Not enough levels, good graphics but very disappointing. ### 5/5 — Top *2018-11-23* Dieses faszinierende Spiel begeistert mich seit Jahren. Top Grafik und spannende Level. Jetzt - endlich - auch in deutscher Sprache! ### 5/5 — Endlich in Deutsch *2018-11-12* Spiele schon jahrelang Sparkle, habe mich immer geärgert, das es nur für Windows auf Deutsch ist, jetzt endlich auch auf dem iPad ### 3/5 — Great game spoiled by gestures. *2018-11-07, version 1.2.0* Unfortunate the new swipe up to close gesture bar is visible in the game and by tapping near it the game brings up the pause menu. So you spend more time getting rid of the pause menu than is really necessary. It is possible to hide the bar until you swipe twice (once to activate and again to use) so please sort this out in a future update as currently (and after years of playing) this game is suffering. If you have a phone with Face ID then steer clear for now as it’ll really frustrate you. ### 5/5 — Great bubble shooter game! *2018-10-26, version 1.2.0* Been working my way through the bubble shooter games and found this one to be the standout! Each game is different and doesn’t seem to become repetitive like the other bubble games I’ve played. The only criticism is that some of the options get in the way of shooting bubbles and unexpectedly changing the shooter’s properties as it easy to miss them in the heat of battle so to speak. All in all, it feels like Sparkle sets the standard metric for bubble shooting games - 😎👌👌 ### 4/5 — Relaxing *2017-11-13, version 1.1.1* This game is relaxing and intense if that makes sense. The music is very nice and it's kind of an intense game I guess. Yes that what I mean lol. Buy it!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2017-11-11, version 1.1.1* Something about this game makes it playable, intense, satisfying, and a pleasure to play. If you like quick-thinking reflex games this game can not be beat. Also love the Unleashed sequel. Playing both again now and loving them both again! Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Playing again *2017-02-08, version 1.1.1* So good I re-downloaded it and am playing it through again. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2017-02-02, version 1.1.1* This is a really fun game I recommend it. I can't wait for number three to come out ### 5/5 — Sparkle 2 : A+ *2016-12-06, version 1.1.1* I have been playing Sparkle 2 for a few years now, and this version is a 'must have' for those of you who enjoy solid gameplay and a wonderful interface. I love Sparkle 2. ### 4/5 — Great with one flaw *2016-10-15, version 1.1.1* This game is absolutely fantastic. It's fun, challenging and loads of replay value. My one issue is that it doesn't have iCloud game saving. So if I ever need to reset my iPhone I lose all of my hard work and have to start over. Please add this feature in and keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Traumhaft *2016-10-06* Musik,Grafik einfach wunderschön inszeniert :D ### 5/5 — Great spinoff from the original *2016-08-12, version 1.1.0* I love how it keeps the same style of the last sparkle, but with improvements. I like the new music, powerups, etc. the levels and backgrounds are beautiful. The story is short and to the point yet enticing. I'm sure i'll be playing this for countless hours like i did the original. Hopefully this game gains some notoriety. Keep these coming ### 5/5 — Puzzle Candy Bliss *2016-02-06, version 1.1.0* Once purchased, you will b addicted, so you'll want to come up with ways to challenge yourself. A good way to do this is to do a Chuao Challenge. My fav is Baconluxious. If u just eat this bar, it is a waste. The true flavors are not released by chewing it. You have to have a game like Sparkle and Sparkle2, to fully appreciate this expensive treat. Take a square and let it slowly melt on your tongue as you plow throw level after level. Enjoy! Only drawback of game is that you cannot reset/restart without keys. Is the same true in PS3 version??? ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-02-01, version 1.1.0* Fantastic game, as all Sparkle games . Thanks ### 5/5 — Good *2016-01-12* Ещё, делайте ещё!!! ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍👍👍 *2015-12-04, version 1.1.0* Best of the Best Keep up the good work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Instantly crashing *2022-12-28, version 1.2.3* Game is fun, but the game instantly crashes when I open it now. Maybe an IOS16 issue? ### 1/5 — Where is the progress synchronization function between different devices? ! *2020-10-10, version 1.2.2* Where is the progress synchronization function between different devices? ! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2017-07-05, version 1.1.1* I loved the original Sparkle! It was fun and challenging. I've played it over and over at all levels. Sparkle 2 seems like slow motion. The orbs are huge and everything moves very slowly. Good graphics, but just not near the game that the first one was. ### 1/5 — First one way better *2014-01-23, version 1.1.0* I loved the first one and was excited to see there is finally #2 but I was very disappointed when I played round one and it cost me 4.99. The whole layout is huge and each round is over before you blink. I wish they would of used same layout and size of balls like in the first sparkle, I like to know why every game the 2nd part has to be different than the first, why not leave the thinks the same. I'm out 4.99 for a game that could be 100% better, a toddler can play that one and again balls are huge. If it was just like first one I would give it a 5star, I should of rated thus one 1star ### 1/5 — Обман *2013-11-27* В сторе стоит 169 а по факту сняли 269!! Какого хрена?? ### 1/5 — Magnifikkk mais un ptit hik *2013-11-15* La suite est tou simplement magnifik avec le rendu hd et la musique toujour aussi agreable Mais depuis peu le jeu se lance pas meme apres l'avoir desinstaller Ce jeu est trop instable a chaque fois que j'arrive a un certain niveau et que je relance le jeu hey c est pas POSSIBLE ### 1/5 — FIX THIS!!!!!...... *2013-09-24, version 1.0.1* Since updating to iOS 7....it is not possible to open this game....and it cost to much just for a screen icon ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2013-06-15, version 1.0.1* Crashes! ### 1/5 — Very Disappointed *2013-06-12* I'm so disappointed in Sparkle 2. I love, love, love the original Sparkle & have played every level over & over. Couldn't wait for the sequel to come out. But what a let down! The big fat orbs make play feel slow & clumsy. The graphics are much more cartoon-like than the first version. I expected it to be at least as good as the first Sparkle, if not better. I want to like it so bad, but definitely a bust, in my opinion. I just don't understand all the race reviews. How could anyone who played & loved the original Sparkle think this new version is better. I finished it in one evening and have no desire to play it anymore. Yet after 3 years, I STILL play Sparkle HD almost every night. I want a true sequel to the original Sparkle. Not a kiddie version. ### 2/5 — It is not a sequel, it's a remake *2014-02-20, version 1.1.0* It was disappointed to discover the game is pretty much the same as the first one. Same power-ups and stage design. It is not a sequel, it's a remake with not that much new stuff. I feel like I wasted my money. If you never played the first one though, the game is fun and addictive. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sparkle 1 *2024-02-20* Je ne trouve plus le 1 pour le re telechargé pourtant acheté. Pourrais je avoir une explication. Merci. Sinon pour celui ci 5 etoiles ### 5/5 — Adorable Artwork *2022-09-21, version 1.2.3* This game with wonderful art style has been installed in my android phone for at least five years, with all achievements acquired. I am totally obsessed😘. So I decided to buy it for my new iPad, in order to have a better gaming experience on a lager screen. The smooth gaming brings back the joy. But… To my disappointment, the graphics are presented in low resolution, with the edges of orbs blurring and some texts blurry too… This makes the artwork less charming. Maybe my device is not supported yet? (Air 5 ### 5/5 — Супер! *2021-08-31* Отличная игра!) Очень увлекает!) ### 5/5 — Need help *2021-02-12, version 1.2.2* Sparkle 2 is the best marble shooter game out there. But I’m stuck in the Nightmare level and can’t get out. How do I restart a level in an easier mode? ### 5/5 — Look No Further *2020-07-15, version 1.2.2* This is ‘the best Marble Game out there. It was designed perfectly. There are no flaws. Just fun~ ### 5/5 — さすが有料（笑） *2019-12-14* レベル失敗してもライフ無限だからいつでも復活可能、グラフィックも前作とは違ってすごい綺麗😍、ストーリー展開（5つの鍵を見つけてポータルに行く）、球揃えた時の爽快感、音楽の壮大さ、さすが！600円の価値がありますね笑笑。更に面白いのが、SPARKLE1 SPARKLE2 SPARKLE EPIC の順でやると、ストーリー展開が更に広がるのがこのゲームの面白さです。もうすごい笑 ### 5/5 — Thanks for updates *2019-10-20, version 1.2.2* Bought the game just because developer continues to update and support the game for the newest devices, thank you ### 5/5 — Good addictictive fun *2019-08-10, version 1.2.2* Goos addix ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-06-16, version 1.2.2* I was looking for the game like this! Used to play when i was a kid And this game looks amazing, love the graphics, no ads, totally worth it! ### 5/5 — Excelente !!! *2019-02-11* Ótimo jogo . Grande gráfico , trilha sonora e jogabilidade. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
