Marble Loops
Reported bugs
9 issues- Suddenly knocks you off the game
- Balls suddenly don't clear anything and you have to start over
- No passing level 9-6
- Shooting balls through holes they connect to the closest chain even though there is more than enough room for the ball to go through, holes closing up when they aren't supposed to, color combination on the chain is wonky and many times the warning sound is already beeping before I am able to get rid of color chains
- Game makes me WAIT for like 5 seconds to brings balls AGAIN
