## What is Snow Roll?

“There’s something wonderfully freeing yet restricting about this ages-old [chess bishop movement] mechanic, which has been adapted into a diabolically hard iOS game called Snow Roll” - The Verge

"Here's the deliciously evil bit of gameplay: Snow Roll actually punishes you for playing it, turning your own broken snowballs from previous plays into temporary obstacles. So why can't we stop playing?!" - Popular Mechanics

“The 8-bit graphics and the limited storyline make it a good way to pass the time” - TIME

Guide little penguin on his roll through snowy woods, tap to change direction and avoid obstacles, collect coins to unlock new balls and roll as far as you can.

### 1/5 — Most ads i've ever seen in a mobile game

*2023-01-17*

Absolutely terrible ad system, 30-40 second ads constantly. Not sure if you can remove them, but the ads are so constant and annoying that before I could even find out it they were removable i'd already given up.

### 1/5 — Verständnisprobleme

*2020-03-31*

Das Spiel wirkt interessant, leider knalle ich, wenn ich auf den Bildschirm tippe (und zwar egal, wohin), immer gegen die Wand, womit es nutzlos ist.

### 5/5 — Super

*2019-06-29*

Echt cooles und tolles Spiel !
Macht sehr viel Spaß 
Ich spiele das spiel echt gerne im Bus

### 5/5 — 버그 존재합니다

*2018-01-14*

유료 공을 무료로 시도하기를 누르고 게임오버된 후에 게임을 나갔다 들어오면 그 공을 계속 쓸수있는 버그가 존재합니다

### 3/5 — Sad

*2017-09-18, version 1.1.11*

I feel great but must be happier

### 1/5 — Boo

*2017-07-23, version 1.1.11*

Controls could be better 
Don't get

### 3/5 — Frequent crashing

*2017-04-07, version 1.1.11*

I enjoy the game, but lately it's been crashing for me in the middle of the game. I can usually tell it will crash because it starts to la a bit. Im on an iPhone 7.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-03-23, version 1.1.11*

Seriously, the worst game ever. Don't play it. There is no creativity put into the game.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2017-03-05, version 1.1.11*

Such a cute game! Love the style.  There are some ads but they are not too bad and sometimes you even get rewarded for watching them!
