Now usually if there are a lot of ads in a game, I'll rate it four stars, but the reason the ads brings it down to three for this game? Unlike most games, ketchapp sometimes make games where the ads pop up WHILE YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME, for example in this game, when your getting a really good run, your almost to one thousand points, and then suddenly, "INSTAGRAM, Install now!", causing you to take 5 seconds closing the ad (because we all know that the x box to close the ad is undersized so you take longer to close the ad), and when you get back to your game, time ran out and your at only 600 points because clicking the ad close button swiped you down! Now I think I'm a relatively good player, being in the top 3000 out of a million players, with a score of 1046, so that's why I still play this game all the time, but if you HATE, and I mean H A T E ads? Then don't think about this game. ### 4/5 — Real great game! *2017-07-24, version 1.0* I like this game. Really fun and addicting, it's a good time killer. People were saying they had problems with the ads, but I only get 1 ad the first round I play, every day. It really doesn't bug me. People were also having trouble controlling the ball. Again, I didn't have a problem. Although it does take a little time to get used to it. You just really have to swipe it in the direction u want. Over all, not a bad game at all! ### 3/5 — Fun but... *2017-07-11, version 1.0* This game is great it's super addicting and a good time killer. I recommend it. The thing is the game doesn't have an add pop up before you start the game, but during. The problem is that you have to tap or whatever you want to call it you automatically tap on the add. And that wouldn't seem so bad but two things.1) it's super annoying and a waste of time.2) you lose seconds when your looking at the add so you won't get far at all in the game. Then another thing is that the ball just bounces all over the place and doesn't go where you want to go. ### 3/5 — fun but... *2017-07-02, version 1.0* the game is so much fun and addicting but when you're in the middle of playing an add pops up and makes you lose seconds. With all of the adds I will never be able to beat my high score! I would have gave this app a almost perfect review if there wasn't so many adds. ### 3/5 — 😇😎💩💩💩💩💩💩 *2017-06-27, version 1.0* It starts out good then an add pops up. You ex the add out and then it comes up for you to download it when you are in the middle of a he game. The time does not even stop. It's so fing annoying ### 3/5 — Adds *2017-06-05, version 1.0* I have been playing this game for a while and I have noticed that ads constantly pop up in the middle of my game! The game is definitely fun but the ads are the only thing that I do not enjoy about the game! ### 2/5 — It's okay I guess *2017-05-20, version 1.0* It's so stressful to play. U take it to the side and I goes down and sometimes I push up and it goes all the way down. When I first open the app it has so many ads by the time I exit out it's at 10 seconds. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2017-05-20, version 1.0* This game is just 22 seconds of getting stuck with the ball bouncing between obstacles. Advertisements for other games prompt right in the middle of the game and you have no choice but to click and when you don't click the Ad the clock doesn't stop on the game so you might as well not try. The concept was good but the execution and Ad block were terrible. ### 3/5 — Annoying adds *2017-05-18, version 1.0* When your playing the game a random add comes up and it interrupts your game and it's annoying. Overall it's a fun game ### 2/5 — This dam game *2017-05-17, version 1.0* This game needs to be more sensitive to when you swipe it to the sides and up and down because when I swipe up it goes to the side and not up and when I swipe to the side it goes up instead of the side. ### 2/5 — Fun, but not addicting. *2017-05-17, version 1.0* I get bored with the game and i absolutely hate it when i'm in the middle of playing and an ad pops up. At least have it where it pops up after you lose or something. ### 4/5 — Fun but... *2017-05-15, version 1.0* The game is fun and addicting but there is one problem. Ads pop up in the middle of the screen. They take up the entire screen and the 22 seconds still count down while the ads are there so it ruins the round. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2017-05-14, version 1.0* Once you start it freezes then cuts to an ad every time you open it and start playing trust causing you to mess up and every time you swipe and mess up you just can't do anything but hit the walls until the game is up... there's no pause or restart button, it's repetitive and the same exact thing every time you play ### 4/5 — Perfect game to break your phone over *2017-05-13, version 1.0* It is one of those games that can drive you crazy and cause you to break your phone ### 3/5 — Good game other than the ad interruptions in the middle of playing *2017-05-13, version 1.0* The game mechanics are good for a one handed quick game style game but the one complaint I have is when you start a game and an ad pops up 5 seconds into the round. It's annoying as hell and I'm sure I'm not the only one bugged by this, other than that it's a good simple game to play. ### 2/5 — Ok *2017-05-13, version 1.0* This game is a neat and fun idea and a good time consuming activity. However, it has its flaws and its gets a little boring after a while. I would recommend making game modes or something like that to change it up. To add on, ads pop up in the middle of the game and mess you up as well as lagging out and taking away seconds from your game. It would be best to only have ads before and after the games so that they don't freeze up your screen and mess you up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Learning where to place ads 101 *2020-06-07, version 1.0* Whenever you go for a run in this app it either gives an ad when you have 10 seconds left or when you have 20 seconds left. Both places are critical for a good run. It’s really annoying to deal with, my recommendation. Move on to a better game ### 1/5 — Adds in the middle of a level *2020-02-05, version 1.0* I really wanted to like this game, but it felt like about 1/3 of the times I would start, an ad would pop up in the middle of play, covering most of the screen. I could still see on the very edges, and my little marker would be going the wrong direction and I think my timer was still going. I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel ads have gotten way to excessive in iOS games. I don’t mind watching an ad or two for a really god free game, but when they are popping up full screen ads in the middle of game play, that is when I click delete. ### 1/5 — It's terrible *2017-07-08, version 1.0* There is a sort of high skill ceiling in this game and it's okay, but only until you realize that bad generation of the map will basically determine whether or not you even get a chance to try for a high score, which means when you are near a high score and then get screwed by a stupid pattern or ruins all the fun. It's also absolutely plastered with ads ### 1/5 — Unexpected Ads *2017-06-04, version 1.0* This game is a very clever and unique game that many gaming companies haven't done before, but it has too many inconvenient ads in the middle of the game. It time limits me and then an ad pops up in the middle of the game and if I don't click it the time will still go down. I hope in the future this may be changed because I seriously deleted the app because of the issues with annoying and unexpected advertisements. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2017-05-24, version 1.0* This game is really fun but they decided to make the stupid ads pop up while you're playing. It doesn't even stop the clock. Like if you want ads that's fine but quit being dicks and put them before or after the game ### 1/5 — Developed by money hungry lowlives *2017-05-12, version 1.0* If you're going to make a game with ads, then you need to make the ad display before the game is playable. Except, you guys don't. You let the game load, so we start playing and then you throw the ad so we automatically click on the ad. That is sketchy and you guys are wrong for it. Maybe if you guys had actual education in developing you'd know that but I don't expect you to ### 1/5 — Doesn't show you how to play. *2017-05-08, version 1.0* It just throws you in, and expects you to understand how the game works. Right off the bat you will likely get frustrated, and end up either looking at the comments on how to play the game or deleting it. I chose to delete it, and forget I ever laid eyes on this app. ### 1/5 — Horrible Game *2017-05-07, version 1.0* This game is so frustrating. After the second try I gave up on this game. The ball never goes where you want it too. The ball practically stays in the same spot if you get stuck. And if you get stuck then you just are repeatedly hitting the walls and it's extremely frustrating. This game is honestly one of the worse games I've played. ### 2/5 — Pop-up ads need to stop. *2017-07-08, version 1.0* I just downloaded this game, and after playing it a couple of times I can say it somewhat fun. Only downside to this app is that when I'm playing pop-up ads tend to show up. Hope this is something they can take care of. ### 2/5 — Take it or leave it *2017-05-30, version 1.0* While a time limit is an interesting concept, it loses its value when ads appear midgame and cuts into the player's time; there have been several occasions of this, but mostly at the beginning of the game although there can be an ad midgame and another afterwards. Additionally, where is the award system in this game? The only time I've received a gift of diamonds was after I played the game for the first time. I can't say I've ever been rewarded for beating my previous record. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can't stop *2017-07-19, version 1.0* Cant stop planning I gust got it and already have. Different characters ### 5/5 — 22 Seconds *2017-05-22, version 1.0* This is a very fun game. My only problem is that I wish it had a restart button. If you have a bad start there is no reason to wait a full 22 seconds to try again. ### 5/5 — Can't stop playing *2017-05-21, version 1.0* Awesome can't stop playing ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2017-05-21, version 1.0* I love this game it is sooooooo addicting. It is also really really challenging. It's a little hard in the beginning but after a week or so you get used to it. It makes me want to be competitive with myself 😂😂 ### 5/5 — Sorta addicting *2017-05-17, version 1.0* I started playing it cause I couldn't sleep and ended up playing it for hours me and my friends will pass two phones between the four of us comparing scores... it's really fun but difficult so it isn't a game so easy it's boring ### 5/5 — This Company Never Disappoints *2017-05-14, version 1.0* Addicting, short game. Been playing for 3 days and am already top 5,000 in the world. Leaderboards change daily and give a nice challenge to keep up with. ### 5/5 — So cool *2017-05-13, version 1.0* I love it perfect also when I'm going to the beach like right now I am I'll kill the driving time with this plus we have a mobile hotspot so.. ### 5/5 — Can't stop playing *2017-05-09, version 1.0* The time limit is something I haven't seen in a game before. It's strange but useful. You can actually get pretty close to the world record. I'm only 233 meter behind! 🙌 Edit: Please give us more characters to unlock 🙏 ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-05-08, version 1.0* It is a great game to pass time with. Would love if they added maybe more stages, and have a leaderboard for each stage. ### 5/5 — Addicting, Like Always *2017-05-07, version 1.0* This Game Is Just Like The Others Time Consuming And Addicting --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
