What Makes Gluddle Stand Out
Free the Gluddle from The Supervision in this eye-catching bouncy game for iPhone and iPad!
Aim and shoot springy globular characters called Gluddle. Freeze them in mid-air to help other Gluddle bounce about and defend their privacy and freedom from the evil eyes-in-the-sky…The Supervision!
It's pinball meets trampoline, it's Peggle meets Angry Birds, it's a totalitarian invasion eye-to-eye with a resilient resistance.

Reviews:
"There truly is no other game quite like Gluddle." – IndieGameMag
"Clever and well-realized, rock-solid, highly addictive gameplay. These goofy eyeballs bounce into near-perfect physics perfection." – Kotaku
"Gluddle made me laugh. Several times. Out loud. (…) It’s a puzzle, a physics game, and there’s a lot to figure out, and the thing is, you can’t lose, and it makes you laugh. It is fun. Major Fun. It will make you laugh. It will keep you playing. It will make you laugh some more." – Majorfun.com
"Gluddle, which is one of the most addictive physics-based iOS games I’ve come across, has just been bumped to version 2.0. In its initial state, Gluddle is already a fantastic physics puzzler. But now, in its updated version, the game is even more so." – AppAdvice
"Gluddle is a fantastic, creative game that doesn’t just copy the mechanics of other puzzle titles, it takes them, mashes them together, and pushes them farther than they have been previously, and has had some great support through updates from the developers. For that, it’s definitely worth checking out." – TheAppShack
"Lots of physics-based knock out games will really raise your blood pressure (Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are notorious for this). For some reason, Gluddle doesn’t do this. It’s mellow." – BestKidsApps
"It’s like throwing a bouncy ball very hard indoors and seeing what it smashes. Fun, in other words." – Games Asylum
"Wa-Wa-wow! This game is absolutely immense!" – WeDoCode
"When George Orwell sat down to write dark dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, he couldn't have known that he would one day inspire Gluddle, a physics-based iOS puzzler where you dislodge spying Big Brother-style eyes in the sky." – Eurogamer App of the Day
"Gluddle is a solid title. This hidden gem is packed with amusing gameplay, impressive music and colorful graphics that make it one of the top physics-puzzler games in my book." – AppsOnTap
"That game is confusing, obscure, weird and has a soundtrack that is almost annoying. Played the demo for a couple of minutes, fell in love with it and bought the full version. Great job, and great game!" – ZombieGorilla
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Asking for permission to have our location and connecting with us on Twitter is one thing, but why would it require access to our camera. We're not normally paranoid about these kinds of things but after it wouldn't let us refuse access to the camera we deleted the app. That's just weird.
We have enjoyed this game for the past couple of days. It is worth it to buy the full app and go thru all the levels. We don't understand how the scoring works but that is ok, it is still fun to try to beat the Supervision. It is also funny to hear the comments they make when you tap their eyeball/target. You can go back to past levels to try for a better score. The "Oi" sounds can be quite annoying when the bouncing gets overactive! We would like to see more levels with more obstacles like the inflating balloons in the last two levels.
This game is blatantly stupid and the oy oy oy sounds Are irritating. You shot a ball at an eye with red circles. When you hit the ball you win the level. We made it through 3 levels before we gave up from boredom.
This is the only game we keep our sound on for. Genius.
Gluddle is our new obsession. The gameplay is perfect for a quick game, but it's easy to get caught up in the game and play for an hour or longer. The soundtrack is brilliant. A fantastic game all around. You should buy it! Buy it now.
Original game mechanic of bouncing successive balls you freeze mid-air off each other to reach new places is astonishingly versatilelevels feature everything from anti-grav to portals and shifting, magnetic floating clumps. Dynamic music and hilarious rhythm-matched sound effects get you in the groove. Slick HD/Retina graphics; extremely high level of polish and attention to detail throughout. Achievements & Game Center. Orwellian themed comic relief everywhere :-) Stick it to The Supervision! Oi.
We purchase the full version and when we tried to install it get stuck on waiting mode. So we can't do anything like throw it in the trash and try to install it again. Can anyone help. We love this game.
This is a real fun game this is a 5+. Love the oi sound especially when it bounces off a bunch of blocks. It will actually make u laugh out loud….. Easy to learn don't need much tutoring…..got 2 get it guys u won't be sorry.
Stylish and strange. Very fun game. The soundtrack is hilarious! Well worth the purchase.
This is a sleeper hit waiting to be discovered. Gluddle's gameplay is a hybrid of Peggle and Angry Birds with a dash of Orwellian weirdness thrown in for good fun. Highly recommended! Check out Magnetic Billards if you like unique games like Gluddle.
Easy to learn. Great if repetitive soundtrack.
This Is, A Must Have Game, Really Great Game 5+++ And The Music Is Out Of This WORLD!!! "Please Try It" You Won't Be Sorry.
