### 3/5 — まあまあ楽しい

*2024-07-27, version 4.7*

パズルゲームが得意ではない私でも楽しめるぐらいの難易度です。 日本語非対応ですがルールは簡単ですし、説明も捻った言い回しや難しい文章も出てきません。 テトリスとはかなりジャンルが異なるので宣伝の仕方としては少し微妙な感じもしました。でも、パジトノフ作品が携わったことが書いてなければインストールしなかったと思うのでこれでもいいのかなと思いました。 Marbly Coins(課金要素)が高い気がしますが、広告の頻度を考えると仕方のないことでしょうか？

### 2/5 — Gatcha

*2023-09-19, version 3.9*

O jogo é bem legal, mas tem aquela chatice de ficar juntando moedas pra desbloquear novas fases. E ele completo custa 80 reais

### 2/5 — Overheating bug

*2021-10-20, version 3.6*

Great game except it causes my iPhone 12 running iOS 15.0.2 to get scorching hot to the touch. Please fix the bug in your software before it breaks people’s phones.

### 4/5 — Great little game, how do I turn the sound off?

*2017-04-06, version 2.3*

A sense of settings is very annoying, how can I turn the sound off?!

### 4/5 — Хорошо

*2016-10-04, version 2.3*

Отличная и крайняя игра от создателя тетриса Алесея Пажитнова

### 4/5 — So adictive and chalenging!

*2015-02-16, version 1.9*

Though, some levels are to hard for me...

### 2/5 — Ruined by popups

*2014-12-13, version 1.9*

I used to play this a lot, but now the popup ads are unpleasant to deal with.

### 2/5 — Too Many Pop Up Ads

*2014-12-13, version 1.9*

The pop up ads crop up so often that the game, which is kind of fun, is totally in playable. I do not recommend this game for relaxation because the ads are so irritating

### 2/5 — Too many pop up ads!

*2014-11-16, version 1.9*

I used to enjoy playing this game and would previously have given it 5 stars. The latest version has too many ads popping up during the game which is distracting. Not fun anymore.

### 5/5 — ANTI STRESS

*2014-09-01, version 1.8*

Get it now!

### 5/5 — Que du bonheur de casse-tête :)

### 1/5 — Great game but........

*2021-01-29, version 3.4*

Won't let me play the game. Every time I open the app it turns to a blue screen then back to home page,!

### 1/5 — Untitled

*2020-02-21, version 3.3*

広告詐欺アプリ

### 1/5 — Изменить язык

*2018-03-12, version 2.4*

Андрей Новиков... Ты ж вроде Русский, а чё продался на иностранные языки?Игры неплохие, но из за принципа не хочу загружать пока не будет русского, поэтому и оценка такая

### 1/5 — Реклама!

*2016-05-01, version 2.3*

Автор изуродовал "новую игру от создателя тетриса"! Пошлый мигающий баннер на каждом экране. На скриншотах его нет. Обман! О таком надо предупреждать!

### 1/5 — Decent puzzle game lacks proper guide lines

*2016-02-09, version 2.2*

The game has a daily challenge that is not updated daily.  The scoring is not defined properly either.

### 1/5 — Не оплачивайте платную версию

*2015-01-13, version 1.9*

Деньги в игре на счете не отражаются

### 1/5 — Too many pop ups GREEDY

*2014-11-23, version 1.9*

It isn't worth my time.

### 1/5 — Deleted: ads ad nauseum

*2014-11-13, version 1.9*

Played and enjoyed this game for months... until this version.  Do a puzzle see a useless ad pop up. No thanks!

### 1/5 — 👎😤

*2014-01-21, version 1.7*

👎👎👎

### 1/5 — Horrible soundtrack

*2013-06-03, version 1.02*

There is no way to silence the unrelenting, annoying music unless you turn volume full down. What were you thinking?  Any good game needs a volume control - specially with such exasperating track. Plunk!

### 5/5 — YOOO

*2023-04-28, version 3.9*

### 5/5 — Par le createur de...

### 5/5 — Beğendim güzel bir oyun

*2018-11-28, version 2.7*

Şimdiye kadar oynadığım güzel oyunlardan biri.tavsiye ederim

### 5/5 — From the Russian Tetris creator.

*2017-04-27, version 2.4*

I threw a bone to this gentleman, I would have downloaded Tetris but I do not think Electronic Artists gives this man his due for originally creating Tetris.

### 5/5 — Недоработка

*2016-09-04, version 2.3*

Вызовы ежедневные глючат. Я его не прошла, но игра пишет, что "следующий вызов будет доступен в понедельник". Эээ.. Уже понедельник.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-07-14, version 1.8*

Really makes you think, but so simple, worth your time.

### 5/5 — Coolo

Ich finde es einfach cool

### 5/5 — Super

*2015-05-11, version 2.1*

Top !!!

### 5/5 — Addictive good game

*2015-04-04, version 2.0*

Addictive good game

### 5/5 — BEFORE THE POP-UPS & ALL THE ANNOYING ADS GOING NON-STOP THIS WAS AN AWESOME GAME!!!!

*2015-01-09, version 1.9*

I enjoyed the marble puzzles, some are real brain teasers! My problem is that there is a limited number of games before you have to buy more coins if you want to play more than the basic puzzles and challenges... 
It's still worth playing!!! Cool thing is that they fixed my problem and you get to play an additional 3 puzzles per day if you want. 
I had a lot of fun, hope you will too!

Still love the game but PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ADS!!! WE DON'T GET TO FINISH CHALLENGES BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CLOSE ADS...  :'-(

Thanks for reading what I think about Marbly. With the hope you'll clean up the ads and follow some logic like a better time and place for them I give my regards. :-)
