directional-roll

Suppose you're at peace at home (laying on the floor), and a dastardly villain (the housecat) appears and demands your goods (meows at you to feed her). What direction would you tactically roll to escape?

• Forward, to startle the beast~
• Backwards, a safe retreat~
• To the left, to escape to higher ground (the couch)~
• To the right, directly into the wall~
