### 4/5 — It’s too hard

*2024-07-05, version 1.2.2*

It definitely got harder. when I first played it everything was so easy and then it got harder way too fast. The prices in the shop was roof blasting. Please make the game easier so that I can actually roll into an exit

### 4/5 — Art style is spot on. Gotta fix some glitches

*2023-09-22, version 1.2.2*

The vaporwave art style is spot on.

I'm also okay with the game being difficult but I hate when it has those glitchy stuffs. For example, remove colliders from those portals or make it bigger. Assign a predefined paths for exit paths for portals. Sometimes ball is thrown to unexpected places. When you pause the game, go back to another app and come back, ball jumps and I can't continue the level on rails or narrow places.

### 4/5 — IT IS SO AWESOME AND Addictive🥲

*2023-08-21, version 1.2.2*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Great one, but with minor flaws.

*2022-11-21, version 1.2.2*

At anytime I make progress while it’s an otherwise great app, it just froze up or crashes. Let me know if you need help with anything.

### 5/5 — Addictive parody

*2022-11-08*

Harsh, wry criticism of mobile gaming somehow ends up being unironically fun.

### 5/5 — A E S T H E T I C

*2022-04-16, version 1.2.2*

I absolutely love this game! The gameplay is simple but challenging, the best use of Vaporwave renders I’ve ever seen, and Vaporwave is my favorite aesthetic, so there is nothing to complain about. Completely worth the price!

### 5/5 — So much A E S T H E T I C!

*2022-04-05, version 1.2.2*

I love the vaporwave style of this game!

### 4/5 — no sound

*2022-03-25, version 1.2.2*

I had downloaded this before on my iPad and the sound was amazing, but I downloaded it on my iPhone and you can’t hear a sound, the sound setting was on and the volume is max. Can you fix this problem please.

### 4/5 — Costs Money

*2022-02-08, version 1.2.2*

The problem with mobile games is that you get sick of ‘‘em real quick. And even though this is an amazing game I got sick of it in a couple months. But if your ok with that, it’s an amazing game. It’s simply and beautifully built. The controls are simple and efficient. Very nice game, premium app.

### 5/5 — No ads, great marble game

*2022-01-13, version 1.2.2*

Challenging progression, nice graphics, retro-cool styling

### 3/5 — Good game with flawed level generation

*2021-12-09, version 1.2.2*

Graphics are gorgeous, soundtrack is great,  but you cannot even make it past the starting holes in later levels. The awkward placements of some boost pads will launch you just short of a hole with no chance of evasive maneuvers. Same things with jumping across platforms with 90 degree turns.

### 4/5 — Visionally stunning, highly indicative but…

*2021-09-22, version 1.2.2*

I love this game, the retro feel takes me back to games like Marble Madness… the graphics and theme are vapor-fabulous! The levels and tasks are unique enough to keep the game fresh, but the controls will have you rage quitting in no time. You have the choices of the awkward and less precise “tilt” controls or on screen “left,right,jump” buttons. The on screen buttons allow for better control but the button areas are too small, so you find yourself missing the button area or looking down to realign you fingers and falling off the course. At the end of the day, this is still a game I pick up almost daily. My thanks to the devs!!! Well done.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-08-25, version 1.2.2*

Haven’t seen a game like this in a long time , love everything about it , so gooooooddd :D

### 5/5 — Pure fun

*2021-08-12, version 1.2.2*

This is one of the rare games I’ve played that’s totally fun, even when you fail. It removes the layer of anxiety that most games have. The graphics, sounds, music and gameplay are just right.

### 5/5 — Nifty

*2021-07-29, version 1.2.2*

Just started playing but a very good looking game and I am liking it a lot . It looks to be right up my street so hoping it continues to grab me.
Update - I’ve been playing a few weeks now and loving the game. Other reviews say it’s too hard and the marble seems to go where it wants sometimes but that doesn’t stop the game being blinking good! You can predict when it might go off track and adjust accordingly. The physics are near perfect.
It might sometimes be called a masacore game but it just manages to stay the right side of playable. Practice and you’ll be pleasantly surprised how far you can get. I’ve reached rank 17 and going strong and enjoying playing. Go for it!

### 5/5 — Cool game to kill time

*2021-07-20, version 1.2.2*

It is really a nice to play when you are bored and waiting for somebody or something

### 5/5 — very entertaining game

*2021-07-20, version 1.2.2*

recommended, never regret to download this

### 5/5 — A Delightful Paradox

*2021-07-17, version 1.2.2*

This game is so annoying but the music, graphics, and sound effects are so good that I don't even care. I can't stop playing it. I even like the "FAIL BSOD" effect. It's even better when uh... Mentally stimulated.

### 1/5 — This doesn’t make any sense.

*2021-07-18, version 1.2.2*

You have to wait about 60 seconds for this “game” to load, then it shows a bunch of random things. How do you control the ball? I guess it’s artsy or something. I’m glad it didn’t cost any money. Ugh.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-07-11, version 1.2.2*

Very bad

### 1/5 — 理不尽

*2020-01-28*

毎回全く違うルートで始まる意味がわからない
せめて失敗したときは同じルートにして欲しい

### 1/5 — 楽しいのは最初の5分だけ

*2019-11-03*

あとは異常なストレスと虚無しかない。
雰囲気ゲーとしてというより、単純にこの手のゲームとしても異常な難度のレベルデザインになっている。端的に言えば「ランダム生成されるか初見殺し」といったところ。
非常に完成度の高いビジュアルと音楽を打ち消して余りあるゲームの出来の悪さです。ほんの少し触って満足できる方向け。

### 1/5 — Buggy 😞

*2019-06-08, version 1.2.0*

Full of bugs🐞, crashes constantly.

### 1/5 — ipad air

*2019-03-25, version 1.1.0*

Funzt net.

### 1/5 — Pseudo-Retro Langweiler

*2019-03-17, version 1.0.3*

Absolut banal und eigentlich nicht der Rede wert. Aber hier werden ganz klar Rezensionen gefälscht und das ist eine Frechheit. Brutalistisches Meisterwerk? Leute, offensichtlicher geht’s nicht. Fake News.

### 1/5 — schlechtes Leveldesign, miese Physik, inkonsistente Steuerung

*2019-03-13, version 1.0.3*

Selten habe ich mich über den Kauf eines Spiels so geärgert wie bei Marbloid. Mag die grafische Aufmachung ja noch Geschmackssache sein (ich empfinde sie als auf Dauer nervig), hört der Spaß beim Levendesign auf. Es gibt, bedingt durch das Rollverhalten der Kugel (immer nach vorn!) "tote Ecken", aus denen man nur herauskommt, wenn man freiwillig in den Abgrund springt. Man kann mangels Schattenwurf und suboptimaler Kamera an vielen Stellen nicht differenzieren, ob die einzelnen Plattformen sich in der Höhe unterscheiden oder nicht. Häufig glaubt man, einfach rollen zu können und fällt dann ein kleines Stück nach unten auf eine Mini-Plattform und müßte wieder hochspringen. Geht aber nicht, weil man dann über die Zielplattform hinausspringt, da die Sprungweite nicht zu kontrollieren ist. Gleiches Problem bei den Schienen, die nicht immer von der Plattform aus an jeder Stelle erreichbar sind - auch, wenn es nach "gleicher Höhe" aussieht.

Es kommt auch vor, dass man gar nicht sieht, wo man hinrollen muß, da Hintergrund und Plattformen farblich ineinander übergehen (z.B. Level 10). Die Unschärfe im Hintergrund nervt, ebenso der physikalisch nicht korrekte Schattenwurf einzelner Elemente. Teilweise sollen wohl einzelne Bodenplatten leicht spiegeln (man erahnt es an den Hindernissen, die ein dezentes Spiegelbild produzieren), die Kugel aber besitzt nur einen Schatten und spiegelt sich nie. Die Booster-Flächen katapultieren die Kugel nicht zwingend in die richtige Richtung, wenn man schräg darauf zurollt. Häufig prallt die Kugel an den Portalen ab und man landet in einer toten Ecke. Das Abprallen der Kugel von Wänden fühlt sich falsch an, ebenso das Verhalten nach einem Sprung.

Ich habe nichts gegen herausfordernde Spiele, aber das hier ist wg. der schlechten Physik und der suboptimalen Levelgestaltung einfach nur Frust. Marble Madness auf dem Amiga war um Längen besser.

### 1/5 — Vom Kauf abgeraten.

*2019-03-11, version 1.0.3*

Ballphysik Grotten schlecht. Warum kann nicht 1 Level als Gratis Spiel angeboten werden, wenn es dem Spieler gefällt, kann er ja die Vollversion kaufen. Aber so, Spiel macht keinen Spaß, ist den Preis nicht wert. Wie gesagt, Steuerung (iPhone ist flach zum Boden ausgerichtet) nicht logisch, Ballphysik zufällig. App gelöscht.

### 1/5 — Откровенное издевательство

*2019-01-27, version 1.0.3*

Прошёл игру не дойдя до 29 ранга, то есть заработал 1000000000 очков. Какое же мое было удивление, что для 30 ранга нужно ещё СТОЛЬКО ЖЕ. Я тоже умею шутить, держите

### 5/5 — Красивый проект 💎

*2026-04-02, version 1.2.2*

Приятный саунд дизайн ! Чистый Vaporwave ✨👌

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい電子ドラッグ

*2026-03-12*

更新は止まってしまっているようだけどvapor waveがよく知られた今だからこそアップデートされるべき

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the review and your input! We really like your idea and added it to our idea list of things to add for future updates.

### 5/5 — Eyeliner (Great Music)

*2025-03-05, version 1.2.2*

Found this app because one of my favorite vaporwave artists, Eyeliner made some jams for this game. 
The songs are amazing and the game is too!

### 5/5 — My favorite iOS game

*2025-02-25, version 1.2.2*

Beautifully designed, super fun to play.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра!

*2024-10-05, version 1.2.2*

Приятная графика, приятное музыкальное сопровождение, инета не требует для старта. Все хорошо 👍
На управление жаловались, но не увидел проблем, для таких игр управление только наклонять устройство, так что поклонникам жанра рекомендую 😉🥳

### 5/5 — MVの中へTilt&TAP!

*2024-07-17*

VaporWaveの世界を集約した1つのボールを操り、BGMのMVの中へ浸る感覚。 アプリ内課金でいいので、ステージごとのBGMを聴きたい。ジュークボックス機能が欲しいです。

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2024-06-11, version 1.2.2*

Einfach klasse!

### 5/5 — Perfect game !!

*2024-02-06, version 1.2.2*

The game is incredibly nice, the graphics are great 🌸✨🌠

### 5/5 — Simply sublime!

*2023-11-27, version 1.2.2*

If you’re into vaporwave aesthetics then this game is 100% for you, but even if you’re not the level of craft and polish on it is sure to make it a fun play for anyone! I love how it gradually unlocks more gameplay features as you level up, and every time you press play the levels feel fresh regardless of how many times you’ve played.

### 5/5 — Sehr interessante spannende Spiel

*2023-08-19, version 1.2.2*

Das Spiel gefällt mir sehr gut,aber etwas zu schwer,sonst finde ich das Spiel sehr gut und sehr interessant. Darum gebe ich 5 Sterne
