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 ### 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. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2017-01-11, version 1.821* Fun game, but there are only a few levels ### 2/5 — Bugged on iOS 10 *2016-09-24, version 1.821* Strange graphical artifacts, freezing, and a square black box around the marble. iPad Air 2, iOS 10. Too bad - looks like a great game. Reboot did nothing to fix the problem. ### 2/5 — Broken *2016-04-30, version 1.821* It says tap the screen to start playing, i tap the screen and nothing happens. Is it available for iPhone 5S? ### 4/5 — Best game ever *2015-12-21, version 1.821* Super addicting :can't stop playing:) ### 2/5 — Fun with Glitch *2015-12-15, version 1.821* This game is great except for the big black square around my marble. Obviously a glitch that has not been addressed. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on my iPhone 6+ *2015-06-18, version 1.821* Instructs to lay phone flat - which I do- but then can't get passed that. Game won't start. ### 4/5 — Lol *2015-06-13, version 1.821* It was very hard but I like a challenge ### 3/5 — im guessing it needs an update *2015-04-17, version 1.821* it wont start. ive tapped and tapped to start playing and nothing happens. yes i held it flat and the words turned green and that's as far as i got. bummer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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.

You get to a board and right in the middle of it an Ad pops up and then starts you from the beginning... So if you want to actually play... You Have To Pay... Delete for me. 😄 ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2016-02-14, version 1.821* I just downloaded this game. You have to tap the screen to start and nothing happens. What a waste. ### 1/5 — Bad graphic glitch *2015-12-30, version 1.821* Why is the marble inside a square?

I tried to "tap to start" at least 20 times on multiple occasions but nothing happened. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2015-07-19, version 1.821* This game is rubbish! This is because I go on reviews and lots of people say it is amazing. Well actually I got it and first it said hold your screen flat. So I did and then it said tap to start. It didn't START!!! And then I got annoyed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Updated Need *2024-03-10, version 1.821* Been wondering when you’ll make this app available for newer devices.
