Who it's for
This game is for players who enjoy classic marble shooter puzzle games like Zuma and are looking for a challenging, addictive experience R1R11R33R63. It is NOT for players who are easily frustrated by frequent, long ads, app crashes, or a pay-to-win monetization model R2R12R23R65.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on technical issues and excessive ads, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a significant decline in quality or user experience in recent updates. The developer's release notes mention 'fix bugs' but recent reviews contradict this, indicating ongoing and severe bug issues.

- [R1] Relaxing: A super fun game to play to relax after a hard day at work .
- [R11] Fun and challenging: Game is fun and challenging and one of my favorites. However I can no longer get it to load. I have made a vip purchase and have no way to contact support and because of the app issue I cannot collect what I have paid for. Very disappointed
- [R33] Jungle Blast game: I give the game 5 stars for being so addictive, improving my fastness, my keenness of observation and making me go further and win more levels. The ads drive me crazy, that is why I give it 3 stars on a review, could be better with less looooong advertising and wasted time on waiting. The game lose its sound time by time. Also on the recent levels( I play now level 677) the game
- [R63] Play: I loved ZUMA. As I age it is nice to find a similar and equally as fun game with clear color balls. Old people like a good game as well.

- [R57] Jungle Marbles: Is a great game. Yes you shoot marbles, but you never know what the next level will give you to complete. I really like it come on give it a try. Dorothy
- [R2] Ads,ads, and more ads: I can’t even enjoy playing the games without ads flooding in after every game. Had to delete it. So frustrating
- [R9] Too many ads and randomly glitchy: The game is fun when it works but the ads are outrageous and the game glitches during gameplay and causes you to lose sometimes. It’s really frustrating
- [R13] Had to delete and reinstall: I had been playing this game since 2021 but lately it kept crashing 😵💫 so I deleted but had to start from level 1 after I reinstalled it 😡 also too many ads 😫😵💫 but I still love the game
- [R18] Stupid amount of annoying ads. Run fast find another game: Stupid amount of annoying ads. Run fast find another game
- [R12] No longer works: Crashes every time
- [R3] Bug: Why does the music stop when playing this game? This is a big bug and it’s really bad. Is it fixable?
- [R10] Fun but..: Give me control of my own sound. If I want to play with music I can’t. I wanted to play this game on a 15hr flight while listening to music but couldn’t. Usually when I want to play this game is when listening to music. STOP MAKING THE MUSIC CUT OFF TO PLAY THIS GAME AND ILL GIVE IT BETTER THAN 2 STARS!
- [R55] Jungle blast: It’s a love hate thing. Love the game… but since someone new has taken the game over the sound goes off during play, you try to play the bonus game and it says you need to upgrade but when you try to upgrade the game says you’re already upgraded. Frustrating!
- [R17] Jungle Marble Blast: Why is the game unable to load and now I’m missing days to get my rewards another thing is that i always purchase $9.99 to get rewards from the task list and I never received them can someone help me please
- [R28] Good game: I really like this game, but it’s costing me way too much money to continue to play so I had to take it off my phone. I just kept wanting to beat the level, so I would pay for the extra coins or things that help me. if they ever lower the cost of the extra coins and, I will definitely be back to playing.
- [R35] Too expensive too many crashes: I really like this game when it will actually open and work. I do think it’s too expensive but would still play if it let me. No way to report a problem either.
- [R15] Jungle marble: I love the game but evert time I get to the challenge it starts me over the whole game starts Over from the beginning from the easy part I hate that let me finish The game😧And it took all my power I’ll start it over from the beginning because it keeps starting me over and if I have to turn the game off to do something and come back it starts me over I will be deleting this game
- [R58] Lost all my progress two separate times: Aside from the ads which are 30+seconds each and extremely repetitive, on two occasions my Creek has gone black in the middle of a round, and rebooted back to level one. I lost thousands of levels and my entire cache of tools.
- [R86] Glitches! And it deleted ALL my progress: It started with small frustrations like not being able to listen to music while playing this game for some reason. As soon as you initiate the game your music stops on your phone. It glitches from time to time but more than anything and as I’m about to delete this game I’ve played this game for over a year and it just deleted all of my progress. That’s the
- [R27] Random marble shooting is annoying.: Please turn off the random shooting of the marbles. It’s so annoying. It’s not fun, it’s not challenging. It’s aggravating and makes me not want to play anymore. We already have to deal with so many ads. There are levels that are almost impossible to win unless you save up your weapons or spend a ton of money. Also, when you first log in, please make it
- [R80] Cheat cheat cheat: So much cheat does ever game has to have so much cheating
- [R81] The game itself: It takes so much to complete it the higher you go . I’m not spending my money on a game; a game is for relaxing and stress relief.
- [R88] Was Fun until…: This Game was Super Fun until I came to Level 84. I’ve been playing the same level for a month or 2. And I can’t even come close to beating it. I get some levels are challenging, but this one seems impossible. So I’m deleting the game
- [R98] New update: Is terrible. Can no longer shoot the balls rapidly.
- [R99] No worth the time: Each update carries an Easter egg that handicaps the player. They want you to spend money in game so they are blatantly making it impossible to proceed higher levels without purchasing packs. This is one of many widely cloned “Zuma” games. Try a different one.
- [R100] Change it back: I have the same complaint as others, change the firing speed back! It’s too slow now.
- [R4] Jungle blast: This is an amazing games it so fun and interesting and entertaining I love this game and there is no adds win win is sounds like to me
- [R23] The ads are ridiculous and unhinged: I’ve played this game for a while. There are some glitches but I’ve dealt with them. Then they added more ads. I’ve dealt with those too. However , the ads have increased to an unhinged amount and it’s become absolutely ridiculous! 30 seconds when you log in followed by 15 seconds, 30 seconds after you fail, 30 seconds if you click the free replay button. Then
- [R40] Used to love this app: It’s a great game IF you can play it. It’s infested with ads. The higher the level you get, you can’t click on the level to play without numerous forced ads popping up. There’s no legend or instructions for moves you can do on the higher level or how to use some of the tools. After this last update I spent 8 minutes trying to play and had 0 oppt due to ads
- [R73] Too Many Ads!!: I love this game and would love to play it more, but I just cannot deal with the ads. We all know that ads are necessary, but having 30+ second ads between each level is just ridiculous. I play a lot of games online and most incidental ads are 15 seconds at most and many are 5. It only takes about 5 secoonds to know if you might be interested in an advertised game or product and
- [R22] App is crashing: Was enjoying the app until about 1 to 2 weeks ago, when it started crashing every time I try to open it. Haven’t been able to play since that started.
- [R34] Crashing: Why is the app crashing all week?? I cant play anymore?????
- [R39] App will NOT work!: Spent so much money and now the stupid app will not open! Keeps freezing and kicking me out! Reported the problem several times with no assistance from developer!
- [R56] Can’t listen to music while playing.: This game takes over any other audio even if the sound is off.
- [R90] Decent: The game has a good progressive puzzle system, honestly though, the reason I’m deleting it today it’s because I can’t play my Spotify music and the app at the same time.
- [R65] Money grab of micro purchases: Game is cool but filled with ads and even if you pay for VIP the ads remain. This is nothing but an overpriced micro purchase game. The developers are trash for charging so much and still earning revenue from ads.
- [R119] Purchases don’t save between devices: I spent a lot of money on my iPad on this game and when I went to play the game on my phone; my purchases hadn’t been saved. When looking into it, it says on the “load” page that it only loads levels only and not purchases. So I’m suppose to double buy VIP packages? Very disappointed. This should be fixed ASAP.
