### 3/5 — Sound Options

*2015-03-31, version 1.6.8*

It is very annoying having to turn off/down the sound every time one opens the application. Will you please seek a way to resolve this?

### 3/5 — Frustration

*2014-09-23, version 1.6.8*

I love this game, but I get really frustrated towards the end because the game starts to cheat. Orbs don't roll back, the game ends when the orbs are barely close to the hole, the orbs start rolling faster, etc.

### 5/5 — かなりハマりました

*2014-01-08*

楽しいです。パズルゲームの中で、一番ハマったアプリです。オープニングも幻想的でよく出来てます。

### 5/5 — Sparkle 2

*2013-10-07, version 1.6.8*

Es un juego bonito, es la versión antigua pero moderna. Es encantador y con buenos colores y el diseño es precioso. Os falta ponerlo en español, por eso casi debería quitaros una estrella, pero es tan bonito que os perdono.

### 5/5 — 2,3年

*2013-09-30*

愛用したゲームです。
1ラウンドをサクッと遊べるのでテンポがイイです。
また音楽等、独特の雰囲気で世界に引き込まれる感じです。
是非是非お試しあれ。

### 1/5 — イラつくけど楽しい

*2020-02-22*

ノーマルでクエストクリアしたのに、まだ旅は終わらんとか言ってもう少し難易度上げて挑戦しようとか言ってくるし、3コンボしたいのにやらせてくれないし、消したいボールあるのに消させてくれないし、おまけに何度も死ぬし、だいぶイラつく。特に3コンボで出て来るあのスピードショット、要らんから消して欲しい。それだけやってくれば星五に直してやる。

### 1/5 — 64-bit support erased my progress

*2017-08-29*

I have to start from scratch now!
Love the game but... 1 star for this mishap!

### 1/5 — IPad 3 geht nicht

*2012-04-01, version 1.6.3*

Ich habe Sparkle für mein iPhone und iPad gekauft. Auf dem iPhone läuft es , auf dem iPad 3 nicht. Ich sehe es nicht ein nochmal 4 Euro zu bezahlen, dass es auch auf dem iPad geht. Updaten.....

### 1/5 — About time you update the app with support for retina screen, no?

*2012-02-23, version 1.6.3*

About time you update the app with support for retina screen, no?

### 1/5 — Μαλακια

*2011-12-27, version 1.6.3*

Μιλάμε για τη μαλακια

### 1/5 — Update

*2011-11-14, version 1.6.3*

Since running the update, I can't mute the music or effects completely. Sort this out please!!

### 1/5 — Anonymice

*2011-10-31, version 1.6.3*

Glad I could delete this & it was free.

Issues:

1. Locked achievements/amulets cannot be achieved after passing a certain point in the game.

2. Impossible to remove profile information if you delete and reinstall, unachievable amulets are still locked. No way to get.

3. Difficulty DOES NOT SCALE. Went from beating game handily too completely impossible in 2 levels.

4. Crashed A LOT.

This is unfortunate since it seems like a lot if fun, but too many issues. Developers need to fix.

### 1/5 — Frustration!

*2011-10-29, version 1.6.3*

Too difficult.

### 1/5 — Bug version

*2011-10-02, version 1.6.2*

The last version has a bug it is not working

### 1/5 — 落ちる

*2011-10-02*

アップデート後、起動するとすぐ落ちて遊べません！！
せっかく、楽しませてもらってるゲームなので早急な改善の対応お願いします！！！！！

### 5/5 — My decades long go to

*2025-12-12, version 1.7.0*

I’ve had this app since the Palm Pre cellphone existed.  All those decades ago, it was the only good game I could get on that phone.

Years later, after countless pay-to-play games have stolen my attention, when I’m just done overspending money on games that suck, I always come back to this - Sparkle. It’s the right level of challenging, doesn’t require data, and can be varied enough with all the features hidden inside.

I don’t know if this review will convince any new people to get this game, but I just wanted to thank the creators for making it. I touched all your names in the credits.

### 5/5 — I have played this game off and on for years

*2023-09-19, version 1.7.0*

Got a new iPad and downloaded Sparkle which I had for years, but had to pay $2.99 for.  I was ok with that but when I downloaded it , it is so small on the screen and you need a big screen for this.  Help, anyone?I was going to post a pic but can’t figure out how but it’s a little rectangle sitting in the middle of a 12.9” screen.

### 5/5 — Mega

*2023-08-31*

Ein Episches Game

### 5/5 — This is amazing 🤩

*2020-11-30, version 1.7.0*

I love this game because the graphics are 💯 good 😌

### 5/5 — Marble Shooting Perfection

*2020-08-11, version 1.7.0*

By far thee best marble shooting game around. My only suggestion would be to create a new Sparkle 2021 or 2022. More, more, more!

### 5/5 — Love It

*2019-08-06, version 1.7.0*

Have played it since it came out for the iPod, many years ago.  Still play it almost every day!

### 5/5 — My All-Time Favorite

*2019-07-10, version 1.7.0*

I have plated this game all the way through more times than I can count over the last 5 or 6 years. I may abandon it for months at a time, but when I’m bored or have insomnia, I go back to it. Absolutely addictive. The subsequent Sparkle versions don’t come close to the original. Balls are too big. Play too slow. Just not the same.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-05-11, version 1.7.0*

I really enjoy the first half of this game. After Day 90 or 100 or so I always end up just restarting and playing through from the start.  Once more colors are introduced, the difficulty spikes change the feel of the game from laid back fun to frantic frustration.  Still, the game is a blast until then.  And it is so nice to not be inundated with ads, so this game is definitely five stars!

### 5/5 — The Best!!!

*2019-05-05, version 1.7.0*

Just played this game again.  I love it.  After finally being able to break the chains of the IAP games I forgot how awesome this game was.

### 5/5 — やりがいアリ♪

*2016-06-01*

ハマります！
