- Gorgeous artwork
- Realistic 3D physics
- Challenging gameplay
WHAT PEOPLE THINK:
- Cult of Mac Favourite: Think the lovechild of Labyrinth and MC Escher.
- TUAW: See, now this is the kind of game I want from my iPhone -- the accelerometer isn't just a gimmick thrown in with the gameplay, it's the actual premise of the game.
- FingerGaming.com: Combining the primitive, childlike futurism of 3D glasses with the physics capabilities of the iPhone, developer Drömsynt's Marble Madness riff is as enjoyable to marvel at as it is to play – and it’s a lot of fun to play.
- IndieGames.com: Then I discovered that the game can be played with 'stereoscopic rendering' turned on - i.e. stick a pair of 3D glasses on and out it pops. Wow is right.
- Slide To Play: Diorama is a beautiful, technically accomplished little ball-rolling game that is sure to p**s off even the most masochistic players.
- Tech Life: It's an excellent illusion, one that makes it look like your iPhone or iPod Touch's screen has given way to an actual space in another dimension.
- Forum member of TouchArcade: Just played the first 6 stages, beautiful little game. And today I found some fitting 3D glasses - WOW! This is just amazing. True pioneer work on this device, it really just looks awesome!
- Dugg at Digg: Cool indie IPhone game that uses visually stunning depth techniques to imitate 3D and has the ability to use stereoscopic techniques for holographic capabilities. Check out the video though it doesn't really do it justice.
NOTE:
When playing stereoscopically hold the device so that you can read the text left to right. Of course you can still tilt the device freely, just don't rotate it like a compass. This is necessary for the glasses to filter correctly.
What's New in Version 1.0.1
- Support for green/magenta glasses
- First three boards unlocked from the start (if you have already played version 1.0 and want to unlock boards 1-3 you need to reinstall the application)

Horrible controls...
I have never written a review for an app, but had to warn people away from this app. The controls are the worst I've seen on the iPhone. At once unresponsive and over-sensitive; set the phone down and watch as the ball continues to roll around. Fix the controls, or pull this failure of an app.
Great idea & 3d graphics, but hard to control
Poor controls...really frustrating!!
Could be improved with better physics and accuracy!
Update before we delete!!
Diorama
Like others have said, gameplay (even if realistic) is too frustrating to be worth the effort. It's beautiful visually, especially with 3D glasses on, but it's supposed to be a game—unless the title Diorama means it's just a display to look at.
