Bricks n Balls

This game is great for those stolen moments when you don't have 30 minutes to waste on an RPG: waiting at a cafe for a friend, in an Uber, on the toilet. It's a lot of fun and pretty satisfying. But the controls need a lot of improvement, especially aiming your "cannon." It's just way too easy to aim and then have the ball go a bit north or south of your aiming point. Breathe wrong and your ball goes flying. A two-step aim instead of a drag and release would help tremendously.

I've figured out a way to stop all the ad spamming!! I haven't watched a single ad in the last ten minutes! I haven't bought the membership, I haven't made any purchase. I figured out that instead of tapping the next or replay buttons when I'm finished a level, instead, I close the whole app and start it fresh again! It takes less time than it would to actually watch an ad, even the ones you can skip after a few seconds. No more ads! Yay! Stop spamming and I'll start watching ads again.

The game can be adequately challenging and addicting. My issue is that I paid for the ad free version, but still constantly get ads for their "diamond membership." If I paid for ad free, it should be ad free, period. Also, I cannot find a way to hard reset my progress. I am on something like level 450, and I would like to reset back to level 1. If the ability is there, I can't find it.

Constantly crashing since June update. Yes the ads are annoying (and I paid to remove some of them), however, this was resolved by the June 2019 updates. Now, instead of adverts, you just don't get to see them because it continually crashes after launching. Yes I miss playing the game, but the great thing is I'm now forced to do "something else". Turns out I've got a wife and she likes to talk. I've tried it and it's fun. Keep the crashes coming as it's given me life back, so thank you!

I paid to remove ads, but now I get a nag screen to subscribe to the premium service for $8 US *per week* whenever I launch the game or switch modes. It's extremely annoying and I would not recommend this to anybody who prefers an ad-free environment, ESPECIALLY if they're willing to pay the money to remove the ads. The game is a a fun, mindless way to pass the time and is otherwise enjoyable to play. Minus two stars for the damn nag screens.

The game has now twice decided to "resync" and thrown me back many levels. The first time, I can somewhat accept as I changed phones. The second time I had just completed a level, only to have a message pop up and be thrown back to the exact same level it took me back to a week ago. I love this game, but I've lost two weeks of progress because of some dodgy synchronisation issues. There is no point in playing if this keeps happening.

The ads are very intrusive and long.. I wish there was a paid version to get rid of the ads. The gameplay is fun and casual.. similar to the old-school Breakout game. It's not very challenging but enough to keep you entertained for some time. After a while it can get monotonous and boring.. I'm not sure if this game will last long in my library. And did I say the ads were very intrusive and annoying?

Good game to pass time. It's not boring since it involves more strategy than all of the matching blocks of color games and slot machine games out. But even after paying to not have ads there are still ads to buy another upgrade that you have to click out of every time you go to the main menu, which is annoying. Maybe show it once or twice a day, but every time?? It just makes me want to upgrade less.

It's a nice game and quite addictive but there is a detail: and it's not just the overwhelming ads (you can make it easier by turning off the Wi-Fi and data). When playing the gravity mode, it doesn't count correctly. You can have 28 balls to hit a 28 point brick, most of the balls are powered up and supposed to make a 2 point hit... and yet, you get left with that 1 brick although it was supposed to be destroyed long ago. It's frustrating.

The game itself is a lot of fun and it is definitely worth spending a few bucks to turn off the ads(which are extremely annoying and in your face on the free version. Some are near impossible to close... Probably a bad implementation.). The only thing that could make it better is to quit prompting so much to join the diamond club. It's expensive and I don't want it. After the 10th time clicking the X, you would think that it would be clear. Oh well. If the diamond club thing was fixed, then it would be a 5 star highly addictive game.

It is fun but I will admit it has way too many ads. After each level it prompts a window that constantly asks to buy gems. And every now and then an ad will pop up right over the the "X" that closes the "gem ad" and you would end up clicking on the ad. It's so annoying! I get pop ups already why layer another one on top. Also, there is a subscription service for this game to be ad free. And it's about $8 A MONTH. This game is fun but not that fun. Gonna have to pass.

The game is fun but the ads ruin any good you feel. The game is designed to get your cash. The ads:You see an ad after every level on the game, which is fine. I've got no problem with that. What kills me are the 30 second ads you can't close. they pop up about every other level. Definitely a game to play in airplane mode. The design:The game is pretty fun but it constantly annoys you to buy stuff. Some levels are designed to not let you finish without a special. Then you run out of them.

A fun game (when you actually get to play). However, there are too many ads for my taste. I find myself disliking the game more and more because of them. There are ads at the top of every level, 30 second ads after every attempt (pass or fail), and an option to pay for no ads. Ads are a great source of revenue to keep this app free, but I don't agree with ads overtaking the game in the process. I'll happily give a higher rating if ads were reduced to after passing every 5th level.

The game is highly addictive. You can't stop playing it once started. The concept is very simple, but is nicely implemented. Only downside with the free version is too many ads. Another issue is the undo button - it is placed where your fingers might end up accidentally during the game play, and there is no confirmation for action which makes it really problematic. I have lost my points multiple times due to this. I really wish this is corrected.

The Good: It's actually four similar games in one, lots of fun, and addictive. The Bad: So many ads! Oh, you thought you'd get rid of ads by paying for the premium "No Ads" level? Ha ha ha, No! You still get tons of ads, they're just internal ads now. Mostly for their super premium level subscription service - which, by the way, can cost more than an Xbox Game Pass. Every day. Numerous times per day. You know, just in case you didn't notice it the first ten thousand times they blocked the screen with it.

It's a good game but it becomes too difficult after level 100. I stuck at level 126 for month and for me there is no way to solve that level. I like a little challenge in a game but every level should be easy to solve after several tries. They might have made it difficult on purpose so you must buy additional gimmicks to solve levels. However, I give 4 stars anyway because the idea of the game makes fun and the performance is good. But I won't play it anymore, except they modify the levels to make it easier.

3 stars. The game is addicting. But after every few levels the ads start coming more and more. At some point they come after every level and failed level. It wouldn't be a big deal (gotta make revenue somehow) but the ads are mostly 30 seconds. No 15 second or 10 or 5. all 30. This is something you see frequently in some games. They need to find that balance between gameplay and advertising. Unfortunaly they haven't figured it out.

Fun for a little while, but the ads, and the levels get boring and super difficult, it is a game definitely made around seeing tons of ads, or making you crazy enough to purchase the ad free, and it just is not acceptable these days where there are games that are completely free and no ads. Horrible. cause it could be a real fun game that I would play all day long.

Sad ad grab. I bought the no ad option but had it only a few days before an error took it out. No response from developer. Good workaround.. after finishing a level, close out the game and reopen it. It's a pain, but it's faster than watching a 30 second uncloseable ad. Best game of 2018? LOL.. that's debatable, and anyway, it's nearly 2020. The game is a fair time waster, and would be more enjoyable if it were ad-free, but I'm not paying twice.

Super fun, and the balls make a really cute sound when they hit the bricks. This game starts off easy and fun in the first hundred levels and then progressively gets more and more difficult. Edit: -2 stars! The update made this game almost impossible to play unless you earn (very slowly) or purchase additional items to complete a level. Also the ads are repetitive, intrusive, and ceaseless. It's disappointing because I loved this game.

It's a fun game and requires patience. Too many ads? Yes, but deal with it. In-game purchases are ridiculuosly expensive. BUT, You DO NOT have to spend money to advance. I am on Level 342 in Classic mode, have 3 stars on each previous level and I don't spend money. They have started a contest that takes place in Classic mode. The contest appears to run for 5 days and start every other week. There have been 2 of them - I have finished 1st in both; WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME. Just deal with the ads.

I would give this game a higher rating if not for two factors: 1. It's pay to win. There have been several levels that were nearly impossible to get through without spending in-game currency and eventually real money. 2. I paid for ad removal but now I'm being prompted on every login with an ad to buy into their weekly subscription and it's annoying!

I paid to remove ads and still get a massive, full-screen ad asking me to subscribe to a $99/year subscription for added features. It pops up every time I open the app, and every time I try to close it. I did not pay to remove ads just to have a massive unavoidable pop up ad that shows up 2 times whenever I try to play the game. Decent game, not great, but the ad is ridiculous. I contacted them through email and still haven't heard back.

Fun games but annoying ads after buying. I liked the game, so I bought it to get rid of ads and support the developer. But every time I opened it, I was asked to join a weekly $8 membership for the game. That's just awful! The games are great fun, but being hit involuntarily with ads after I've paid is a bridge way too far. Also, it regularly fails to open to a saved game state even after leaving the game for a quick text. Terrible app handling.

A 30 second AD after every, single, game, win or lose. You'll spend most of the time watching ADs. Constant (and I do mean constant) haggling to buy something. The stuff you win while playing, you have to pay money to get access to it.. Lame.. It starts off really fun and addicting... After a while, you get to a point where it really is impossible to win, without purchasing something. Once that point is reached, there is no more fun. Uninstalled less than a week after installing.

Great fun until you get to the mid 300 levels and above. Then to complete some levels you must use bonus points not skill to advance to the next level. If you refuse to purchase points for $.99 to $99 as I do, you will have to watch countless adds to gain points to complete a level. As of today, I am hitting uninstall. There may be a gamer out there that can master these levels without using a bonus, but I have a feeling there is NOT. Had a lot of fun early on.

There are SO MANY ADS. Before every round you play, before every move you make on the home screen there is an ad, and long ones too, not something you can just click away but 30 full seconds. Yes the game is free and they need to make money somehow, but I feel like I am watching television in the 90s again! The actual game itself was enjoyable, but I just couldn't relax and enjoy it with the constant waiting and clicking away ads.
