  1. [R9] Marble Master 3/5 · US Good game but too many side events: Game is fun but there are too many things you have to click thru when getting into the game. You have to tell the marsh quest to go away, a bunch of random events when I’m just trying to play the game idc about some stupid marsh quest
  2. [R19] Marble Master 1/5 · US Boring: The levels are too easy and way too short. Waste of time. I deleted it after 20 minutes of play. Also the developer likes to harass you if you leave a 1 star review. But here is the real reason I hated the game. They are trying too hard to make this game fun with all the bells and whistles and the pop ups are annoying trying to get you to buy add ons. First off the game is too easy and sho
  3. [R29] Marble Master 5/5 · US Marble Master: Marble master is a pretty cool Game it’s very relaxing and it’s a peaceful and mellow game that you can get very addicted to very fast. I will give this game of recommend a five out of five and I think y’all should play it as well.
  4. [R35] Marble Master 5/5 · US Long Lasting Fun: Talk about bang for your buck - I’m up to almost 1100 levels of this game, and I’m still challenged and still enjoying it. There’s a seemingly endless supply of new configurations and tasks set out. Really feel like this game got it right. Wondering if I will eventually complete it. How many levels are there??
  5. [R4] Marble Master 1/5 · US If you like to watch ads: Seriously I like the game but oh my, the ads. And I’m not talking just occasional, after EVERY game and some ads are 3-5 minutes. Other games I play may be a 30 second ad…not this one. I end up losing points because as soon as I finish a game, I close out just so I won’t have to watch another ad. Great game but the ads are killing it for me.
  6. [R6] Marble Master 3/5 · US Will update later if fixed: Literally cannot play the game because of the ads that WILL NOT CLOSE. I understand the need for ads, but recently I am getting the ads that let you play the game for a bit and then open the App Store. The problem is they won’t close after. There’s no way to exit aside from closing the game entirely. Which is a problem
  7. [R7] Marble Master 1/5 · US ADS, ADS & ADS!!!!: Uninstalling this app right now. TOO MANY ADDS. 1 or 2 adds every level you pass. That make the game impossible to enjoy and play….
  8. [R10] Marble Master 1/5 · US Grrr: Installed this app three days ago. The first two days were fun. Today, there is an ad break between each level, and the level takes far less than a minute to play. If this isn’t more ad time than play time, it’s too close for me. Bye.
  9. [R22] Marble Master 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: The game conveniently freezes on you when you’re making progress.
  10. [R72] Happy Hospital® 3/5 · US Freezes: The game is fun but lately when I watch an add for powerups or more time on a level, I could get halfway thru the ad and then it freezes and stays that way until I close out of the game completely and pull it back up just to have to start all the way over. It’s giving that y’all are trying to use this as a method to make ppl actually pay.
  11. [R81] Happy Hospital® 3/5 · US Loved this game until…: Recent update caused the reward ads to not have the option to close after I watch them. I have to close the app and then reopen to continue to play.
  12. [R3] Marble Master 3/5 · US Limited time add free: I paid eventually for a deal that included add free but I only enjoyed it for what seemed like a month now the adds are back so that’s annoying it’s a monthly cost for add free, other games it’s a one time fee I dont know why this one is different but now I know
  13. [R11] Marble Master 4/5 · US Up to the hole!: It is very maddening to be knocking out balls and they inch forward and go down the hole. 😖 and 900 is pricey.
  14. [R28] Marble Master 1/5 · US This is all ads and NO game!: The only way to stop the ads is to pay!! That was the solution offered, how lousy! What a frustrating SCAM this is!!!!
  15. [R37] Marble Master 2/5 · US Don’t see option to buy ad-free: Good game but would prefer to pay to remove ads.
  16. [R5] Marble Master 5/5 · US Team opportunities: Love the game would be great to see development on teams so that there could be co-leaders so multiple people could manage teams etc.
  17. [R18] Marble Master 3/5 · US Disappointed with recent changes: I absolutely LOVE this game!! However, I’m very frustrated that the daily option to watch ads to get free lives has been ended. I can’t afford to continually buy lives and it’s impossible to get through some levels without extra lives. Please consider restoring that option.
  18. [R30] Marble Master 3/5 · US Ads galore: I deleted this app when I found myself spending more time watching ads than playing the game. It didn’t start out that way so it was fun for a while. Especially bad after a recent update. Ads are also repetitive and annoying . I’m never going to download royal match and the cartoon makeover ones make me think they were created by a predator.
  19. [R13] Marble Master 1/5 · US Worst Game Ever: Do not download this game. It’s the worst game ever. There’s a commercial after everything and they forced it on you. There’s more commercials than game.
  20. [R43] Marble Master 1/5 · US Too much ads: Deleted! Too much video ads than game time :((( 2 video ads after each game
  21. [R73] Happy Hospital® 1/5 · US Impossible: Im used to p2p but dang cant even get one round in without watching so many videos and even if you pay some still cant keep up and you loose
  22. [R76] Happy Hospital® 1/5 · US Way Too Expensive: The game is really fun in itself but it is too hard to play without spending money. There’s also little to no payback to spending money in the game.
  23. [R91] Happy Hospital® 1/5 · US A waste of time: Do not waste your time if you don’t plan on spending money. Regardless of your skill level you will still not be able to pass levels without purchasing diamonds.
  24. [R102] Happy Hospital® 3/5 · US Not impressed: Although your game is fun, you expect people to purchase purchase purchase constantly in order to move ahead. Sometimes it takes me a week just to get through a board because I refuse to pay to win. I work hard for my money and if I can’t play a game I’m happy with, without having to spend my entire paycheck just to pass a few boards, then I’ll continue to play until I get enough fr
  25. [R75] Happy Hospital® 3/5 · US Love the game but now: I’ve been playing this game for about 1-2 years now and about a month or two ago after I updated the game, it will no longer load the game or starter screen unless I login to a Facebook account which I do not have. I’d like to continue playing without having to make a Facebook account and I refuse to make one. Please fix this issue
  26. [R82] Happy Hospital® 1/5 · US Why do I need to link FB?!?: I have been playing this game for years and have moved up so many levels only to try and play just now, but now I can't even login because it's forcing me to link my Facebook which I just refuse to do, so I guess all of these years mean nothing, and I will no longer play this game because of this. I am not linking my Facebook. Why is everything ruined? Why can't we use
  27. [R85] Happy Hospital® 1/5 · US Forcing Facebook login!: The latest update apparently is requiring that you use Facebook to login. I got rid of Facebook a long time ago and have no intention of creating an account with them again. So after playing this game for at least a couple of years, now I can’t get on. There is no customer support because you have to log into the game to reach them. I like this game, obviously, but if it’s
  28. [R97] Happy Hospital® 1/5 · US Money Pit: The challenges are fun but you have to use your money if you want to advance in the game. The coins you win can’t be used to purchase perks to help and you barely receive enough diamonds to purchase perks. It’s enjoyable and disappointing at the same time. 😒 Now the new update requires you to sign on using facebook in order to play the game. I should be given the option not forced. 😡 I’
