Roll the Ball™ - slide puzzle

When I first installed this I enjoyed it, eventually I stopped playing it for quite a long time. I just got back to it and found that 75% of my time was waiting for ads to complete. After I post this, I am uninstalling this time waster.

From 5 stars to 1. The game is now to spot the cross to close the ads as quickly as possible. A bit like whack the mole but without the fun. Take your time to roll the ball otherwise another ad will come and get you.

Update: the problem described below was cured by uninstalling from my tablet and phone, and reinstalling on my phone. So now works ok. So 4* rather than 2*. I have a problem with the 'Remove Adverts' payment. I paid for this on my tablet, successfully removing the adverts. But my tablet is slow so I installed the game on my phone. This plays ok, but with adverts. When I click 'Remove Adverts' it says 'Error you already own this item', which is true, but I am still getting adverts on my phone.

Ridiculously too much ads. As you start to get into the game, an add pops up and just throws you off, thereby de-motivating you. Absolute turnoff. Never seen so much ads in a game on my life. App is now uninstalled. Madness!

It is very simple. Get the ball where it needs to go; however, using star 'pipes' over regular pipe tiles make it more challenging. I just started and i'm already halfway through the game. Some tiles are unmoveable and make you really think about what you should move. I love it, but I wish the grid was bigger and more challenging. I'll have to delete it once i'm finished :( Edit: I SPOKE TOO SOON. There's tons more levels. When I started the game I didn't even see the menu since it just throws you right into it. 😍 Yesss!

A simple and elegant idea, but it needs a little more done with it. There are no new mechanics introduced at least up to the third section of levels, and the difficulty scales incredibly slowly - even at that point, only one in about ten levels posed enough challenge to be even mildly interesting. Oh, and you can't skip levels to get to the harder ones, and there are a lot per section. I got bored before reaching any interesting levels - assuming there are any.

This game is too much fun to play in bored time. But i feel levels are to easy .

This is a top notch game. It really gives the brain a workout, requiring you to polish up and use those rusty parts! All puzzles are solvable, and even the most difficult are, in essence, quite simple once you see them finished. It's a matter of concentrating on how you want each entire puzzle picture to look and work as a whole whilst tweaking the individual pieces. The graphics are great. Gameplay is smooth and bug-free. I love this game! Suggestion: Don't change gameplay, but add new colors.

Great game. Pity about the incessant ads. I understand the necessity of ads but this is just too much. The effects and sounds could be a bit less also. Edit-- Actually it seems only in the first level that the ads are so very frequent (i.e. after each puzzle instead of each three or so). When I played the game before (last year or so) it wasn't like that.

It's not really fun but it is addictive. The levels take a long time to start getting anywhere near challenging which isn't a good sign. Also, very concerning is the percentage of how many got past the level increases over time. It doesn't seem like a legitimate number and if it is, than the math being used is not sufficient. There are an above average amount of ads but they don't seem excessive like some describe. All in all, not really worth it or rewarding but not worth uninstalling either.

This game would be great if it were not for all the ads. Even when I select' next', and I do not select 'video' for an extra hint, it plays an ad video anyway. Every single ad is for another game. If I put all those games on my phone and played them all, I would be playing games 24/7. Overwhelming folks with too many ads just makes them not want to get anything. It's not possible to enjoy this game, when in between 8 out of 10 screens you have to watch another ad, whether you want to or not. Takes away the otherwise relaxing effect this game would have, and makes it stressful. I'm uninstalling it.

Love this game! The design is simple yet attractive, and I love that every time you make the goal, you get a free hint. The ads are frequent but not as obtrusive as other games (and dont play w/out wifi). Only complaints is the sounds get really annoying after awhile, but there IS an option to turn them off. And though I personally like how gradually it gets more challenging, most people would prefer that to go faster.

Game can be played on or offline, which makes it a great camping game. Some levels are easy, but some are definitely challenging, as in most puzzle games. For under a one-time payment of $2, you can avoid watching ads between levels. Other than that expense, no in-app purchases were needed. Hints are free for winning some levels or you can watch an optional video.

So many ads! I think this is a fun puzzle game but what angers me is there is a 30 second ad between each puzzle or every time you make a change to the page you are on even when navigating the game menu. Even worse, you can turn sound off in the game but not the ads, you have to manually silence each one or turn the volume off on your phone. That's really poor design.

Ads play after every few levels. Combine that with the fact that levels remain fairly easy/quick to complete, even after making it decently far into the game, and you end spending about as much time viewing ads as you do playing the game. Plus there are issues with the game freezing when loading an ad, requiring you to restart the app.

Game is fun but the ads are waaaaay too long compared to how much time I spend on each level, especially since I'm still in the early levels. I spend less than a minute on the level, then have to watch a 30 second ad to get to the next. Even trying to quit the game prompts an ad! Very annoying and makes me no longer want to play.

The amount of ads compared to gameplay is unbearable. I spend more time watching ads than playing. The difficulty never ramps up so I get bored quickly (or ramps up so unbelievably slowly that it would take hundreds of hours of ads to notice). Great graphics and an awesome game ruined by a ridiculous amount of ads. Reduce the adverts to once every two or three levels and increase the difficulty faster and I would give it 5 stars. If the difficulty ramped up faster I would consider paying.

Lots of ads, but an Ok game. I would rather there were some more challenging levels, because it is boring getting past all the easy enough levels. It takes too long to get to the intersting levels. Similar games have less ads (or none). However, I do like the free hints every so often. Would like it more with fewer ads and more challenging levels earlier in the game. If you change things as requested, this game is worth at least 4 stars.

The game itself is quite addictive, however, it does require some patience whilst playing. It takes it's time to load on some occaisions and the adverts are between each stage, each lasting 30 seconds (if you don't get a small fast forward button). This can make the game play very tedious and a person can lose interest. Otherwise it is an enjoyable game, quite clever really.

Absolutely a fun game. However, too many ads. If you're one to play games in small burst of times through the day (/or you're flipping back and forth between apps) you have a 75% of getting an ad after returning, even if you just got one before leaving. After you beat every other level you get an ad (many have to be muted everytime they appear), wouldn't be as bad however as with any puzzle games they have some levels easier than others so if you're having a winning streak be prepared for ads.

I don't think "test your IQ" is accurate for this game. It's a simple tile sliding puzzle game where you have to connect the path from the ball to the goal. There are different gameplay modes, like having to turn pieces or move the piece with the ball on it, but it would be nice if the puzzles didn't feel so random. You can get a hard level and an easy one right after. Also, the game sometimes freezes after finishing a level. I'd like if there were other color schemes instead of Western style.

Like the game, too many ads. Started out fine then after only a few levels in I was hit with an ad for other games after only completing 2 game boards, sometimes even after finishing 1 game board. I got frustrated because each ad turns off Pandora, or shuts it down completely, and doesn't turn it back on when returning to the game. I had the game sound off. Ads should then also have no sound.

It's somewhat annoying that I paid for an ads-free game only to be bombarded every three or four levels with pop ups anyway. Constantly being prompted to rate the game or connect it to my Google account is annoying. Not a deal breaker, but I very much wish it wouldn't keep happening. Other than that, it's a fun game. Fairly challenging but a nice time waster that makes you think. I would give it four stars if not for the pop ups issue.

An ad EVERY level? Seriously? I used to love this game, but I won't be playing it again until the number of ads are reduced. This is way too many - and so annoying. It's not an incentive to either click on any of the ads, nor buy a paid version of this game if it exists. EDIT: 12 mths later and this game is still annoying with an ad every level. Deleting again - there's a very fine line between tolerable and annoying number of ads.

Fun game! I finished all the levels, all three stars. Also finished all the achievements. Recommended! Yet, THREE HUGE BUGS IN THE GAME: 1. I saved my progress many times in my Google account, yet after reinstalling the game and connecting to my account, no save was there. 2. Many times the blocks simply doesn't move. I had to click on some button to get the game out of its freezing state. 3. In "Carry the Ball", many hints were gone when I asked for one, while the "Failed" sign was popped.

Ads ruin it entirely. I'm not even going to try and talk about the actual game - which is slightly above 'meh' - because: Nearly every puzzle; an ad. Answer a text... come back to an ad. Let your phone's screen time out, wake it up to... yup you guessed it! Oh here's the kicker, about one in 6-7 times it tries to load one of said ads, it freezes. You barely spend half the time 'playing the game' actually playing it. ...Barely.

Onslaught of ads. One puzzle, ad, one puzzle, ad, etc. I'm install games for sometimes less than a day because of excessive ads. I understand developers have to make money, I do. But it takes something enjoyable and makes it frustrating. Developers should just remove their free versions period. Play a short example of the game to show what a customer is getting and just charge for the download. No more selling us dreams. lol. Peace

Wow so many ads!! One after every puzzle! Each 30 secs long, and always the same ads too! I played until level 60 and can beat most puzzles under 30 sec, which means I was watching more ads than actually playing. It's a Fun and sometimes challenging game (4 stars) that I'd pay $1.99 for if that was an option. Had to uninstall, so annoying!

So many advertisements! It honestly ruins the game. I understand it's a free game, but I'm getting an unskippable ad after every single level!!! And then there's the ads that run on the bottom of the screen during the level. I've only gotten through level 53 but the amount of time playing the game is short compared to the time "watching" advertisements!

Simple to play, yet a totally addictive puzzle game. I prefer to play offline, with only the very occasional Google prompt asking to login via Google for additional bits (which I've ignored). Return to where you left off is easy, as is changing the game mode. I've been playing daily for about 4 days, off and on. Good graphics. Very good free puzzle game. 👍
