Unroll Me  Review Download on iTunes - Download for Android    Unroll Me is a simple yet enjoyable bite-sized puzzle game for smartphones and tablets. With 240 levels and four different difficulty settings, this game is jam packed with content. The object of the game is to get a small ball to the finish line of each level. You have to drag square tracks across the screen and form them in the correct order.  Difficulty: Even on the easiest difficulty setting, this puzzle game forces you to use your brain to its fullest extent. None of the levels are obvious and the game adds twists to the later levels just when you think you are comfortable. It is really refreshing to see a puzzle game that doesn't hold your hand the entire time. Presentation: The graphics are very simple and animations are minimal. Because this game is free, ads are present while you are playing the game. When you beat a level, a pop-up ad appears and covers your screen. It is quite easy...
