  1. [R7] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US To much adds also boring: To much adds also boring
  2. [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.
  3. [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
  4. [R18] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US Not bad: The game is fun, entertaining,and satisfying I do wish that you could pick the wood that you are peeling but other than that I think it is a pretty good game
  5. [R12] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US meh…: alright, here’s the thing… I really don’t like this game, mostly from the ads. let’s just say that you were playing casually and you got a really high score from rolling, the spiral being really big. most of the time, there’s something that can break your tool, causing you to ‘die’. now, it’s a win-win for the game. there’s a revive button, and a no thanks button below it which I hate. even
  6. [R42] Spiral Roll 5/5 · US Message to the developers of Spiral Roll. 23 May 2025.: To the Spiral Roll Development Team, I am an avid player of Spiral Roll and have enjoyed the game daily for quite some time. Its relaxing gameplay and engaging mechanics make it a standout among mobile games. However, I have now reached the point where I have maxed out all available levels and features. While I still enjoy playing, I find m
  7. [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🥳.
  8. [R45] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US (: Way too many ads. Can’t even enjoy the game.
  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. [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.
  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. [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.
  13. [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
  14. [R6] Spiral Roll 3/5 · US Ad problem!!: The game is fairly fun, but there is an ad after every level
  15. [R13] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US ADS !!: so many ads it makes the game unplayable!!!!!!!
  16. [R2] Spiral Roll 4/5 · US !: Very fun to play on the bus when you are with your sister but to much adds!!!!!!!
  17. [R61] Roof Rails 1/5 · US Ads: SO MANY ADS! THERES AN AD AFTER LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE LEVEL
  18. [R63] Roof Rails 3/5 · US Too much ads!!!: I’ve downloaded this game since last month I like it it’s really fun and all but there’s a lot of ads and in the could round they barley give you any rails they only give you diamonds! Please fix this!
  19. [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
  20. [R81] Roof Rails 3/5 · US It’s okay game: It stoped me on a side over and over again so i spent the last hour trying to get out then I finally did it! So not that good but if u like lags then this is definitely your game-💗Ashley
