### 1/5 — This really hits BAD

*2026-06-30*

no freedom in this game huh? An ADHD brain like me WILL NEVER LIKE THIS GAME AT ALL BECAUSE OF THE COST. I WILL NEVER GIVE THIS GAME A 5-STAR REVIEW FOREVER. AND I WILL ASSUME THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY FRICKING HORRBILE 👊🤬👎

### 4/5 — Can’t delete

*2025-08-29, version 1.1.0*

I built a big track but you can’t delete

### 4/5 — my review

*2025-07-22, version 1.1.0*

it was kinda annoying but when you get used to it its actually fun

### 1/5 — baaaad

*2023-12-10*

could not even place anything

### 1/5 — Game is a cash grab, Don’t recommend buying

*2023-10-01, version 1.1.0*

Game is pay-to-win, you need to give the greedy developer(s) money to make a decent marble run. And controls are bad

### 5/5 — Rhfjdgd

*2022-08-13*

### 2/5 — clearly not properly supported on mac, so why is it on mac at all?

*2022-06-10*

does not take advantage of keyboard almost at all, does not use right click whatsoever, really bad camera controls. giving 2 star instead of 1 star because even if it needs work, its still one of the only marble simulations we have. unlimited blocks and **PROPER** mac support would make this a lot better, as well as a clear all button so I don't have to painfully delete each and every single block indevidually and often accadentally make more which only makes this more difficult. nice QOL feature would be to have the blocks change between more than just 2 modes, such as a solid version or a white one.

keep working on this, it really needs it, and so does everyone else (who likes marbles)

### 5/5 — Epic game
