update new levels!
I don’t ever write reviews, especially for apps, but I love playing this game. It’s one of those go to mind numbing things that brings a simple pleasure. Most other versions of this game are too easy. This one starts out easy and as you reach higher levels you start to actually lose. I deleted app once because I couldn’t pass a level (level 146 I think) but after months of not playing it, I realized I still wanted to play it. I downloaded different variations of this game because I couldn’t find this one anymore and tada I found it again. I read some of the bad reviews and it’s not anymore money grabbing than any other games but I’ve never made a purchase and have still really enjoyed it. There are ads after every single time you play but that’s how it is with almost every other phone game. Everyone has different cups of tea, this is definitely my cup of tea mobile game
I don’t know why, but when I saw this as an ad in Instagram, it brought me back to simpler times. I remember playing this game (or rather the original version) as a kid on my fathers laptop, used to play it for hours. Wasn’t exactly the ideal game at the time, since I was always looking to play triple A shooter games (which my father couldn’t afford at the time), but it killed my boredom. I find myself enjoying this far more than I thought I would now as an adult.
The tutorial was minimal and i don’t feel like i excelled at the rate I normally do in a game. The marbles move fast and i repeatedly got the same color marble with few choices. I could spend all 5 lives and not pass level 60 which is comparatively low to other games I play. There is very few rewards which I was using all up and still not passing levels. I think I spent 15 or more lives on multiple levels. I never earned coins at all but they were sure to hit me with ads AND bug me to buy coins often. I usually am good at pay-to-win games without paying anything so believe me when I tell you this is a pay-to-win game. I downloaded marble master and immediately I am already at level 40 with no problems.
I really enjoy playing Marble Match Origin when it actually works — the graphics are nice, and the gameplay is fun and relaxing. However, the app keeps crashing every time I play, which has been really frustrating. This is now the third time I’ve downloaded the game, hoping that reinstalling it would fix the problem, but unfortunately, it still crashes. I’ve already reached out to the developers by email to let them know about this issue, and I’m still hoping they release an update soon because this game has a lot of potential. Until then, it’s hard to play for more than a few minutes without it shutting down.
I understand that games are meant to challenge you. In the beginning I like this game for that purpose. But then small little things started to get annoying and made me think. For example, when the balls are launched from the opening or pushed back to disappear into the opening the are shot to nearly the end of track. This does not give the player much of an ability to make moves to correct this giant hindrance. I am all for challenging games. It makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something when I win. But, when it feels the game is set for failure, meh, a lot less fun.
The game is fun at the start but once you get to the higher levels its like banging your head on a brick wall. The game will give you colors you don't need, or will make it to were you will keep losing until a certain amount of tries. It is so annoying like you'll beat 3 levels in a row then it will make it impossible to beat the next. It’s gotten to the point where i had to just uninstall. Also there is a lot of ads, after your first game you get a ad after, 2 or 3 games your get another or you'll get them back to back. Fun game but it cheats you so often.
This game starts out fun but quickly becomes a money grab. The levels become so increasingly difficult that you have a hard time winning them. The shooter is placed at weird angles that make shooting balls accurately impossible. Then to add insult to injury, the balls start halfway across the board. There are power ups within the levels but you’ll never get to use them because the angle of the shooter to the power up balls will cause you to shoot them where they aren’t needed. I got to about the 300 levels before I finally quit so this wasn’t just a one and done type of thing. If you decide to play this game be aware of these issues.
Absolutely love this game and have been playing for a while. However, since this last update, there have been so many glitches. Pausing while trying to shoot the marble and so it doesn’t end up in the spot you intend, constant lagging and pausing, where the sound will then disappear. Hopefully there will be a bug fix soon, but it’s getting so annoying that I don’t play as often because of it. Frustrating on the challenging levels when you don’t really have a chance to win because of the constant glitches. Please fix it soon!
