Sparkle Epic Reviews

Pretty Much a Scam Now

blackberrieGirl

The higher the levels the more it actually slows down when you try to shoot orbs. It also declares the orbs are falling when they clearly aren’t there yet. This version is designed to make you pay not only to play but to win. Epic Fail.

I have an Idea

bobrek

Make a tower defense version where you can place orb slingers to shoot the orbs and some orbs maybe have more health? And maybe you could make different types of slingers, I hope you like my idea btw I LOVE ALL OF THE SPARKLE GAMES!!!!

Adictive.

This is the only iPhone game I really play at all. Simple but challenging. Addictive and well made. And the best part NO FREAKING ADS after every level.

Love it!

I’ve been looking for a luxor replacement, and this is perfect. Top-notch graphics, smooth gameplay, and it doesn’t drain your battery too quickly. Very minimal ads, and I haven’t paid anything to progress. Thank you for this game!

Trying to force users to pay

So, was a big fan of the first game. This game is quite good and I enjoy the challenge. Having said that it's super obvious the developer is trying to milk it for all it's worth. So far I seem to be getting my ads every level at this point, I assume this is because I've only lost once, shortly after the bombs feature. Many of the new features, particularly the bombs, combine with the lack of lives to make the game very difficult without paying, paying to remove the ads won't fix that. Fellow players, yes it is possible to play without paying, it's just really hard. Devs, maybe next time don't be so obviously greedy, I'd pay a one time purchase, I'm guessing many would, but I'm not paying again and again for in game stuff.

Force to pay by making it impossible to beat

I am very disappointed in this game. I’ve played the previous version and loved it. However, despite being a visually beautiful game, this game is designed to be unbearable without paying for in-app purchases. For instance, upon reaching Day 39 (a level in this game) the developers make it impossible to beat without assistance from special power ups that you must purchase. While they do provide the ability to earn free lives (attempts to beat the level) you must wait 25 minutes to get another attempt. Instead they should offer ads as an option to earn a free life or upgrades.

Money grab

Wonder why there is no new sparkle games, because they are focusing there efforts in ripping you off with trash like this. Just make a good game and let us pay for it, why this nickel and dime BS? The future of gaming is pathetic at best... stay away!

Glitch

I honestly love this game, but it has happened more than once that the the game resets to the beginning when I’m at like level 130, and yeah it makes the whole experience terrible.

Constantly requires money

Falex99

Agree with other reviews that said this could be a great Luxor replacement - the marbles look and feel the same, almost has the same gameplay (minus the amazing music, sound effects and emotion that Luxor gave you) - BUT - even after spending a little bit of money on upgrades, EVERY useful upgrade or power-up in the game is designed to run out, and therefore require you to keep purchasing a couple more to get through the next few levels. I wish we could go back to the days of simply purchasing a game at the outset at a reasonable price and getting all the features you need to enjoy the game instead of the “death of 1000 cuts” that we have today.

Addictive gameplay that gets expensive fast

Dan Giulvezan

The gameplay is fun and reminds me a lot of an old game called Zuma by PopCap in the early 2000s (too much maybe? It’s like a clone of that game but with a new skin). But that okay; as a fan of that game, I’m happy to be able to play it again. My biggest issue is with how high the difficulty gets on some levels. It sometimes gets so high that it would be impossible to finish without spending money on in app purchases, which isn’t fair.
