There are a lot of games in the App Store that fall in to this "genre" and with the recently released Marble Blast Mobile and the new update to HydroTilt, I want to know which one is the best. Most of the games have different objectives and gameplay but they are in the same "genre" and usually you have to get from point A to point B. Marble Blast Mobile ($4.99) Forum Thread . Super Monkey Ball ($5.99) Forum Thread . HydroTilt XL ($4.99) Forum Thread . Rollit ($1.99) Forum Thread . Ball-X ($1.99) Forum Thread . Super Marble Roll ($2.99) Forum Thread .
I've tried Marble Blast Mobile, Super Monkey Ball, and Hydro Tilt XL. Hydro Tilt and SMB are pretty different, but Monkey ball is better. Marble Blast Mobile has clunky buttons on the screen, and it is more of a "collect the crystals" than moving through the level. So, ranked, from best to worst: 1. Super Monkey Ball 2. Hydro Tilt XL 3. Marble Blast Mobile
I think labyrinth games go in their own genre. If I wanted a labyrinth game I would have made a thread comparing all the labyrinth games. Thanks. I forgot to mention that I already have Super Monkey Ball and Rollit, I put them in this thread as well to make it more of a general comparison. I'm tilting towards getting HydroTilt as well.
I have Marble Blast and Hydrotilt, and both are very good. It really depends on what you like. Marble Blast is about collecting gems, while Hydrotilt is about using the various tools to reach the finish line. You can't go wrong with either, although I've heard of some lag with Marble Blast on older gen iPod Touches and iPhones.
I haven't seen too many labyrinth games. You roll a marble from point A to B, exactly what you were asking for.
I really wish Marble Blast Mobile had a lite version. I've played the online version of it and the lite version of HydroTilt and I'm torn between which one to get. The poll doesn't help either as it is 2 votes for each of them...
i have only hydrotilt from those mentioned in the poll, and all i can say about it is that it's easily one of the best games in app store. a lot of different levels, nicely done graphics and sounds, damn addictive. worth the current price. and about labyrinth discussion... i don't think labyrinth belongs here. those titles are having this "arcade" style... hard to explain but i just can't compare it to those. oh, and about other "labyrinth" games in app store - there is a new one called Fayju Ball, truly wonderful piece.
+1 on that. Also I'll probably get HydroTilt but I'll leave it a couple of days, I'm trying to cut down on app purchases, it's not really working... Also are there 60 levels now with the new update?
I have Marble Blast Mobile. It's pretty cool. It reminds me of Squashem, which I also have. There is more gameplay and variation in MBM... but in Squashem, you get to roll over screaming people, which is a plus.
i <3 these game! i <3 these game exept super monkey ball wich is bad even if i could get i free i wouldnt take it
I'm just too weak when it comes to Marble Blast, been addicted to all releases of that game ^^ / Alex
I ended up buying HydroTilt which was well worth my $4.99. I'm only on level 17 at the moment and with 60 levels it's going to take me a while to complete. I like how it's not just get the ball from A to B, instead it is more of a puzzle game with 3 different elements, ice, water and steam. Also the developers of the newly released Super Marble Roll gave me a promo code for their game which I highly recommend for $2.99. It's a very fun game but lacks a bit in terms of levels. I wrote a full review of it here. At the moment I think that HydroTilt is probably the best marble rolling game if you like puzzles as well. If not Super Marble Roll is a great choice. I haven't tried Marble Blast Mobile though. Also can a moderator take out the "(Not Released Yet)" from Super Marble Roll in the poll. Thanks!
