Marbloid

I love this! It reminds me of Jeff Minter’s excellent Llamasoft games which fell victim to Apple’s crappy practices which drove so many small devs off the App Store several years ago. I used to spend hundreds each year in the App Store when you bought a full game and just got to enjoy it. Now, I rarely buy anything or even download iOS games because discovery is impossible: it’s not worth the trouble wading through the App Store to find maybe one gem which is still going to waste my time trying to get more more more money. I just opt to buy nothing at all. But Here’s an app like the golden days of the App Store, much like its inspiration in cassettes of the 80s, of a time when you got a great product without all the dirty tricks. Fun, beautiful, atmospheric, and honest. What more could you ask for?

I’ve never left a review for ANYTHING but this is just about the best game I’ve ever played. I feel privileged to have played the earliest version of this game and I can’t wait to see how it expands...I HOPE it expands. I would love to see a marble down the road that offers some kind of point bonus as well as an extra life to start. Like, maybe after level 50...make it hard! If anyone can make it to exit 50 they deserve something amazing! Also, it would be cool if we could upgrade the star bonus...make that hard too! Like, one extra second for 10,000 emojis or something? And then another extra second after 25,000 emojis? Just a couple suggestions for an already stellar game. Keep it up! Can’t wait to see where this game goes! PS...to any reviewer that complains that you can’t save your progress unless you take an exit...well, that’s the ENTIRE POINT OF THE GAME! It like in baseball, after the 3rd out, if they let anyone stranded on base go back to their base the next inning. God forbid they make a game challenging!

First off I love this game totally worth its price but a few things need to be changed 1. Can we be able to change are ball after finishing a game instead of going all the way back to the main menu 2. More upgrades and powers 3. Every time you play a game when you lose can you not lose all the progress you just made this includes everything score, missions, emojis collected e.g. a mission say collect 100 emojis total so that isn’t that hard but when I’m half way and I lose I lose all the progress I just made this doesn’t happen unless I take the exit PLEASE CHANGE THIS ITS SO INFURIATING HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HEARD FAIL FAIL FAIL!!!!!! UNTIL IVE FINALLY MANAGED TO FINISH IT!!! this game would be easier if there were more barriers and less tricky fast twist and turns and finally 4. Choosing the map I enjoy the one with the wood and white tiles and least the rainbow/break my eyes map

I’ve been addicted to this game for the better part of the month. I can only count maybe 3 games in the past 10 years that fall into that category. Through level 30 the challenges ramped up rather nicely and adding new bonuses along the way keeps you moving. Afterward just the challenge of having the highest score or total points keeps me coming back. Of course the visuals are remarkable and the quirky music is fun. However, back about a week ago there was an update on iOS that causes in game pausing during mid jumps, lags are becoming more frequent which causes jumps to be off tempo right in the middle of a run and causes me to nose dive instead. I’m constantly rebooting to combat the lag. This is becoming frustrating. I’m not sure if it’s a hardware problem, but my iPad Pro 2 is less than a year old and wouldn’t figure it to be the problem.

I think games like this are perfect for a mobile phone. Just an endless marble runner with little challenges, low commitment and very satisfying. The aesthetic, sfx, and music are great. I also like the gradual ramp up in difficulty. No iAP is very refreshing, and I’m very glad this is not a freemium game. The price point is spot on, I feel like this is the type of game I’ll play for a long time. Being a premium game, $3 is extremely justified for the amount of quality and attention to detail. I experienced no FPS drops like the other review. I’m on an iPhone 6s. Love this game already.
