### 4/5 — Great, but needs bigger font!

*2025-10-08*

Loved Krumit’s Tale and Meteorfall and really wanted to get into this one too, but the font on the cards is just too small for a phone screen. Please fix this so I can get back enjoying the games you put out.

### 4/5 — Мелкий текст

*2025-07-17*

Уважаемы разработчики. Увеличьте текст пожалуйста, очень сложно читать таже на XS и я исправлю оценку на 5))

### 5/5 — Amazing game but…

*2025-07-08*

I love this game there are many possible combinations why makes each run different, it just feels a bit hard sometimes to optimise combos if we can’t get the right cards or upgrades, appart from that the gameplay loop is great. 
PLEASE do something for the crashes, on my device (Iphone XR) the game randomly crashes every 2/3 fights, I m sure it will be improved with time but that’s quite painful for now (also the text is quite small to read, it would be nice to have an option to increase size)

### 5/5 — Meteorfall is an instant buy

*2025-06-29*

This guy always delivers! These games are always fun. 

If I could change one thing, it would just be to have even more characters!

### 5/5 — 日本語あります

### 3/5 — Needs Work

*2025-06-22*

Sloth Works has developed some great games and typically the mechanics are really fun once you can hang on to them. Unfortunately, Rustbowl Rumble is not there yet.

The game is more ambitious but it is also really buggy. Battles will bug out and throw you to the title screen, forcing a hard reset that introduces a great deal of RNG that can mean the difference between winning and losing. The game’s ability to restore state if you lose focus on the app is similarly hit or miss.

I’ve also encountered bugs where clicking on an in town shop will automatically withdraw money from my cache and then not provide a clear upgrade.

Finally combat can just be punishing and unfun. For a game designed to play this long, the amount of RNG which can deny you a build or make a critical combat over before it starts is an absolute pain. Some mechanics need to be felt out better around equipped items.

### 4/5 — Fun game but crashes

*2025-06-22*

Fun game, but frustrating when the game crashes while you’re in the middle of a fight and have to restart the fight from the beginning. Hopefully the crashes get fixed.

### 4/5 — Fun, but rough ui and buggy

*2025-06-20*

I’ve had quite a few crashes and times where the game stalls out forcing me to leave the app to restart the battle.  The combat ui preview needs work too, it doesn’t show a lot of important information well and bugs out often.  The gameplay is great though once they fix these launch issues.

### 4/5 — Medium rawr product

*2025-06-20*

So the game itself is great! New story, new interactions, mechanics, interesting gameplay, animations, enemies. Fell in love with it just like it was with Krumit’s tale.

But… But there is always some “but”. There are still bugs, at least on iPhone 11. The game crushes or freezes sometimes, I got to the point where I can not progress through the Grimblelich on Steel league as Muldorf, it constantly freezes or crushes :( Don’t know whether it has smth to do with Muldorf though))

Then there is an issue with choosing the wild card if you have more than one. For some reason even if you choose right it seems that the game chooses the “last” one, what’s the point then in choosing? 

The font is a little bit tiny and sometimes text goes beyond the screen. Sometimes some meaningful information gets lost :)

In the “shop” interaction if the description is too long, you cannot buy the card as the description overlays the button. In some screens overlaying does nothing, but in shop it blocks interaction.

When all these bugs are sorted out and fixed it will be truly a 5 star game. But now there is a little bit of frustration. Keep up good work pretty please. 

And I will continue to try and defeat the UBERLICH! so that you could safely polish the game.

### 5/5 — Must get

*2025-06-20*

An amazing deck builder by a real mobile master. Another great entry airy a tremendous amount of variation and ever increasing difficulties. Highly highly recommended for roguelite deck builder lovers.

### 5/5 — Delightful

*2025-06-19*

Rustbowl Rumble is a fast, fun deck-building battler that fans of games like Monster Train will love. Its charming, Meteorfall-style art and addictive gameplay make it one of those “just one more run” games that keep you hooked way past bedtime. If you’re into deck-building roguelites, this one’s a must-play!

### 1/5 — unplayable

*2026-05-17*

UI is poorly designed, cannot read or understand anything, buggy UI leading to misclick can end the run

### 1/5 — Audio problems

*2025-12-09*

I’ve downloaded and uninstalled twice, still can’t hear anything..

### 1/5 — unplayable

*2025-06-26*

UI is poorly designed, cannot read or understand anything, buggy UI leading to misclick can end the run

### 1/5 — Really small text

*2025-06-21*

Love this dev’s games. This one seems overly complicated an issue made worse by the tiny hard to read font and barrage of in game directions and notices. The green check looks like a down chevron on wild card and selection screens. Has a moderate learning curve and the first match will likely turn off a lot of new players. It’s just a lot of info for the first brawl, then you are thrown into some schedule selection mode. The wild card store doesn’t have prices on the cards. There’s a lot of medium annoyances for a game that should be quick and fun. This dev is fantastic so
I’m sure it’s a me issue.  But not very accessible and could stand to be simplified some or at least have a training room. The tutorial  is fine but not super helpful it leaves out a lot of practical stuff like where to even view the crowd challenges or how to use a wild card. Looks fun, feels like a mess.

### 1/5 — Can’t read text

*2025-06-21*

The text describing the instructions and  function of ALL cards is stupid small. Makes the game unapproachable. Is text sizing a 101 thing in good game design?

### 1/5 — unplayable

*2025-06-19*

iconography and text size is impossible to play with, meanwhile the rest of the screen is unused. this is some gross oversight on the designer, refunding asap

### 2/5 — クラッシュする

*2025-07-08*

ゲーム自体は面白いけど2〜3戦するたびにクラッシュする。

### 2/5 — 文字が小さすぎる

*2025-06-25*

前作がとても面白かったので即購入。少し遊んでみてとても面白そうだと感じたものの、説明の文字が小さすぎて読むのが大変。Pro MAXのiPhoneでもそうなのでiPadじゃないと厳しいかも？？ゲームとしての奥行きやキャラクターたちの魅力はめちゃめちゃ感じるので文字サイズだけアプデで対応していただけるのを期待！

### 3/5 — solid but lacks depth

*2026-03-16*

really solid game its very cute very funny but the strategy in the game lacks alot of depth to me

### 3/5 — Glitches

*2025-08-21*

Fun game but mid battle it will zoom in to show the details of one brawler and the screen just gets stuck there. Have to kill the app and restart the battle. Very frustrating and makes me not want to play

### 5/5 — Bite Sized, Hard Strategy

*2026-07-09, version 1.0.85*

‘Nuf said. Just get it - compared to 95% of strategy games on App store, you won’t regret it.

I play a round a day at least when the wind blows. 7 rounds for 7 days of your week ;) - just be ready for it to be ramp up real hard (Use the second knight, the beast tamer, and … I can’t remember - I got to the sixth round for the first time using that)

PS: You can just unlock all champs if you really want to as the game is challenging enough ;)

### 5/5 — This dev makes great games

*2026-01-29*

This is another banger from Slothwerks. I’m not sure if I think the gameplay is superior to that of Krumit’s Tale but it is very good either way. It also has great production value in both art direction and sound design. Lots of different potential team comps make for extremely high replay value. Definitely lacking in enemy variety though. It has crashed on me a few times and as others have mentioned the ux is a bit weird but you figure it out. Basically you can tap on a brawler to see their intent and you can tap on the square they are standing on to see their buffs and debuffs and where I coming actions are coming from. It took a minute to realize you have to tap the brawler and the square separately to see that info. Easily worth the money for this game

### 5/5 — Fun roguelike deck builder

*2025-10-28*

I have played the previous two meteorfall games. This one resonates a lot more with me so far, partly the visual style I guess. Feels similar to slay the spire which is a good thing. Lots of interesting styles and synergies to experiment with.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-10-01, version 1.0.85*

Fantastic game, need more like this!!

### 5/5 — Very complex and super cute

*2025-09-18*

Might be a bit too hard to understand how to play, but the world is beautiful

### 5/5 — Text size in some places

*2025-08-29*

Is it possible to increase the text font?

### 5/5 — Excellent !

*2025-08-27*

Excellent et en français !

### 5/5 — If you like Slothwerks you’ll like this.

*2025-08-23*

Another solid game from Slothwerks. If you’ve liked their previous games, especially Krumit’s Tale, you’ll likely enjoy this. Same great artwork, voices, and an enjoyable card battler. Works great on my M4 Mac Mini and iPad. Two thumbs up for the developer!

### 5/5 — Super Fun Deck Builder

*2025-07-17*

This was a super fun deck builder with a lot of strategy. There are 8 different characters each with unique strengths, and you build a team of 3 to take advantage of their strengths. Each character has their own pool of cards. There are many difficulty levels to choose from, with the hardest being very challenging but still winnable with many different teams. The graphics look great, the game runs perfectly smooth. There are a few minor bugs, but those don’t distract too much from the gameplay. Love this game!

### 5/5 — Лучшие

*2025-07-09*

Отличная игра как и первая и вторая часть есть над чем подумать!
