## What is Plunk! the marble game?

Plunk! The marble maze game that truly stretches your brain.

Plunk! the marble game by OMG! Brews Games:

Inspired by handcrafted puzzles, each Plunk! level challenges you to navigate gorgeous marbles through a wooden labyrinth. Tilt your phone or tablet in all directions and use gravity to roll the marbles past holes and into their targets.

The first levels will test your hand-eye coordination as you maneuver one marble around, between and sometimes over fiendishly placed holes. Afterwards, the difficulty escalates as two, three, four or more simultaneous marbles force you to come up with increasingly complex plans.

Plunk! is ad-supported software that comes with 12 free levels. An optional upgrade is available within the application that provides many more levels and removes all advertisements.

### 5/5 — Updated Need

*2024-03-10, version 1.821*

Been wondering when you’ll make this app available for newer devices. I really miss it.

### 5/5 — Jhun

*2020-02-20, version 1.821*

Good

### 1/5 — Update

*2018-05-18, version 1.821*

Is this game going to be updated? It has not kept up with updates with my iPad so I cannot play, even though I haven’t been through all of the levels. Fix this please!

### 4/5 — No problems for me

*2018-03-27*

I don't have any of the technical problems reported by others maybe it is because I have an old iPad with iOS of 5.1.1, so far everything works fine, the tap at the beginning is to Calibrate the device so it is level when you being. What I really like is how close to reality the game is, if there were real balls in a wooden maze then it would sound and act exactly the way it does, so A+ for verisimilitude (look it up), but only a B for the game itself as its okay but not great. I haven't played the extended levels so there may be something there that is really good. I'll check out what I can then decide whether I should spend money or not!

As a kid I had games like this, where you would position little steel balls in holes while trying to get other balls in other holes. Spent hours with that thing. I never played the official game of marbles but made up my own games.

This is worth a look.

### 4/5 — Requires steady hand

*2017-11-09, version 1.821*

And patience

### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!!!

*2017-09-30, version 1.821*

I love this game and I've played it for 1 year now you should all play it it's....AMAZING❤️❤️

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-07-12, version 1.821*

It says to hold the iPhone flat to start the game and then when I do, it says tap the screen to start. And it just doesn't start. I have tried deleting it and downloading it again but it just doesn't work

### 3/5 — You can trick the game into not freezing up :-)

*2017-06-13*

I loaded it up, it said "tap to start," and when I tapped, nothing happened. In fact, the game completely froze.

I did a force-quit, tried again, and still couldn't get it to work, several times.

Then I got curious, launch to the game again, and rather than pushing the green triangle to start, I pushed the red Key icon instead. It took me to a screen I didn't care about, and then I pressed the Back button, and somehow the freezing problem went away.

The green triangle now worked, and I was able to launch the game. I'm not sure it's a great game, but it's free, and I can now play it, so I'll give it 3 stars.

### 1/5 — App dosnt work

*2017-05-20, version 1.821*

For a week now I have tried to play this game.  It doesn't work. When it says tap screen to play nothing happens

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2017-01-11, version 1.821*

Fun game, but there are only a few levels
