  1. [R3] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Fun game, bad update: It was a fun game but after the recent update the marble colors changed from bright to pale and some patterns were added on marbles so it’s really hard to see if it’s a regular marble or a magic one.. I stopped playing it.
  2. [R4] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Glitches and can’t earn high points: I’ve been playing this game for quite some time; on level 517. This game, especially recently, has been glitching so much it has become almost impossible to beat hard levels without having to use some type of boost which for some people you might have to spend money. Also, after you beat a certain amount of levels it is almost physically impossible to earn high
  3. [R5] Viola’s Quest 4/5 · US Landscape Orientation: What happened to playing the game landscape? It’s only portrait.
  4. [R6] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Only Portrait Mode?: Please give us the option of playing in portrait OR landscape mode!
  5. [R1] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Feels like it cheats you!: The shooter often won’t shoot when it will be good for you. Bought a package that included 6 hours of “lives”, the shooter will not shoot. Tried restarting, tried resetting….the game won’t work. I got totally ripped off!
  6. [R16] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Seriously thinking about deleting: This has been one of my favorite “unwind” games but I’ve been stuck on the same level for weeks. I hate the new interface & it’s harder & harder to get boosts to help with hard levels. I won’t pay & I used to be able to get by with videos but not any more. I wish you would switch things back.
  7. [R32] Viola’s Quest 2/5 · US New changes make it impossible: I’ve been playing this game for a while but with the new changes you can’t earn some of the special items anymore you have to pay for them. Several levels are so hard you have to have these special items to win. Unfortunately I’m going to be deleting the game as it’s no longer fun when you get stuck on a level for weeks and the only way to beat it is to spend money.
  8. [R15] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Could be better: I loved this game when I was able to rotate my phone so it was landscape. After one of the updates a while ago that stopped being able to happen. I also have to click through so many ads in order to actually play levels.
  9. [R17] Viola’s Quest 3/5 · US Fun game but too many events: I like the game but there are constantly like 3 events or whatever happening so every time I try I open the game I have to tap through at least 10 different pop ups walking me through the various levels and prizes and blahblahblah and I just want to play the game. There’s no way to just quickly skip through all the info pop ups. I’d play a lot more often if there were
  10. [R38] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US The ad for this game: Literally commits vandalism on your device. First I have sound turned off for ads, the ad for this not only turns ON your sound (with no way of muting it, like other more polite ads do) *IT KEEPS PLAYING EVEN AFTER THE AD IS OVER!* you literally have to CLOSE THE PROGRAM THAT WAS RUNNING TO MAKE IT STOP! UNACCEPTABLE. Fix it now! Update: the music *STILL* continues after the
  11. [R46] Viola’s Quest 1/5 · US Use to love it but they ruined it with an update: Let me add first the ads over rise your volume controls, so you can not longer mute the ads … I never have given a really bad review especially to something I found was a great game.. regretably I just say the developers / owners of this could care less what the customer likes.. not sure why? If you see the responses it’s pretty clear they want to
