Removed skulls and replaced with lanterns, which darken the scene if you drop marbles outside the jar. Streaks added to show off your skills Google Play Services Support Clean up some visual effects Some UI cleanup ### 2.02 — 2025-10-14 Minor tweaks for the tutorial ### 2.01 — 2025-10-01 * Properly detects the device language as the "System Language" as the default. Language choices are available on the Options menu * Apple Sign-In is only necessary when unlocking the game. Remove the sign-in prompt for all other times. * On iPhones with high aspect ratios (the phone is long and narrow), map 7 in landscape mode was a littke askew * The end game animation animation stuttered a little on some devices. * The hourglass is now available in Quick Play instead of a Sack of Marbles, depending on desired game mode. ### 2.0 — 2025-09-25 Version 2.0 offers a redesign of the game based on player feedback. * The game offers the ability to lose, either by dropping marbles outside the jar or running out of marbles. * Completely upgraded graphics with new maps, puzzles and achievements. * The Power Wheel is now a blood moon and may not be used to destroy marbles, rather it offers a score multiplier. Players felt it was cheating to use it to destroy marbles. * No more coins based on score. There is a single Match 5 coin which may be used to buy fire, bomb, lightning, additional time or additional marbles if you are running low. * Bomb marbles no longer destroy marbles, only 1 layer of locks. * Electric marbles now only destroy unlocked marbles, it does not unlock or melt marbles. * Fire marbles only thaw frozen marbles, it does not destroy them. * Story fixes. Acker farm is changed to Van Ripper farm. The original story mentions Van Ripper but while studying the story, the real site in Sleepy Hollow is actually the Acker Farm which is now a historical landmark. I guess we went a little overboard. * No Ads. At all. We don't like advertising and players don't either. Instead the game offers a limited free play experience and if you like the game, please consider purchasing the remaining levels for a single low "unlock" cost. There are no other costs, and prior "Unlimited Coffee" purchases are honored as an unlock. We are hopeful this gives the best overall player experience with a clean game. ## Apps similar to Jar of Marbles | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Ridge Escape: Match 3 Horror](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ridge-escape-match-3-horror/id1563863415) | 3.7 (9) | Free | Games | | [Pipe Mania – Pipe Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pipe-mania-pipe-puzzle/id6748595637) | — | Free | Games | | [Dark Romance: Sleepy Hollow](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dark-romance-sleepy-hollow/id1568707769) | 4.5 (294) | Free | Games | | [Jam Pillar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jam-pillar/id6744989297) | — | Free | Games | | [Jenerika's Marbles](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jenerikas-marbles/id6736880895) | — | Free | Games | | [Little Witch Blast](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/little-witch-blast/id6740511385) | — | Free | Games | ## Related topics [Sleepy hollow](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sleepy-hollow) · [jar marble](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/jar-marble) · [the legend of sleepy hollow ic](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/the-legend-of-sleepy-hollow-ic) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
