What Makes Snow Roll Stand Out
“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.

Community Insight:
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 we could even find out it they were removable we'd already given up.
We find this game quite addicting in fact to a point where when we turn on our we pod that is one of the first things we play. We highly recommend this game for an average player not an gamer but otherwise we Highly recommend this game.
We don't care what people think. We're downloading the game.
We got snow roll on our last phone about 4 months ago and had to get it again…it's really fun and addicting. We're inspired by the creativity in it: easy controls, apt sfx, fitting music, cute artwork- overall it is really well done and is a piece of art in itself by how well all of its elements come together. Craftsmanship! We don't see how a game can be bad…something so much time was probably put into. Maybe you don't like it, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
Very cute game but can you add more challenges to complete.
Am we the only one who can't play this game? For us thus game is impossible. We understand it and maybe its just us. But we feel like we will never master it. It is very hard for us to play.but if you are really good at like "FLAPPYBIRD" them this will be fun and entertaining.
It took a little while to understand but after we got the hang of things it's actually kool.
If you are sitting in an airport and have nothing else to do, this game is alright. For those not understanding, you spend the coins to get different balls. You hit the pink button saying "win a prize", located under the daily gift. Not hard to see. This game is pretty pointless regardless. It costs 300 coins to play a game. 1 out of 3 to win a new ball. We've hit a point where we either miss the ball and get 20 coins back, or we get a ball we already have. No way we'll get them all, but it is fun trying to beat your personal best. Not worth real money.
Bought a ball for $0.99 and 3000 coins, but when we didn't spend it and closed the app, when we came back on it was all gone! Our coins didn't show up! Do not play this game anyway, it is too hard to collect all the balls and it isn't really fun. Hasn't gotten a content update including the terrain for the gameplay in a long time.
It's not fun or anything, the game has so much potential but it's not anything you would want to play.
Way to much tapping, we would have much rather dragged him in the right direction.
The ads are crazy in this game, one 30 second ad for every like 3 plays. The controls are messed up and to hard to get use too.
You collect them and spend them on what?? Then you have the option of buying coins with real money buuuut to spend them on what? Stupid and yes pointless for coins.
There must be a glitch because every 5 seconds an ad would pop up so it wouldn't let us play.
This game is stupid and Idek how to work it. Don't get this, it also had to many ads. It was too hard to understand.
This game is very pointless and not fun enough to play for long periods of time. It's a very boring game and the graphics are bad despite the intentional pixelation. Do not get it.
The game doesn't make sense. You go through the course collecting coins, but there is actually nothing to spend the coins on. Correct us if we're wrong, but all the things you can buy in the app costs real money, and you're left with worthless coins.
This game has easy too many glitches. Worse and pointless game ever do not get this we repeat do not get this.
Love it get awesome app know words for it.
It's so bad nobody likes it it like a raw eggplant uhh we almost raged on this game like is was a rage monster.
The coins don't really have a purpose. We think you should have an opportunity every once it a while to try out a ball and if you get a certain score you unlock it.
What's with the Mega Man sound effect.
Can't purchase any design balls or anything with them. You need to pay actual $ for those items.
We would not reccomend this game to anyone theres no point in coins and we simply did not find it fun :(.
We've changed our mind about this game that's why we went from 5 down to only 1.
This game is fun to play absentmindedly and yeah if there were more balls then it would be more fun anyways it's a good game we recommend it.
The game is tricky to learn, but very fun and addicting once you learn how to play.
Honestly we don't understand the hate for this game. For us it works really well.
Follow us @dubnationbae if you're a warriors fan.
Yes this is a bad and a ripoff game but they tried and it might get better.
Have you played zig zag by ketchapp? Have you played crossy road? Its a rip off of those two.
This game is the worst game we have ever played (and we have played flappy birds) the calibrations don't worn for anything. This game should be called "Slammed into a wall simulator".
We had this game less than thirty seconds total before deleting it.
It doesn't got far enough side to side you'll see.
Yeah this is horrible. The calibration is completely off.
We don't recall ever needing instructions for an iPhone game before, but all we can do is get the penguin to smash into the right hand wall.
sorry the way it moves side to side is too fast to not go far enough we know it's supposed to be a challenge but not good calibration.
What's the point of eating coins.
No deberian estar en el mercado.
Horrible calibration. Update this ASAP. You tap it and it don't move smh. Really frustrated.
We feel great but must be happier.
We enjoy the game, but lately it's been crashing for us in the middle of the game. We can usually tell it will crash because it starts to la a bit. Im on an iPhone 7.
Controls could be better Don't get.
Seriously, the worst game ever. Don't play it. There is no creativity put into the game.
We understand you have to make money on ads, but they are too frequent and the full screen ones are just plain annoying.
This game is amazing but there are a few bugs in the game and problems. Like when you watch a video for coins in "Free Stuff" The thanks window is half out of the screen. And the cups, you have to be VERY LUCKY to get the ball by instinct. Please make the cups go slower.
Amazing, hard, challenging, addicting, great, it's a team activity for us and our girls, keeps us on the edge of our seat, noticed the bug fix thanks guys! Love love love it.
We love how their are so many references and the cute penguin as the character.
Play right now. It's awesome. Try to beat the worlds best.
The best way to die with heart attack !!!!! Yeahhh,we love this.
