### 4/5 — Fun

*2014-01-22, version 1.7*

Fun

### 4/5 — Fun, but low graphics

*2012-07-09, version 1.7*

That is all

### 3/5 — not enough levels.

*2010-01-19, version 0*

please update this.  it's nice that you put a second verdsion and all however, can you please add some levels for the people who already paid for your first version?  Thanks :)

### 3/5 — amazingly addicting!!! and worth it!!!

*2009-11-18, version 0*

i originally bought the lite version and was so addicied that i got this version...and niw i cant stop playing!!! :) totally worth your money people!!

### 4/5 — Omg I love it!

*2009-11-10, version 0*

Ok... First if all... For some reason I like games with bad graphics. Idk y. Maybe because wen I was younger, my friends and I played James bond on nintendo 64 and it had graphics like these... And those were the awesome days ... But anyways I like it! It need more levels! Sheesh! And the steering sensitivity needs to be better!

### 4/5 — It's A Nice App...

*2009-11-08, version 0*

The graphics are good, but I don't think it's worth $1.99

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2009-10-17, version 0*

The controls are tricky at first, but you get used to it. There should be a reset button!!

### 5/5 — Great challenging game

*2009-10-12, version 0*

This is a very fun and challenging game. Can be hard to beat par time on the first few tries. I like the challenge.

### 3/5 — More levels

*2009-10-12, version 0*

If it had more levels it would be worth 1.99 only worth .99 because of lack of levels

### 5/5 — not easy - but loads of fun

*2009-09-14, version 0*

the 3D graphics are awesome - the motion is fast and smooth.this is a fast paced game - vaguely like marble madness (with real 3d) or super monkey ball (but for grown-ups)you have to -work- to make it through the levels. you can basically mess up once and still "clear" a level.it's nice that you're able to play all the way through a level even after the time "runs out"- this lets you learn the level - so you can make a better time next run.the controls take a little getting used to - but become intuitive very quickly.possibly my favorite iphone game so far...

### 5/5 — Great Buy

*2009-09-06, version 0*

I love this app, worth the download. Check out Manic Marble 2! Awesome...what's the best score on level 1? I got 28! Beat that!

### 4/5 — Fun game could be better.

*2009-08-13, version 0*

Marble mania is a fun game and can keep you occupied for hours. Even though there are only six levels each level is very challanging and takes a lot practice to pass.  Although I would recamend an update maybe at two or four more levels. Also you should make a prettier backround so when you fall you don't just fall into blackness. Over all a very fun game I would eecomand buying.

### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps

*2009-08-06, version 0*

Awesome but please please make an update and add more levels please

### 4/5 — Good BUt needs more levels

*2009-07-29, version 0*

This game is fun and super addicting, but needs more than just 6 levels!!!!!

### 3/5 — It's pretty good

*2009-07-23, version 0*

It's hard to steer on sharp turns. It doesn't turn. And there needs to be more levels.

### 1/5 — No

*2010-05-05, version 0*

Only 6 lvls?!!!! I want my money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2009-05-09, version 0*

This is just an extremely cheap knockoff of Super Monkey Ball. The controls are too easy and it wastes battery. The levels are short and there aren't very many (which, granted, the preview does say that, but still...). Don't waste the money.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2009-04-15, version 0*

Not worth the asking price, heck i dont think i would get it, if it was free.The controls are slugish and badly implemented. The menus and method of getting to the levels are terrible. Stay away or possible wait for an update

### 2/5 — Helloiateyourkitty

*2009-07-26, version 0*

This game was horrible,I mean it's one thing to be like a centimeter sensetive but another to barely tap an object and fall.

### 2/5 — Don't waste ur $

*2009-04-25, version 0*

Fun at 1st...terrible when it ends...needs more than 6 levels...

### 2/5 — I'm sooo frustrated!!    -aShLeY L =]

*2009-04-18, version 0*

Ok sooo I can't fricken get past level one!!! What do I dooooo!?!?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!!!!!?

There also needs to be a break or a reverse!!!!  Pleeeese UPDATE NOW!!!!!

### 2/5 — hmm

*2009-04-17, version 0*

a challenge is always good but this is simply too much of a challenge. I think the developers didn't look at it from the perspective of a total newbie.

 even if you make one bad mistake near the end it will screw up your time and you'll have to do the whole level again. that's fustrating, not entertaining which a game should be.

once thats fixed this game has good potential and I'll up my number of stars.

### 3/5 — Way Too Hard

*2024-11-03, version 2.01*

The Game Is Enjoyable But It’s A Wee Little Too Hard Unfortunately But Still A Good Effort Though

### 3/5 — I love it

*2010-03-08, version 0*

I love the old graphics but I didn't give it 5stars because it hasn't been updated in almost a year or more. At least since I got the app a long time ago

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2010-02-20, version 0*

Good game but i think u should b able to listen to ur music while playing instead if the other annoying stuff. Sometimes the controls arnt sensitive enough or vise versa. If i could i would rate it 3 1/2 stars. Over all very entertaining and a fun game

### 5/5 — Best alternative to marble it up mayhem

*2026-07-31, version 2.01*

So they removed that game from Apple Arcade but a year ago was my favorite mobile game found this game. This is the replacement still finding Sony reviews. I’m about to be the newest review.

### 5/5 — My childhood is back

*2024-01-22, version 2.0*

Thank you so much for bringing this back. I played this series to death when I was a kid. Can we have Manic Marble 5 now? Pretty please?

### 5/5 — More levels!

*2011-02-09, version 1.5*

Please make 13 more levels and some new themes!

### 5/5 — Great

*2010-03-31, version 0*

I bought this app over a year ago when it was only 1$ and it is very fun and challenging.

### 5/5 — Fun, addicting, great app!

*2010-01-20, version 0*

Enough said. The reason I give it four stars is because it uses a lot of battery power and when I downloaded the full version after the lite version, I had to redo to first two levels. But it's still pretty awesome.

### 5/5 — Fully sick

*2010-01-07, version 0*

I just  this app because its da bomb

### 5/5 — Another reason why I like this game

*2009-12-29, version 0*

It's just like marble madness on the 360 LOL after I played I wondered "do they have one for iPhone?" and it does! Awesome game man!

### 5/5 — Try it

*2009-12-10, version 0*

I love it

### 5/5 — Best game ever!

*2009-11-21, version 0*

This was an awesome game! It was a bit challenging but I found it easy to catch on. I really recomend this game to anyone and everyone!

### 5/5 — Ok app

*2009-10-24, version 0*
