Spinner.io

So I do this thing we’re every Thursday I look at my old games and I’m doing that and I saw this old io game and in all it’s a good game but when you get the last stuff it’s not fun and it lays around and takes up ur storage and it’s like one of those games u just use when ur on a long trip and dont have internet that u play and it’s been the same like preimiom pass or whatever it’s called for years and doesn’t have updates of any kind think u for ur time have a good day/night

The game is deceptively simple and actually fun to play. Basically, knock people out early in the round and build momentum. You can customize your spinner and game unlocks plenty of options as you play. Four things that could be improved though: The premium membership screen is annoying but I understand that’s how the game makes money. Sometimes the controls feel ambiguous. Even after playing for months now, once in a while, I think I’m swiping in a direction and my spinner meanders kind of the wrong way. It’s hard to describe and a subtle oddity. It’s rare enough not to be a big deal but it’s still annoying. Every so often I swipe up and get the iOS control center which shouldn’t happen but can. When it does happen, the game gets paused. When I come back to the game I can pick up right where I was instantly. I have noticed this for months now. This means the opponents are Ai and not humans. Which is the biggest problem with this game. I’d much rather actually play other opponents. Like I said about control center pausing the game. I left it for minute—I have been writing this whole review whit the game open I’m a round. I switch back from time to time and the game round is in stasis waiting for my return. No way it’s online, but it presents itself as though it were. Also tried putting phone in airplane mode and the round continues. The good: Fun, simple controls, addictive play. Customization. The eh: Controls can become ambiguous once in a while but can be recovered. The bad: Control center can interrupt a round if you swipe up from too low. Not an online game—no human opponents. Will work in airplane mode but human opponents and multiplayer is important to these io games.

So I’ve read all the other reviews and they complain about ads and real multiplayer, but the game is fundamentally pointless. Getting kills makes you bigger. You get kills by knocking other people out. However, getting bigger does absolutely nothing to increase your momentum or the distance you can knock other spinners. Momentum is directionally based ie 2 cars each stop when they crash head on and keep moving in a direction whenever it is not a head to head collision. It is very easy to just wait out the entire match without chasing kills. No matter the size difference in the end, both players will be at an apparent standstill indefinitely until one gives up. This is not a fun game where you hit other people out and gain strength through kills. It’s a boring game that rewards PATIENCE and sitting in an arena every game waiting for your opponent to make a mistake or give up. 0/5 make “winning” meaningful
