Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We miss when it wasnt as popular and the whole game was free and it didnt have that much ads to it.. And the orb thrower was more accurate.. Im not paying 6.00 for a game. We missed this game but its high price is disappointing.
We leve this game but after beating level 23 it tells you to pay$5.99 to play level 24-the hole game but why do we need to pay.
Great game, nice music and all but its not worth $6. We feel like Im playing the same levels over and over again.
We enjoyed playing the game, and pay the 599 for the full version. When we picked up our other iPad to play the game, much to our surprise this game expects us to pay 599 again to play the full version on our other device. This is the only game we have ever had that expected that from us. We dont think so, not that much fun.
People, please stop whining because this game isnt as easy or beatable as Sparkle or Sparkle 2 was – if you want easy, go back to those games & play em again. There is nothing wrong with Sparkle Unleashed and many, many right things. Same extremely high-quality graphics, same smooth motion, fun to play, challenging to just the right level. Pay them their $6! We all spend more than that for an AM drink or a PM lunch – and this is One and Done… We own all three of the first four Sparkle games (mentioned above) and each one was WELL worth it. Great game to veg out a bit, enjoy yourself, and relax while making progress. Buy this, you will NOT regret it.
This update was necesary! Thanks.
Every time we turned around we could buy this or this or this…. Very frustrating if you dont want to spend .99 to buy more lives or wait for every 30 minutes to receive a new life. Am a big fan of the other Sparkle games, just so that you know what we are writing about.
We paid 6 bucks for sparkle, and there wasn't one update on it that we recall. Now they update it and they want another $6 bucks. We don't think so sparkle.
10Tons never disappoints with any of the additions to this series. We truly appreciate the attention to detail and undeviating from the storyline. The narrators voice has become synonymous with this series for us, and we love that. Please keep producing them. Just a note: Please do NOT make anymore of the pay to play variety.
We've read the reviews of others on all these games and we can't agree with anyone who gave a bad review. We've mastered every game and every level of difficulty and keep playing it over again. We really enjoy them…also the Pixie game made by 10Tons, ltd.
The original was a classic and we're glad the new one doesn't disappoint! (:.
This is probably our favorite game in the App Store. We also love the music, it makes the game feel very mysterious but also friendly, like you are in another world.
Pleasantly challenging game with really great music.
Love this game- simple in concept and design but challenging. We don't play video games for hours at a time like our kids but we have found ourselves staying up a bit too late to complete a level.
We've always love the sparkle games, but this is definitely a step forward. The sparkle games are a lot of fun. Even the story is kind of cool.
We want to tell you that all of tour Sparkle games are the best!! We are addicted to all of them! Please keep making new ones, but we always go back to the old ones because they are so good! Keep up the great wor.
Great little game. The best part is the music, which reminds us of our beloved lost Aurora Feint: The Beginning. We used to play that game every single night to unwind before falling asleep. Developers, we would be so happy if you could make an Aurora Feint inspired game! It's been many years and we STILL can't find a worthy replacement that combines soothing fantasy music with a match-3 tile game in which the tiles scroll off the board vs. Simply falling into place (too easy!). Based on Sparkle Unleashed, we think your team can make a worthy Aurora Feint-esque 2016 version.
All three of Sparkles games are great fun; however do still prefer the original 2. Great work.
-we truly enjoy this fame and hope you keep playing! But we and other IPad/IPhone users will NOT be able to continue once the next update takes place, as your game needs to update! The game is fun! We like to play! But this app needs to be updated now for those playing on an IPad or IPhone. The system keeps warning the next update will render it unplayable if not updated immediately. We hope you do so, as this game is fun. C'mon guys! Get the game updated.
It is. This is crazy boring. Get eyelord instead.
Got up to "Day 79" and the game be comes more about luck then skill. Board designed so that you can't make matches and the game just become retry after retry. Poor game development.
This game suffers from some serious programmatic errors (balls in the queue changing colors for no reason, colors appearing in queue that are not in play, queue artificially stacked to make level completion nearly impossible), wildly inaccurate controls (balls going a considerable distance off from where placed), poor design (power ups inexplicably jumping way up behind rows of balls making them inaccessible, balls passing thru other balls and going to rows behind jacking up the pattern, bridges and other features not working properly, power ups not working as described), and a greedy publisher that abandoned it a long time ago in favor of a pay-to-play version. There are much, much better games out there.
This is so annoying. We love Sparkle games, but this new in-app purchases version is driving us crazy. We don't mind them making money on extras. It looks like you can pay for the full game and play. But we can't continue without paying in bits, and we can't find how to unlock the full game.
Begged after every three levels to buy the full version, couldn't enjoy it enough to want to.
The Sparkle series are truly the highest quality game apps we have ever found. The graphics are beautiful, the music is well-chosen and lovely (not the ear-worm repetitive jingles of most apps). Everything the 10tons team did in these games is clearly well thought out and executed. We have never experienced a glitch in the Sparkle games. The game play is fun and very engaging, gradually easing you into harder levels, with great power ups. We have played a lot of the 3-match shooter games and Sparkle is top of the line. All 3 games are worth the price, not just because the game-play is great, but because you get real quality.
Great game but it is also only a couple of levels then they want you to download the full versions.
The Sparkle set of games is great if you like match 3 types of games.
We don't usually get addicted to simple games, but we love this one. We had no intention of buying the full version, but we had so much fun we had to. We've never played the other sparkle games, so we can't compare, but this game is a ton of fun for us.
We love this game we have bought some of their games and never regret a penny . This game remind us of our favorite marble shooter "stone loops of jurassica " we hope they bring it back !! But anyways keep the good work.
This game gets more difficult quickly, even with the soft colors and fun music. Be alert and play power ups as much as possible.
Our grandkids and we love all the different versions of this game !! We play the game through and then do it again.
We have all versions of Sparkle, and go back to them time and again. This one is a little different but also addicting.
This is very much like Zuma and easy to play on iPad. You do run out of levels quickly, and we purchased the full game, which we don't regret. The higher levels are very difficult. One thing we will say about this game the music is beautiful. This is the only game we play where we have not turned off the music.
Enjoyable and engaging. We appreciate paying only once.
This is an exciting, fun, fast paced, adventure of a puzzle game. We can't seem to put our iPad down since buying this game. We barely had time to write this review because the game is waiting.
Sparkle 1 & 2 were great but this is even better. If you liked the previous games you'll love this one. Our favorite marble shooter EVER.
Love this game, haven't been hooked on a game for a long time. We bought the full version.
This is a new test version. We really like it. Some say it is too expensive. Maybe so, but we love it.
One of the only games we constantly go to for stress relief. Great to play while waiting at the docs office or giving the kids a quick challenge. Helps to keep our mind sharp and our hand/eye coordination good.
Awesome action, fantastic graphics, and addicting gameplay makes this sequel to Sparkle 2 shine.
Should put retries in this game because without some people need practice.
This game is so great. We love bubble shooters and this is our new fav. The graphics are great and it plays great. We've had no issues with crashing or loading times. It's fantastic.
This game is really fun, the music is great, and the graphics for this sort of game are very pretty.
Fun and challenging. Another winner from 10 Tons.
All of your sparkle games are awesome, we need more levels and more sparkle.
Reminds us of Luxor for Xbox! Super super fun.
We always liked bubble shooters and this is the best we've seen yet. Graphics are amazing and the power ups make it very enjoyable. We recommend this to anyone that likes these sort of puzzle games.
Graphics are amazing. Levels are challenging. Takes some getting used to on shooting the ball from the bottom of the screen, but if we didn't like it we wouldn't have bought the game. Having some issues with crashing while game loads or when we get a notification for another game, but we believe that it is because we have the original iPad and the game is new. We really enjoy the game. It worth it's $5.99 price. It would be very helpful if they could fix the crashing whenever we get a notification. We almost get 5 stars on survive and then the game crashes because we get a notification so we have to start all over. Will give 5 stars when crashing is fixed.
Good game to play. Lot of levels. Wish there was more challenges or things coming at you.
Fun game with gorgeous graphics and music :).
