  1. [R5] Castle Crumble 5/5 · GB Loving it: I love it simple but detailed. And supa Easy gets a little hard at the end but great game doveloper please respond
  2. [R14] Castle Crumble 5/5 · GB Best game ever: Really satisfying and no ads enjoyable different looking castles not to difficult not to easy fun also challenges on level 2 free no In app purchases ether
  3. [R24] Castle Crumble 3/5 · GB A bit too easy: Great game, but its almost impossible not to get 3 stars first time everytime on every level. So making it far more challenging, and maybe also being able to choose your weapons would add some longevity to the game.
  4. [R36] Castle Crumble 5/5 · GB Amazing!!: Graphics incredible explosions are massive so👍👍🤙🤙🤙🤙
  5. [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.
  6. [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.
  7. [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.
  8. [R16] Castle Crumble 1/5 · GB Crashes: Games crashes and won’t start when it’s loaded, screen just shakes
  9. [R32] Castle Crumble 5/5 · GB Megastar: Cool
  10. [R51] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US WTH: This game is one of the few games. I consistently play when I’m bored. As many as mentioned, the TNT does not always detonate even when debris falls on it. The ads have gotten noticeably longer and there’s not even an option in app to purchase no ads. I would be willing to pay the three dollars if it means I could just play the game like I want to.
  11. [R54] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US I’m getting so many ads: I’m playing this game but the pose of ads won’t stop bro
  12. [R21] Castle Crumble 3/5 · GB Fun but glitchy: Addictive and fun game but can’t progress past level 360 as the castles don’t load 😅 would continue playing, but can’t. Hopefully fixed in an update.
  13. [R25] Castle Crumble 1/5 · GB Great game let down by bugs: The core of this game is fantastic. But there are also some bugs that make it ridiculously frustrating at times. For example, the new conquest mode has one level in the crystal level that you can’t load, it looks like it’s been set to be a conquest mode level but doesn’t have any modifiers, and it crashes the app. Literally no way to complete that challenge. Randomly
  14. [R63] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US DELETED - used to be fun until ads: Played for a few years - fun little mindless game that didn’t require a network connection. Well, they recently changed that, and ads, ads, ads, ads, ads. I’m done with you people - go rot.
  15. [R75] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US No offline mode: This app turned to trash. I had to wait in an area with no service for some people to arrive.. “I’ll just play some castle wreck”.. “Try again later, no internet connection” You failed me in my time of need. Deleted. You lost a customer. Good luck.
  16. [R79] Castle Wreck 5/5 · US No longer casual: It used to be a simple mindless (but still fun) game. As of Oct 11 2025 the bombs don’t go off like they used to. Also I miss playing off line.
  17. [R103] Castle Wreck 1/5 · US Lousy: This game used to be fun, as you could play offline with no adds. Additionally, no longer do you get multiple explosions, each dynamite stack has to be hit directly to explode, making it impossible to advance. What a shame, used to be a quick, waste of time go to game, uninstalling.
  18. [R56] Castle Wreck 3/5 · US Could be fun: Has lots of potential, but too many ads. Long ad after every level. More time watching ads than playing game
  19. [R60] Castle Wreck 2/5 · US Ads overkill: This is an enjoyable mini-game, but the ads are absolutely incessant. I understand that free apps utilize ads to have a profit but the rounds take no more than 15-30 seconds to complete and then you are hit with another ad. Its overkill to say the least and its what lead me to delete the app.
