### 3/5 — It’s good but...

*2021-01-08, version 1.3*

When you play it for a couple of days why does it crash everytine you click something. Please fix this, overall this is a very good game I love it!😍

### 4/5 — Needs the parts from ball fall down HD

*2019-11-14, version 1.3*

Ok I like the game but you discontinued ball fall down had that has exclusive parts can you add them in to the game please

### 5/5 — I love this!!

*2011-04-11, version 1.2*

I designed my own pinball machine on this and then played it for hours!! Awesome app.

### 5/5 — Great but

*2011-03-12, version 1.1*

This is a very fun and a  one of a kind apps out there but it shouldn't have limits on the number of balls and need some extra objects to keep it entertaining. But thanks for making a game that doesnt have levels or challenges. I think that's what makes it fun and one of a kind. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Lotsa fun!

*2011-03-12, version 1.1*

Amazingly fun physics toy. As soon as I booted it up the first time I was hooked for over an hour!  Perfectly crafted for the iPad...

### 5/5 — great game!

*2011-03-11, version 1.1*

This is what gaming should be. Not everyone wants to rack up points and shoot down the maximum targets. This is for those of us that believe in building and creating, not shooting down and "winning" (and in passing that message on). Beautifully conceived and worked out. Kudos to Flatpack, let's hope they have more such things up their collective sleeves!

### 5/5 — My daughter's favorite

*2011-03-09, version 1.1*

When I asked my five-year-old daughter why she kept going back to BallFallDown, she said "Because the balls go... and then you catch them... and it's REALLY fun!" Now you know.

### 5/5 — Kids love this

*2011-03-09, version 1.1*

I was at a party and a group of kids was surrounding an IPad fighting over who got to play next with this app.  It's the first app I bought when I got my IPad!

### 2/5 — Really?

*2011-03-08, version 1.1*

It is ok as little tool for a toddler. But it lacks several features. Such as copy and paste, maybe different thickness for pieces, and a way to turn the pieces or lengthen them by prressing buttons, cause it is just to hard to touch the pieces themselves. They really did a bad job advertising, posting up lies wont help you gain followers.

### 4/5 — Buy it if you build things for fun!

*2011-03-08, version 1.1*

This is a fun app with a few quirks, but they shouldn't get in the way of you buying it if you like building things (either virtually or "in real life").

It's basically a blank slate that you can fill with bumpers, tubes, and boards to create anything from a rapid-fire ball launcher to a pinball game. It's easy to play, and it's really endlessly fun if you're into this kind of construction game. I'm the kind of person who still occasionally plays with blocks at age 30, and I can mess around with this for hours.

There are a few areas where it could improve:

1. Stretching and rotation of some objects is tricky at times, making it a bit hard to build exactly what you want if you're looking to make something really complex.
2. BallFallDown won't multitask under iOS 4, so you have to wait a few seconds for it to relaunch if you switch apps. To be fair: this is pretty fast, and it does remember exactly where you were when you come back.
3. Most of the graphics look really nice, but a few could be more polished. Overall, this is a very well-made but simple-looking game.

I don't really have any major issues with it, and the free-form fun I get from it more than makes up for the quirks. 

If you look at the description and screenshots and think "boring," it's probably not for you, but if you're intrigued, buy it! At $1, you can't go wrong.

Disclosure: I am tangentially associated with this app, but had nothing to do with the design or coding. Hopefully you'll take this for what it is -- an honest and uninfluenced review.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2011-03-08, version 1.1*

"I want to write a review but I'm too busy playing with this app!"

### 2/5 — Almost.. Worthless

*2011-03-08, version 1.1*

It's neat for an hour or two but the physics have some sort of randomizer that makes complex tampering near impossible.  It just acts really funny.  Plus there are 15 types of balls and maybe 3 worthwhile contraptions to manipulate them.  I'd recommend this game as an intro to physics games for a kid in grade school but adults won't find much use for it.  It's slightly better than completely worthless... slightly..

### 5/5 — So much more than just a game!

*2011-03-08, version 1.1*

I installed this App hoping to find something stimulating for the kids; what  I found is that it is a lot more than just a normal game.  It is more like a construction set with layers that are endlessly appealing to adults as well.  My favorite parts are the physics and the app's interaction with the orientation of the iPad.  I put this on my desk at the office and it is the best executive toy I have seen.  My colleagues are mesmerized by it.  Try it out.  You will not feel guilty letting your kids play this; it is all free form and stimulates creativity.  You will have fun with it too.  It may change your mind about where apps can go.

Thank you

### 1/5 — Crashing?

*2011-08-06, version 1.2*

I would like a refund please, if you are not going to fix the app, I will no longer be purchasing FlatPack apps. This is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — No longer opens and seems no one cares

*2011-05-31, version 1.2*

At first I loved this app but since it no longer opens it would be nice if it was fixed or reimbursed.  I have had problems for some time and now after ready some of the other reviews see that I am not alone.  A fix would be my choice.

### 1/5 — DON't BUY!!!!

*2011-05-30, version 1.2*

Doesn't even start up don't waste your money I think that all of the people who bought it, and it didn't start up should get a refund .  Again don't buy it!

### 1/5 — Rjg

*2011-03-26, version 1.2*

Crashes on opening.  Unable to open.  So much for an update.  Please fix

### 1/5 — Huh?

*2011-03-09, version 1.1*

Just stupid... Although it was 99 cents... I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Snoozers

*2011-03-09, version 1.1*

This is the most boring 'game' in the world.

### 1/5 — This Is A Drawing Erector Set NOT A Game

*2011-03-07, version 1.1*

The only resemblance to Angry Birds is that they both have pixels! NOT A GAME!!!

### 1/5 — Boring

*2011-03-07, version 1.1*

Unless you enjoy building rudimentary Rube Goldberg-esque machines, this is not the app for you. 

To call this a game is an enormous stretch. It is more of a do-it-yourself physics simulator than anything else.

It is phenomenally misrepresented in its' description which compares it to the gameplay of Angry Birds. It is nothing like Angry Birds, there are no levels and there is no game.

This should not be filed under the game section of the app store as it is misleading. Perhaps one could file it under Entertainment if one were so inclined.

Overall, I wish I could get my money back.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2011-03-07, version 1.1*

This is not a game! It does not contend with Angry birds at all, save your money.

### 5/5 — The Goat

*2026-08-13, version 2.0*

I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid and i just now thought of the game again and spent over half an hour remembering it enough to search it up. The fact that it was just brought back is like a movie style experience. This game is incredible for kids!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-07-08, version 1.2*

The last item you should add are speeders!

### 5/5 — Great game!!

*2015-05-09, version 1.2*

Make compatible with iPod! Just fantastic

### 5/5 — Awesomely pointless!

*2012-03-15, version 1.2*

Pointless but addicting. Only thing it needs is better background music. Love all the things you can do the possibilities are endless

### 5/5 — Absorbing and relaxing

*2012-01-28, version 1.2*

As a parent I love how my twelve-year-old gets absorbed in this game. For myself I just spent an hour in this world and am completely blissed out.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!!

*2011-05-14, version 1.2*

I am addicted. BFD is blowing my mind! What it needs now more ball-spheres, themes etc. Like glowing, or techno, art deco. Excellent!!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2011-04-16, version 1.2*

I just downloaded this game today and it is already my favorite one!  The graphics are great and pretty much everything else is too! Its my favorite because i think that its fun to be able to build your own game with so many ball types amd wheels. Once again, the app is fabulous and i would highly reccomed it.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS

*2011-04-14, version 1.2*

I love this

### 5/5 — Great non-score game!

*2011-04-12, version 1.2*

This is a game my 6 yrs. old loves to play with.  It's not about levels and scoring points, he can just go on and on arranging pieces on the board.  He loves the teleporters!  I like playing with it myself quite a bit as well.  Again, not having scores is a winning point—if you pardon the pun!  One can concentrate on just building things, and have fun.

### 5/5 — Ball Fall Down

*2011-04-11, version 1.2*

First of all I love the name. So simple and kind of cute. I first played by myself and got addicted. Then my 8 year old wanted to see what I was doing so she first watched then fell in love. Now we play together and it's so much fun. He little brother is now getting into watching us play and soon he'll be addicted as well. 
 I love that it's not about keeping score and "winning". A great lesson for my kids.
