  1. [R22] Spiral Roll 2/5 · US Fun Concept, but…: This game has potential. The concept is fun and different. However, that’s where the good stuff ends! On the very first turn, as you dig your spiral and launch it, there’s an ad. You don’t even get to see your spiral hit the wall!! The 2nd turn, an ad while digging. Third turn, another ad. To revive a turn you have to watch a 30 second ad that can’t be exited early. An ad for ev
  2. [R17] Spiral Roll 5/5 · US Love this game: This game is so much fun to play when I have nothing to do I play this game and it’s so amazing and I love to who ever make this game you are doing a good Joe and I love your work
  3. [R56] Spiral Roll 5/5 · US Very good so fun and entertaining please download 5stars: Kk
  4. [R57] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US Boring: It’s the same thing over and over again it’s annoying. It’s not worth it to download bc the game doesn’t update its the same level over and over again.
  5. [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.
  6. [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
  7. [R6] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US Ad problem!!: The game is fairly fun, but there is an ad after every level
  8. [R13] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US ADS !!: so many ads it makes the game unplayable!!!!!!!
  9. [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
  10. [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.
  11. [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
  12. [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.
  13. [R15] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US About the game: It’s pretty good! I don’t like the ads it’s affecting how I feel and I wish I could buy no ads for a low price.
  14. [R96] Soap Cutting 3/5 · GB TOO MANY ADS: Ok so this game is SOOOOOO satisfying but there are too many ads! Every time you finish cutting ONE soap there is a stupid ADD THIS game is almost unplayable which is why I give this 3 stars i think if you where to change with no ads i will find use buying some cool things but NO I warn you now DO NOT GET THIS APP
  15. [R69] Soap Cutting 3/5 · US Great game super satisfying but way to many adds: So I used to have this game in my fire iPad and so now I got it on my phone but it is full of adds. When you want to create your own soap you have to watch an add or you have to “miss out.” That’s upsetting so if you don’t like adds don’t get this
  16. [R63] Soap Cutting 3/5 · US Glitch?: I got to level 120 and there was no soap for me to cut what is this?
