Later levels get annoying – Marble Blast Legend Review

Starts off quite fun and there's no real need to spend any money; but the levels quickly get too hard and player skill can't help... the levels from the 20s onward are just frustrating and impossible. The chains move too fast, the colors are staggered so you can't get combos, the marbles that pop up for you to shoot from your cannon are sequenced so you can't get anything done, and the path circles around and suffocates your cannon so you can only shoot very limited sections of the chain (which I remind you is moving too fast to keep up). As if that's not bad enough, there is usually a 90-second or 2 minute time limit in those higher rounds removing all hope of being successful. Hard is challenging; impossible is just frustrating. You wind up emptying your in-game currency on each new round to buy more time to beat it just so you can unlock the next increasingly frustrating level. Then you go back and play the first few easy levels over and over to refill your coins to buy your way through that new level. For free, the game is worth getting for the first 10 levels or so, which you can replay to keep increasing your high score and improving your tactics, but even though I have scores around 70,000 for all the early levels, the later levels are all still impossible for me. I'm on level 35 now and I rarely ever bother to play anything higher than about level 7.
