with the players.

The basic rules of roller derby are stretched to their limits with wild powerups and trick moves. It's WFTDA-style derby, with real skaters, and real teams - and a lot of extra fun thrown in.

This game is a major step forward in the history of modern roller derby. The WFTDA now joins the ranks of the world's major sporting properties with its own licensed video game franchise.
