Very addicted snake game. Roll a snake of balls to crawl on a road of vortex. Eat the color ball to make the snake longer. The snake head collide the color block will use up the snake balls. It will take more snake balls to break the deeper color block. Breaking the block can collect scores. Don't make the snake touch the black boom ball, it will make you game over directly. So, how many balls can you eat ?

Subway Surfers's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Subway Surfers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway Surfers has 3.9M ratings behind it against 231, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Subway Surfers's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rolly Snake Vs Vortex Block's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Subway Surfers ships an update weekly, Rolly Snake Vs Vortex Block every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
