[R1] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US Not worth the time it takes to download: 10 seconds of gameplay for 30 seconds of ads? Fuuuuuck that absolutely not worth it. This game is NOT that fun.
[R4] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US There is to many adds: This game makes me so mad because there is an add after every round
[R6] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US Ad problem!!: The game is fairly fun, but there is an ad after every level
[R13] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US ADS !!: so many ads it makes the game unplayable!!!!!!!
[R33] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US This is a good game but..: This game is amazing and fun, but the only thing is that I BOUGHT no adds thinking it would work and it didn’t. I know 2.99 isn’t a lot but I literally BOUGHT it. I usually don’t have issues with voodoos games but I’m kinda upset that they literally just scammed me.
[R7] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US To much adds also boring: To much adds also boring
[R9] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US It’s a ok game there is a lot of better than this game.: There is way better game I would rather play.
[R21] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US Kinda mid: Not good not bad kinda just a little to mid
[R11] Spiral Roll 4/5 · US i like this game but theres an issue: whenever you roll the wood into a really big spiral at the end it floats off into the sky and then the game is stuck and you have to redo the level.
[R16] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US A lot of ads and lag: There’s a lot of lag. Ad’s after every game it’s horrible
[R35] Spiral Roll 5/5 · US I would rate it 5 stars but…..: This is 2 stars out of 5. The reason why is when you break the shovel it glitches everywhere, same for many. The only good ones are the lightsaber, crystal sword, and the basic one. Scores over 10,000 don’t even show up on the leaderboard. The bricks have terrible physics. The score at the end of the level sometimes is rigged, so when you have a score of 45, it’s 40
[R52] Helix Jump 5/5 · US Helix: It’s so fun and relaxing
[R53] Helix Jump 3/5 · US Add: This game is a really fun but the amount of ads there is , is actually insane . Theres an ad almost every time I finish a level so it’s very frustrating trying to enjoy the game when you’re interrupted every three minutes . Would be an amazing game if this issue was fixed ..
[R54] Helix Jump 1/5 · US Power hungry: Cant play without wi-fi nor without an ad every five seconds
[R55] Helix Jump 4/5 · US I love it but why: This add crash me phone and lagging I know is my favorite but no hate okay
[R65] Sushi Roll 3D 2/5 · US Too many ads: The game is good and I like the game play but I seriously hate the amount of ads. If you want to unlock something it’s an ad which is normal but if you decline the new offer they still make you watch an it during or after every meal/plating. Sometimes you’ll get a vip and you have to watch an ad to continue, there’s no skipping the ads unless you pay and I’m not down for that.

[R67] Sushi Roll 3D 3/5 · US This is really satisfying: This game is actually really satisfying, but when I realized that the ad down from a different game, I was playing it cockroaches in the sushi so it’s not so bad. I don’t really like it but it’s still satisfying.
[R68] Sushi Roll 3D 1/5 · US Bad.: Too many ads, and low quality
[R44] Spiral Roll 4/5 · US fun but…: I really do love this game❤️it’s fun and relaxing after a long day at school or work🏫. But I do feel confused about parts of the game🧐. but other then that you should download this app🥳.
