Drop. Score. Cardwheel is a fun roguelite where you drop balls into a big spin wheel. Each run begins with choosing a wheel, and each wheel changes the difficulty and how you play. How it works: * Choose Your Wheel: Each wheel gives you a unique setup and starting resources. * Make Your Choice: Enter the next round, or skip it for powerful bonuses like cash, free card packs, or guaranteed rare jokers in the shop. * Spin for Score: Drop 6 balls into a wheel of 4 colors. Match colors to rack up chips, multiply your total, and try to clear the round’s score goal. However, be cautious, as your spins are limited. * Shop & Upgrade: Between rounds, visit the shop to buy jokers and card packs. Jokers twist the rules (e.g., more chips for red balls, multipliers for pairs), while card packs change how balls, slots, or colors behave. * Boss Challenges: Every three rounds, face a unique twist. Some colors stop scoring, modifiers shut down, or jokers get disabled. Adapt fast; there are 8 bosses to beat. Why you’ll love Cardwheel * Endless strategic combos from jokers, packs, and spins * Every run feels different with new wheels and modifiers * Challenging roguelite loop: risk, reward, and adaptation * Simple to learn, endlessly replayable Spin the wheel. Build your deck of tricks. Outwit the bosses. Can you survive the full run and conquer all 8? ## Cardwheel Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/92/cb/a5/92cba5e1-170d-bcc0-6db8-fd27ac73c7e7/1242x2688_2025-09-25_03.59.51.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/e5/f9/1b/e5f91b3d-798a-51fc-9319-3a73a2c1ba06/1242x2688_2025-09-25_04.00.03.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/6a/53/1f/6a531f8f-0057-a01b-6f0f-e17820d1db6d/1242x2688_2025-10-02_18.05.16.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/0c/13/ec/0c13ecd2-2864-3ece-336a-18b1a03b8edf/1242x2688_2025-10-02_17.48.35.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/16/05/56/16055634-7e6b-7d44-3774-1c2a96343af2/1242x2688_2025-10-02_17.50.57.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/d8/e5/80/d8e5808a-4707-e877-f4bb-d5d23a7343c6/1242x2688_2025-10-02_17.50.48.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/88/3e/c2/883ec2e7-aefc-98cd-ee8c-638f191c7522/1242x2688_2025-10-02_18.05.24.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/ff/6f/00/ff6f00eb-0610-f7dd-b935-3b1820f73d83/1242x2688_2025-10-02_18.05.26.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/1d/70/f0/1d70f00c-4637-afac-f1e1-53ed17138535/1242x2688_2025-10-02_18.05.30.png/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 10](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/84/bf/b2/84bfb29b-83e6-cfed-65f5-5a05ccc4c3a4/1242x2688_2025-10-02_18.05.37.png/1242x2688.png) ## Cardwheel Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 22 (49%) - 4 stars: 1 (2%) - 3 stars: 7 (16%) - 2 stars: 5 (11%) - 1 stars: 10 (22%) ## Cardwheel Reviews in United States ### ***** "Great game (if you remove ads)" I like the cool design and the roulette wheel, that gives it a gambling/arcade game feel. Everything is really smooth and intuitive. I like that the file size isn’t big and that you can easily go to the menu and it saves progress so you can continue later, makes it perfect for short spurts. It’s really a good game for a very fair price to remove ads. I see many saying the ads are too much (and the developer would keep those players probably if the ad frequency were lessened, that way you’d get players that are fine with some ads as well as players who prefer to pay to have no ads), but if you pay the small price to remove ads the game is very enjoyable. I don’t regret buying the no ad version, it’s a fair price, not a subscription. You’ll get bad luck sometimes and it’s game over, but that’s to be expected. It’s a fun casual game, perfect when you have a moment for a break here and there. And the overall vibe is sophisticated and cool. I like it. -- WRS15743, 2026-07-21 ### ***-- "Cool concept, needs work" This game has good bones but a lot of tune up is needed. Kind of feels like it was released before it was done. Having 32 different wheels but a broken randomizer is weird. Curious to see future updates. -- Hype boys, 2026-04-17 ### *---- "Bad Balatro copy" It’s apparent that the creator stole from balatro and added a quick coat of paint. They’re even called Jokers even though there’s no card theme in this game. Ads are also terrible, I got none for the first 2 runs but then it’s an ad on every single stage now that you’re “hooked” -- Tony Muhplaah, 2026-04-16 ### *---- "Oppressive ads" I was getting one ad per spin after the second game. No thank you -- iPhone 14 gamer, 2026-03-22 ### *---- "Awful" This is a terrible game. The scoring and power-ups are almost directly copied from Balatro, but with absolutely none of the thought or clever planning involved. You can’t just steal scoring mechanics and apply them to a completely different concept and format. It’s based entirely on luck. No skill is involved whatsoever. It’s ugly to look at and unsatisfying to play. The ads on social media also use AI, so it’s clear that no one in the development of this had a single artistic bone in their bodies. Half of the game is stolen from Balatro and the original half is abysmal. I highly suspect that the developers are using bots and fake accounts to promote this game. If they’re willing to use AI and blatant theft of a better game’s mechanics, what would stop them from that? -- SylviSays, 2026-03-16 ### *---- "Balatro rip-off but worse" Exactly like Balatro- they stole every concept except the base scoring system. The music is simple and way too repetitive. The first run is ad-free, and every single round after that plays an ad; that's 8 to 24 ads per run- diabolical and greedy af. Easily not worth watching the ads, or even having to skip the ad every time- it just ruins the entire game, and it's not worth spending money on to disable ads. Just buy Balatro instead -- Bearely, 2026-03-12 ### *---- "Bad at math somehow?" 4x2 does not equal 6. The first mod for a ball I got was a times 4 to the multiplier. Base multiplier says “x2.0” This isn’t a language barrier, they don’t know math -- Friendlycritikal, 2026-02-28 ### ***-- "fun game but some levels are frustrating" the fewer colors you have in the wheel the more your chances of beating a level rely on luck. the single color wheels are near impossible unless you happen to draw perfect pulls every time. the number of times i’ve had to restart after the first wheel because nothing available in the shop allows me to beat the second wheel. fix this and it’s a 5. at the least make the single color wheels the final wheels to beat. right now i can’t imagine having to not only beat one single color wheel but four of them in order to get to the remaining wheels. -- yahtzeen, 2026-02-17 ### *---- "WAY to many ads" Really fun take on balatro but a horrendously bad amount of ads causes the game to be not fun to play as 90% of screen time in spent waiting to skip an ad. Do better. -- Lojo312, 2026-02-17 ### *---- "Ok game" This game is pretty good just needs a little more work and a lot less ads. Like honestly why are there ads after every round that’s insane. -- KalibePlayZ, 2026-02-17 [View all Cardwheel reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Cardwheel Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/canada) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/united-kingdom) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/netherlands) - [Panama](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/panama) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/poland) - [Paraguay](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/paraguay) - [Qatar](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/qatar) - [Uruguay](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/uruguay) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/denmark) - [Honduras](https://apptail.io/app/cardwheel-RUix/honduras) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
