  4. [R37] Castle Crumble 5/5 · GB More levels!!: Hurryyyyyyy I need fresh levels
  5. [R3] Castle Crumble 3/5 · GB Really annoying features.: I got to point number 5 when the review disappeared. So to continue, the one I dislike the most is where the weapons are attached to the tnt balloon, if you destroy the balloon the weapons are deducted. Except even when you avoid the balloon completely the weapons are still deducted. Again not fair. Particularly when you are doing the 7 castles crumble challenge, you don
  6. [R8] Castle Crumble 4/5 · GB Good but one thing…: It is great but it is to easy and if you lose at every game then this is for you
  7. [R10] Castle Crumble 1/5 · GB angry birds, but easier and not angry bird and angry birds average at best: but easier and not angry bird and angry birds average at best. nice graphics and presentation but just not very difficult
  8. [R12] Castle Crumble 3/5 · GB Good up to level 15: Was enjoying the game up until level 15. After the introduction of boosters you get presented with the second part of the level which is a small tower that looks like it will be easy to fell, but no matter how much you throw at it nothing seems to break. Makes obtaining 3 stars impossible.
  9. [R1] Castle Crumble 1/5 · GB New update a failure: Installed latest update today and the game will just not fully load. It gets to title screen and pathway try to play and it’s an endless spinning little man at bottom of screen. Please fix.
  10. [R9] Castle Crumble 3/5 · GB Okay but un playable: A nice game but whenever I try to play level 6 the screen start’s to shake before the castle load’s and it never stops.
  11. [R13] Castle Crumble 1/5 · GB Great, until it goes wrong.: I enjoy the game, but the bugs are getting really tiresome. Every time I open it, I get a message telling me there was an error and asking if I want to allow my personal info to be used in a report. It’s currently not allowing me to play the daily challenge, yet again.
  12. [R15] Castle Crumble 3/5 · GB It’s OK: But what’s happened to the graphics? Last time I played this they were sharper and anti aliased, now I’m seeing jaggies everywhere
  13. [R32] Castle Crumble 5/5 · GB Megastar: Cool
  14. [R33] Castle Crumble 4/5 · GB Entertaining and enjoyable I suppose: Really good game overall, just getting a little bit bored of the same thing. Every single round you play, you basically just do the same thing. After 5-10 minutes I eventually get bored of it and log out. Good game for short line waiting, but wouldn’t recommend it as your top game for a long flight.I enjoy it but sometimes get bored. Anyways, This app doesn’t
  15. [R42] Castle Crumble 5/5 · GB Satisfyingly Addictive.: Not only is the animation and play mechanics very smooth, but the ability to replay the levels with challenges that make you question your moves is what keeps me coming back. Getting a castle in one move is extremely satisfying. Well worth it when found on Apple Arcade.
