ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crazy Marbles holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Carpet Bombing 3 has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Crazy Marbles's written reviews are positive against 85% of Carpet Bombing 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crazy Marbles ships an update every 7 months, Carpet Bombing 3 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
