Beccause when you get all the balls in the holes...it does nothing..to get to the next level, you have to completely get out of it, and reload it again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BallPuzzle *2009-08-29, version 0* This is really boring even for my children. It does not even go to different levels once finished with a board. Would not recommend ### 1/5 — Awful *2009-01-19, version 0* No point waste of time downloading this has a lot off problems that need to be fixed ### 1/5 — Stupid *2009-01-13, version 0* Doesn't even realize when the ball is in the hole ### 1/5 — Boring! *2009-01-12* Wow this is so boring. It should have some kind of level system or something. ### 1/5 — What?!? *2009-01-12, version 0* This game is not even worth downloading. It gets old after the first level which does not even end when u complete it. Shout out to Farley. ### 2/5 — noioso *2009-02-24, version 0* noiosissimo... ### 2/5 — Too easy *2009-01-14, version 0* U don't get anything for beating a level either. So what's the point ### 3/5 — Needs more *2009-11-25, version 0* Needs a challenge mode with a timer or perhaps make it to where when you get in the holes it says complete and gives you your time and you try to beat your old times ### 3/5 — Good app for free *2009-01-25, version 0* Needs some work though. The marbles sometimes overlap. NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN YOU WIN!!! why??!!???! Also, some minor bugs need to be fixed. ### 3/5 — Insomma *2009-01-14, version 0* Non perfettamente realistico come labirinth ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fgbrhtbthtgyffei *2009-10-29, version 0* This game is amazing!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Ace *2009-08-06, version 0* Well worth downloadin it's free and lots of fun top job devs ignore the bad reveiws it's a good game!!! ### 5/5 — Great Retro Interpretation! *2009-07-09, version 0* My husband and I both downloaded the game and love it! We're not as old as the film noire "Laura" but we are both old enough to remember that this is just like the little game of skill Alan Ladd was trying to master in the movie. No flashing lights, no score, no next level...nothing but the simplicity of seeing if you had the skill to get all those little metal spheres to fall into the holes and stay there. Good job! I do have a wish though, that there was a setting to use a picture from the photo roll as a background. :-) ### 5/5 — Wierd *2009-02-22, version 0* It is a good game that somewhat needs skill but I don't think it is worth it because there's no winningbor losing. Fix thy and I'll give it a 5 star rating ### 5/5 — Perfect *2009-01-12, version 0* This game is a great representation of the classic ball games. The settings of speed, depth, and hole gravity pull allow you to customize it to the exact style you like. The other reviewer obviously dosen't realize you can double tap during the game to pause, restart or switch levels - just as many iPhone games. No complaints here, especially with it being free. Thanks for a sweet game. ### 3/5 — Okay *2009-01-12* This is an ok app. The gameplay is good, but the grapics are so-so. Note: when you get all the balls in, it doesn't tell you that you won, what am I doing wrong. It's not great, but it's worth it, so download it and try it out! ### 3/5 — Not there yet *2009-01-12, version 0* Good game And has potential with a few updates --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
