Winner Sushi Roll 3D
Sushi Roll 3D 4.7★ · Free + IAP 50

Pick Spiral Roll if

Pick Sushi Roll 3D if

You enjoy cooking and food-themed games with more variety in tasks, such as making sushi, ramen, and other dishes, and find that concept more engaging despite the ad interruptions R65R71R77.

  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. [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. [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
  9. [R28] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US to much ads: first of all, there’s no ads button anywhere second of all too much ads
  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. [R70] Sushi Roll 3D 1/5 · US READ THIS REVIEW: Okay, so I liked it at first, but it just kept on going with the ADS, so I payed for the no ads pack. But the ads still came unexpectedly, but I still kept playing. It got SO BORING!! And there was a part where Trump came to visit, and I remember I was playing the game to GET AWAY from politics, so yeah, don’t EVER download this game, it’s basically a scam.
  13. [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
  14. [R93] Sushi Roll 3D 3/5 · US Needs a little changes. Or a LOT…: Here are some appreciated changes! 1. You need less ad breaks. I get that it gives you more money or smtn but like… please not so much!2. Less gross scenes! I get the rotten cheese, but COCKROACHES?! that’s a bit much if you ask me! 3.glitches! It sometimes glitches when ur in the middle of making food! 4. More food variety! Maybe add tayaki, which is a Japanese
  15. [R13] Spiral Roll 1/5 · US ADS !!: so many ads it makes the game unplayable!!!!!!!
  16. [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
  17. [R91] Sushi Roll 3D 1/5 · US Paid content not worth buying: I already bought the $4.99 pack, but ads are still present, and there are still forced ads! If I don't want to watch them, I can only exit the game. · translated
  18. [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.
  19. [R65] Sushi Roll 3D 5/5 · US Sushi Roll 3D: This game is the best game I ever had like there’s so many customers and I love sushi that sushi looks so good. Five stars.
  20. [R71] Sushi Roll 3D 4/5 · US Too many adds: Sushi roll is very fun, but has too many adds. Even though I enjoy rolling sushi and making ramen and squeezing that salmon thing, after every game and during games there are adds.
  21. [R77] Sushi Roll 3D 5/5 · US This is the best: This is help me learn how to make sushi and express myself really good and fun. Have fun express yourself.
