Spiraloid is a pretty new endless game for the iOS and Android platforms. Your goal is to roll the marble along a spiraling track, with a spiraling soundtrack playing behind you, and achieve the highest possible score, while collecting as many gems as possible. There are lots of customization and power-up options available in this game as well. Read on for some tips and tricks for Spiraloid!
While you can play the game and even get far with the sound muted on your device, play with the sound on to make the game easier. Your jumps will ALWAYS match the beat, so you won’t have to focus as hard on the screen in order to see what jump you need to make next.
Use your gems to purchase the two available power-ups in the shop menu. The power-ups include the shield and gem mania. Gem Mania will make orange gems appear which, when collected, will transform a number of spaces immediately in front of it into gems, even getting rid of obstacles when they are collected. The shield upgrade will enable a power-up that makes you invincible for some seconds after you collect it.
Otherwise, you can hit the shop menu to purchase new orbs to roll with. They all have the same gameplay, and they all cost gems, except for the gold one, which has to be purchased with real-life money. All of the other ones can be purchased with gems, but some, such as Zircon, are vastly more expensive than others.
As you work your way down the stage, it will begin spinning, gradually working its way up to the speed of the orb itself, and then after awhile, it will slow down, back to where it’s not spinning at all. It will switch back and forth every 30 seconds or so, making it easy to predict when the level will begin spinning.
Head to the menu and you will sometimes see a video offer pop up. If you tap it, an advertisement video will play, and when it’s done, you’ll earn a free 30 gems. The video offer will return after every few rounds that you play.
