Fun and relaxing game
I enjoyed this fun and laid-back match 3 marble game. I really liked the physics and that I could use it to my advantage to push marbles around a bit. The goal of matching the puzzle pieces, rather than simply clearing the jar, also kept the strategy interesting. The added difficulty of features like locked marbles helped make the game challenging. Aesthetically, the backgrounds were pretty and serene and moving elements like clouds and weather were a nice touch. Fun game!

Interesting Change Of Pace
Overall this was a good change of pace from HOG. As an M3 game, the added physics factor makes it interesting. I'm not sure, but I think that being able to add a Zen factor by optionally eliminating/reducing the time factor might broaden its appeal.

It's okay
If you want a change from the usual match 3, then this might be for you. I too found it boring about 10 minutes in and did not complete the trial.

Disappointing Game
I did NOT like this game at all. Several times i ran out of time and that is in the early stages. There is no level of difficulty and there is the hated TIMER. There are no different bowls to choose from.
Often the sequel is better than the original but this is NOT the case with this game. The original is MUCH BETTER IMHO. You can play the original at various degrees of difficulty, even without timer and also with different shapes of bowls. I love this game.
I would recommend "Jar of Marbles II" for people who love fast paced marble poppers.

Prefer the first one.
I enjoyed the first one. Bought it. Still have it. This one was no where near as good. I stopped after 10 minutes and turned it off.

Bubble Shooting Game
Small bubbles, quite boring. Graphics is ok though

Do Not buy this game
Timer is the problem here. No way to build up your skill before the timer goes off and the game is over.

Not my cup of tea
I am a fan of Match 3 games so looked forward to giving this one a try. Marble shooters are not among my tops, but hey, I'll give it a whirl. Bored me to death. Not enough movement, just wore me out. Played through the demo, but that was enough for me. Graphics are good, music was okay, but gameplay was tedious.

Good Fun, But....
There's one major flaw with this game, and that is that there's no sign-on as player, therefore only one person can ever play this game unless you're happy to share your score! I'm NOT! I don't understand why any game writer would do this, and it should be addressed a.s.a.p. Other than that, this is a fun game, challenging without being frustratingly difficult.

As addicting as they come!
I'm a big fan of Match 3 games, and this one was a hit for me. I love the graphics, overall feel of the game, and I love the added challenge of the marbles being affected by gravity. I can get lost in this game for hours!
