Marble It Up: Mayhem!

This game impresses me and is great in many respects. Beautifully abstract graphics. Super fun and challenging enough to be engaging while easy enough to progress through without feeling stuck. Speaking of stuck, the camera control on ipad doesnt work all the time and will stop working during gameplay, which doesnt allow me to see where im rolling. This glitch in the ipad controls makes the game unplayable when it is occurring. I dont find the other onsceen controls as hard to get used to as some users. The direction and jump seems fine for it being an onscreen control. But the camera sticking is sort of a let down because everything else is great. Hoping for a fix because its a surprisingly fun game.

I started mainly on Marble Blast Ultra on Xbox 360, first game I played was Marble Blast Gold, I was so happy to see that you guys were back from (what I recall) losing rights to the name of your own game. I bought Marble It Up as soon as I heard of it, and I'm glad I did! and now it's on my iPhone! I'm surprised about that too, because touch controls are always going to be limiting, and I do feel the same way here- it's not your fault, it's just that touch screens are not the best! That's why I hooked up my Xbox One controller over Bluetooth- the way it's meant to be played! and it really is. I feel no difference playing it here on my iPhone compared to my PC or Nintendo Switch, so long as I use a controller. This is a good port, the only thing I would love to see is the same functionality as Steam Workshop, for custom maps. Would be great to see that on platforms like iOS and Switch. I believe you could implement such a thing on your own servers, like you already have other things like replays and scoreboard. That would be cool!

This is my first time playing this kind of game. I love the multiplayer with my kids and the challenging and well designed levels. Despite that I had to lower my rating because 1) to unlock some marbles you need to get x # of marbles to level 10, but nowhere in the game do I see any way to tell what level a marble is or any information at all on how to level them up...seems like this is not implemented so I can never get these marbles. 2) Unlocking some marbles requires you to complete x # of multiplayer matches, but the game doesn’t count any of my multiplayer matches. Finally, I also notice some occasional instances where the controls get glitchy in the middle of a run, which can be frustrating but it’s pretty rare. Overall, this could be a 5 star game for me but for the missing marble level feature that appears should be there, and multiplayer match counting issues that make it impossible to ever unlock some marbles for me.

I remember my brother and I playing Marble Blast Gold together when we were super little, so of course this game made for INSTANT nostalgia. And it’s so fun! The levels have a lot of replayability, and getting to the secret skins is super frustrating but so satisfying when you finally get it. Unfortunately, some skins and trails are completely unattainable. I don’t mean as in hard to get to in a level, I mean some unlock when you’ve played a certain number of multiplayer games or gotten a marble to a certain level. But neither of those features work! I’ve played several multiplayer games, and it hasn’t registered any of them. I’ve also completed almost all 60 levels on at least silver, and half on gold, but none of my marbles are a single level. Please fix this and make the game infinitely more enjoyable!

The game looks great and is fun to casually play, but the touch controls are horrendous. For a casual run through, it’s manageable, but good trying to get diamond medal on a level when 1/3 of the time, your right thumb controls the camera, 1/3 of the time your left thumb controls the camera and the last third of the time, nothing controls the camera. Oh and while you’re fighting the camera to get that diamond medal, you don’t even know what time you need to get anyway. The game does not tell you what time you need to beat, so you have no idea if you just need to cut one corner a little tighter to shave off a few milliseconds or if there’s actually a secret path to get to the finish 40 seconds faster (which I found out is a thing on at least one level so far). It’s one of those things that you try to put up with for awhile because everything else about the game is enjoyable, but eventually you just give up on the game. Which is where I’m at now.
