- [R3] AWESOME: Such a fun game!! It reminds me of one of my all time favorite games Catapult King .. I’m an adult and got it for my nephews, but I’m the one playing it lol. I’m already on level 120. Definitely worth a subscription if only for this game!!
- [R24] Always positive app previews: The game, Castle Crumble I really like because it gives me a lot of fun and I’d like to see things blow up in games sometimes cause it’s so satisfying to watch and it gives you like a chance to use your eyes get a good eon things. See what you did wrong on that like I guess you could say blow up thing but yeah it’s really good game. I really like it and it’s fun to pl
- [R29] Wow: I love this game! This game is super addictive and fun also like SUPER satisfying like the TNT🤩🤩 I would definitely recommend this castle destroying monstrosity to play. No bad things here! Also I am progressing super fast and that is one reason why this game is addictive.
- [R5] Great game so far: I have really enjoyed this game. No ads makes it best.
- [R25] Good game: There are NO adds which I love and I love destroying stuff
- [R36] Amazing game!🫶🏽💕❤️: This game has no adds and it’s fun entertaining and you can make it zero gravity! Amazing game that’s so why I gave it a 5 star rating, also it is so much like my other favorite game called spire blast. In comparison this game is better than any of the other games. But the best part is that it is free and it has NO ADDS. As amazing as it can seem get the game and enjoy trust me

- [R4] It says what it does on the tin: This game is incredibly fun, vastly entertaining and extremely well designed. Not only is it varied enough to keep you blowing things up for hours on end, the developers really listen, they respond and make adjustments quickly. Bravo on an amazing game!
- [R42] Fun crumbling castles: I’ve been playing Castle Crumble since its launch. There’s something strangely satisfying about destroying castles on islands inhabited by weird creatures. The only bug I’m still encountering is an occasional wayward weapon that sets itself off without my triggering it. It’s very frustrating to lose weapons in this way, especially when there’s a limited supply for two or thr
- [R9] Keeps crashing: Was fun but keeps caressing when using the blue lighting bolt on several levels.
- [R10] Fun game, but . . ..: This is an enjoyable game, but it crashes every time on my iMac when I use the beam weapon. I’ve found that it’s impossible to get beyond level 171 without using this weapon. It’s a shame, but I’m going to have to delete the game because I can go no further.
- [R11] Crashes a lot: I love the game but crashes often when I use the laser. Please fix so I can binge more. 😁
- [R12] Keeps crashing: I love the game, but it keeps crashing when I tap on the castle
- [R16] Too easy: This game is super fun but really easy for me and I’ve done all the levels. I’m hoping for more levels and that they’re a lot harder. These levels are a bit too easy for me and I would like more of a challenge. I’m hoping you will bring out more levels so I can keep playing this. Super fun game and hard harder levels. I need harder levels. I need a challenge. There’s a super good plot an
- [R35] Not bad, but no challenge: The fun of destroying the castles is enjoyable, but there is no challenge at all. I have finished 95 levels, and it seems almost impossible to get less than 3 stars and have ammo left over. Needs a hard mode.
- [R38] No challenge: I love a good physics based puzzle game, but this one ain’t it. I played through level 28 and not an ounce of challenge. Maybe a good game for your newborn or pet lizard.
- [R45] Almost fun: Not bad, but once you get 10 levels in you can tell no one really cared about this game, it’s just to help finance the VR efforts of a larger company. There’s no progression, no change in difficulty, no strategy… it’s just a physics demo that got handed to a dev that was told to add 100 levels of whatever so it could be sold on the cheap. The company has like 5 other physics games t
- [R27] Love the game but….: I love this game and enjoy it to pass the time. However I am on level 672 and there are no castles to crumble. Literally just open space, some rock canyons, and cactus. Can’t move on any further. I tried googling if there was an issue but I can’t find anything to do with level 672. I hope someone reaches out to me or just gonna delete this game.
- [R40] Stopped Working: I like the game play. It does get repetitive but the physics and planning where to shot is fun. However, it stopped working ⅔ of the way through the level 51. I put in a ticket and got a response but no fix. That was a few weeks ago.
- [R54] Issues with game: I’m loving the game, but got to the highlands ands level 52 3rd stage and it stops working. I can’t shoot, plant a bomb, or use acid. Just spin the map around
- [R73] Fun game but can’t 3 Star level 15 no matter what: Enjoy the gameplay overall, but there seems to be an issue preventing someone from getting three stars on one singular level. When you try level 15 there’s no way to get the third star.
- [R126] Updated: Daily games don’t work again: Game has reverted back to not working
- [R132] It was a good game, but grew glitchy: I was really enjoying the game; had realistic physics, lots of fun watching the castles fall. As it grew more complex, glitches became the norm. I haven’t been able to play the Daily Challenges for many days now because there’s always a countdown clock showing when they’ll become open (and they never open). Many times I’ll blast a castle and watch in wonder a
- [R139] Can’t play daily challenges: At the beginning of the update it would let me play the daily challenges, but for the last week it doesn’t give me the option to play or even start it the update is also super glitchy (buildings not fully crumbling and float in mid air) that’s why I’m giving it a couple stars other then that I LOVE this game. Please fix
- [R142] Needs Work: Great fun game, but it’s glitchy and the daily challenges rarely work. The clock counts down, and every day I sign in to do the challenge, and the clock is counting down and I never actually play the lvl. It’s supposed to start at noon, and I went to play it at 12:40 and the clock was counting down like I had already played the challenge for the day, which I had not. It’s really disapp
- [R17] Used to be great: This game was amazing until the latest update. Now, it no longer gets past the loading screen. Can’t even play it at all now. If this gets fixed…I will update the rating.
- [R52] Stuck on Loading Screen: Doesn’t go past loading screen. Stuck on “Leveling terrain”
- [R86] wont even work: i recently redownloaded this game and it wont even load onto the main page it just says “leveling terrain” and wont load at all ive tried deleting and downloading it multiple times and loading it on airplane mode but to avail i was really looking forward to playing this again but simply doesnt work
- [R120] Won't load: Tried twice won't work on ipad pro with latest os
- [R37] Level 54 unplayable, needs rotation tweak: Playing the latest version, controls are a lot better than the first version I played. The only thing I would want now is to change the rotation from pinch with index finger to pinch with second finger. That way, I could seamlessly go from targeting to rotating without accidentally launching attacks. Also try to make the rotation more one to one than it i
- [R59] Fun, but feels terrible: Cool concept and fun in theory! Unfortunately the rotation of the platform feels awful. Seems to either rotate at random or barely at all. Sometimes it goes at lightspeed. Doesn’t feel like 1:1 movement at all. It feels terrible to play.
- [R94] Nice but: This is nice Apple Vision Pro version of the game from Apple Arcade. The explosions of the castles looks great in spatial view. But the hand tracking control seems a bit wonky. Rotating the castle seems to be a problem. I hope the devs will fix this pretty soon.
- [R13] Not Bad But graphics: The graphics are so high that one time this week my game crashed. Lags bad for my mobile tablet a lot but it was a really fun game so three stars 🌟⭐️🌟
- [R148] Great but glitchy: I really love playing this game but it has so many glitches and graphic hangups. And the battery drain is shocking. My iPhone gets hotter playing this than using any other app.
- [R31] Cloud: Why doesnt progress synch across devices?
- [R115] WAS great: Was really addicting and fun until I got 550 levels completed to three stars and the sound quit working, tried everything to get it to work but it wouldn’t. Finally decided to uninstall and reinstall and it wiped all my game data so now have to start all over again!!! So frustrating, uninstalling and never playing again!!!
- [R1] Perfect?: Perfect? Almost, don’t get me wrong I love it, it’s loads of fun, the back story is interesting. However I have run into some issues with the textures loading in and out on some castles which is quite odd but over all great game!
- [R26] Dub: No glitches so fun, funny great graphics give it the dub😄💕
- [R53] Too easy: This game is painfully boring from the outset. I made it through 8 essentially identical levels with no real difference in gameplay or strategy required. Just hit the thing with the thing. I guarantee you will get 3 stars every time. It’s not fun when you don’t have to think.
- [R89] Fun but glitchy: Literally one of the earliest levels (level 15) cannot be 3-starred because the final tower is indestructible. Playing on iPhone 15 Pro Max
- [R95] Lvl 15 is broken: I’m trying to get 3 stars on every level, but level 15 on the first world is broken. It’s the level where they first introduce the meteor strike. In the second part of the level the little tower is indestructible, forcing only 2 out of 3 stars
