## What is Gluddle?

Free the Gluddle from The Supervision in this eye-catching bouncy game for iPhone and iPad!

It's pinball meets trampoline, it's Peggle meets Angry Birds, it's a totalitarian invasion eye-to-eye with a resilient resistance.

No In-App Purchases!

Reviews:

"There truly is no other game quite like Gluddle." - IndieGameMag

"Clever and well-realized, rock-solid, highly addictive gameplay. These goofy eyeballs bounce into near-perfect physics perfection." - Kotaku

‎"Gluddle made me laugh. Several times. Out loud. (...) It’s a puzzle, a physics game, and there’s a lot to figure out, and the thing is, you can’t lose, and it makes you laugh. It is fun. Major Fun. It will make you laugh. It will keep you playing. It will make you laugh some more." - Majorfun.com

"Gluddle, which is one of the most addictive physics-based iOS games I’ve come across, has just been bumped to version 2.0. In its initial state, Gluddle is already a fantastic physics puzzler. But now, in its updated version, the game is even more so." - AppAdvice

"Gluddle is a fantastic, creative game that doesn’t just copy the mechanics of other puzzle titles, it takes them, mashes them together, and pushes them farther than they have been previously, and has had some great support through updates from the developers. For that, it’s definitely worth checking out." - TheAppShack

"Lots of physics-based knock out games will really raise your blood pressure (Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are notorious for this).  For some reason, Gluddle doesn’t do this.  It’s mellow." - BestKidsApps

"It’s like throwing a bouncy ball very hard indoors and seeing what it smashes. Fun, in other words." - Games Asylum

"Wa-Wa-wow! This game is absolutely immense!" - WeDoCode

"When George Orwell sat down to write dark dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, he couldn't have known that he would one day inspire Gluddle, a physics-based iOS puzzler where you dislodge spying Big Brother-style eyes in the sky." - Eurogamer App of the Day

"Gluddle is a solid title. This hidden gem is packed with amusing gameplay, impressive music and colorful graphics that make it one of the top physics-puzzler games in my book." - AppsOnTap

"That game is confusing, obscure, weird and has a soundtrack that is almost annoying. Played the demo for a couple of minutes, fell in love with it and bought the full version. Great job, and great game!" - ZombieGorilla

### 5/5 — <3 beautiful, fun, poignant

*2017-08-04, version 4.2*

More! We love this game.

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2017-07-12*

I love it so much

### 5/5 — OI

*2017-05-13, version 4.2*

Briggs the camera thing is a joke first of all if it was really asking the system dialog would come up and ask to allow it. Its a joke. Apple is very strict on checking apps and found this app fine don't worry. If you want go to settings-privacy- and click on what is asks for it won't show the app even asks for it. Anyway this app is great! Another original! The App Store needs developers like the guy that made this!

### 2/5 — Fun game but...

*2017-05-12*

Asking for permission to have my location and connecting with me on Twitter is one thing, but why would it require access to my camera. 
I'm not normally paranoid about these kinds of things but after it wouldn't let me refuse access to the camera I deleted the app. That's just weird.

### 4/5 — Can Be Addicting but annoying!

*2014-12-04*

I have enjoyed this game for the past couple of days. It is worth it to buy the full app and go thru all the levels. I don't understand how the scoring works but that is ok, it is still fun to try to beat the Supervision. It is also funny to hear the comments they make when you tap their eyeball/target. You can go back to past levels to try for a better score. The "Oi" sounds can be quite annoying when the bouncing gets overactive! I would like to see more levels with more obstacles like the inflating balloons in the last two levels.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2013-05-16*

Awesome graphics, sounds and addictive gameplay.. Very hard to put down until you have oi'ed your way though all levels!!
The graphics and special effects are truly spectacular as well as the original soundtrack. Great game, lots of levels and very addictive! I really recommend this to anyone who is bored with angry birds!

### 1/5 — Stupid eyeballs

*2013-05-09*

This game is blatantly stupid and the oy oy oy sounds
Are irritating. You shot a ball at an eye with red circles. When you hit the ball you win the level. I made it through 3 levels before I gave up from boredom.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-01-08*

This is the only game I keep my sound on for. Genius!

### 5/5 — One of the Best Games for iOS!

*2012-12-17*

Gluddle is my new obsession. The gameplay is perfect for a quick game, but it's easy to get caught up in the game and play for an hour or longer. The soundtrack is brilliant. A fantastic game all around. You should buy it! Buy it now!!!

### 4/5 — Fun

*2012-11-30*

A bit slow but still fun.
