Leave a Review Bricks n Balls
Converts stars to cash?
One would think that you were playing for actual cash!
This is like playing a game at a carnival.
You know it’s rigged, but you play anyway.
You touch the screen to seen a preview of the ball path, you release and the balls go elsewhere! Sometimes it works in your favor. Often it simply blows a turn.
Three tiles are in a vertical row. The balls are released from a low angle and hit the bottom corner of the first tile (where you weren’t aiming), then proceeds to hit the bottom of the next ( instead of the middle), then the next corner of the third tile ( not the top )! Physically skewed.
A ball stream somehow manages to miss a free orange ball but one stray ball will bounce around and strike a multi strike icon
once, rendering it useless for future play.
Oh! Balls will somehow manage to return under the lowest tile, and you fail to clear that level by one strike!
Multiple tiles that need over 300 strikes buried amid blank spots, deflecting tiles and other high tiles.
You have to sit through an ad just to go to the home screen!?
Some of the ads are longer that playtime!
And the weekly fee to play ad free is crazy high. Parents, block all in app purchases! For yourself, your kids, friends, pets!
There are multiple daily rewards just for signing in, but you could blow a week’s worth and still fail a level.
I wrote this review after level 248. I’m on the verge of deleting this game permanently.Show lessDomn
Recent Update May have Killed it.
Been playing this game for a long time and it’s been great but the recent update slightly changed the physics in the game and I don’t know if it’s worth it. Before, when hitting the bottom corner of a block, the ball would continue ricocheting as if it hit any of its side, but now when it hits the bottom corner, it just shoots down to the bottom. I know this doesn’t seem like much to complain about but it makes a difference in the game: you hit less boxes and need to use more tools to beat the level and that, along with all the ads, just kills the game. Unless the developers undo this seemingly minor issue, this game is not worth playing - especially with the obnoxious ads.
UPDATE: Just realized I’m not the only one who felt this way. If the last update isn’t reverted, I’m deleting the app entirely. It’s not worth playing now but it would be if it was changed. ALSO, the balls always revert back to the original orange ball after each game. Just another unnecessary headache.Show lessmattimatic
Too Many Ads to play each game
The game is fun and addictive. However, you need “extras” to play at higher levels, which means you need more points to clear lines and more of the one daily item you get, so you have to watch up to 3 ads at 30 seconds each to get the extra ruby points you will need to play one game! One ad to give you a measly 20 points (you need a minimum of 120 points or 200 points to help clear lines at higher levels), one ad to play the game, and one more ad to get a spin of the dice to give you one to six additional balls for the current game you are playing.
If it takes a minute 30 seconds for each game, it isn’t quite as fun anymore and just takes too much time. I have mostly stopped playing it as a regular time-waster because of the ads. Too many other options.
Of course, you are able to opt out of ads for a weekly fee.Show lessLindseyJ91
Fun game, lousy support
Although the game is fun to playing, if you have any issues with it, it is impossible to reach any support option. The website for the developer shows contact information for every other program that they make except for this one. The contacts page of their web site lists emails for specific products, but no general contact email. Since there’s no other way to make contact with them other than email address and since there is no contact information listed for this specific game that ends up being futile. The site that they have social media connections do you Facebook Twitter and several others, however attempts to actually view their social media presence comes up blank.
Certain defects within the game need to be addressed, however without an avenue to contact them these cannot be reported. As such, as far as submitting improvements or bugs, this app has a dead end.Show lessSignal5
Good game, but . . .
I rarely write reviews, but I just feel like I need to respond to a trend I see repeatedly in games all over the App Store.
I thought this particular game was a good game, not great, but quite good. However I often see reviews that are lowered because the FREE game has ads in it! Now if the developer has not made a way to turn off these ads then I can accept that affecting the review. But I believe this game offered an option to pay $2.99 to disable the ads. To me, the developer has done everything possible to provide a good game while at the same time trying to earn a living.
Being that I’m older I easily remember the days where for a game on a PC you paid 20,30,40 or more dollars for a single game. It seems the mentality today is many people practically feel they are owed free games and those games had better be of the highest quality!
Developers are doing this for a living, they deserve to be paid. I’m shocked at how many high quality games are being sold for between 3-5 dollars. That’s a lot of work for a small return. I know many have in-app purchases, but they are optional.
Gas isn’t free, groceries aren’t free, clothes aren’t free, why should games be?
Regarding this game, I liked it, I paid the $3 to disable ads and I would recommend it for anyone not too cheap to support people who work for a living.
Thanks for hearing my support for app developers. - EdShow lessEFCJR
Fun ... until they try to scam you
This game was really fun in the beginning and I played it all the time. And then sketchy things started happening. First, it would tell me there were still lines to clear when there were none on the screen, forcing me to back out of the game and thus, conveniently not pass the level. Second, it would crash in the middle of a game causing me to lose my progress. Third, if I couldn’t finish a level at one time and had to pause it, it would start completely over when I came back. Also, there are rubies that you can earn and spend to get “cheaters” to help you clear levels. You get a free one each day an you can also watch up to 10 ads (15-30 seconds each) per day and earn 20 rubies per ad. Well, at the upper levels, it’s impossible to clear some of the screens without several of the cheaters (which are 100 rubies each), so it’s really not that fun. And then the ability to watch the ads to earn rubies went away, pretty much forcing me to buy them if I wanted to keep playing. Fork no.Show lessMinneapolis KFC
To many ads
I really enjoy this game when I get to actually play. I’ve been playing for over a month and am over level 200. There’s no instructions on how to play this game. You receive daily bonuses (which is a great feature) but I have no idea what most of them are and waste them just trying to find out. I have gotten a lot of stars, but have no idea what happens to them or how they can be exchanged for rubies. The other thing that is frustrating is that it is extremely expensive for a game. My choices are to sit through an ad between every round or pay $8wk or $20 month or $100 a year. I also would have to pay to get my bank that’s holding my rubies. It doesn’t even say if I paid the $8 for my bank, if I keep it or if I have to pay over and over again. I have given it 3 stars because the actual game is fun. The non fun aspects are starting to burn me out. I’ll be looking for a similar game soon without all of the ads and fees.Show lessEkBisby
Fun, needs a few improvements
I like the game... I’ve been looking for a game like this for a while... like an updated version of the original classic. I’d like it better if it had different graphics or colors. And the “events” they use are usually impossible if you don’t pay... I don’t wanna pay for a piggy bank but I’d like my rubies. It’d be nice to be able to use your rubies to buy power ups. And it needs better instructions... it’s the kind of game you have to play to learn (since there isn’t any instructions).
But that being said. I enjoy it and play it almost daily. There’s several versions... ie classic, etc. So far it’s keeping my interest. I enjoy playing a level til I get 3 stars and perfecting my game. It’s the perfect game to play if you don’t have a lot of time to play (you can play a little at a time or a lot at a time!) I like it so much I’ll continue to play for quite a while!Show lessthegreatone4
😕
It’s over all a great idea, but- I’m constantly hit with adds😩, and there seems to be multiple bugs in the game. I would have loved ❤️to continue playing this game, but , well, when I go to play a game, I’m not looking for a game that constantly pops up with adds. Especially when the adds go on and on , and there are 30 second ones more frequently then with other apps. Lots of adds usually have a little “ x “ at the top to tap out, but with these ones, you have watch the whole thing!!!!😢 I would love to continue playing this game, as soon as the adds pop up less frequently. And yes , your saying:” why don’t you just pay to not have adds” well, I don’t want to have to pay , if I can just go play something else, because there are many other games like this, which is another reason... I don’t know who came up with this idea for a game, but there seems to be so many games like this , such as ballz ect... it’s kind of annoying!!
I don’t know if it’s my phone , or what, but it’s also kind of hard to move the dotted line ( the thing to aim) it’s so fidgety! It also sometimes gets on my nerves... Maybe it’s just me , but , I love the other games ( ballz...) so much more. I really recommend those ones. I don’t really recommend this one in particular.Show lessPeter Packet
Great right up until it’s terrible
There are a lot of ads, which definitely bugs me but hey, that’s what you get for free app. The graphics get glitchy every once in a while, creating minor and temporary interruptions. But mostly I loved this game.
Some of the levels get really hard and make you work at it. My real issue came when I realized that level 350 is simply unbeatable without power ups. Suddenly and exponentially harder than everything that came before. Hopeless, even. I deleted the app after several weeks of trying. Then I got a new phone and made the mistake of downloading this game again. I got back up to 350 and now I’ve been at it over a week. I’m giving up and deleting again. After enjoying this game so much, it feels like a slap in the face from the developers. And to make matters worse, I have to watch a 30 second ad (meaning the developer gets a few pennies) EVERY TIME I FAIL.
No thank you. I’m out.Show lessJcjenjen
