### 5/5 — So Fun!

*2026-07-04, version 2.1*

This is really a classic and fun game! You should make more games like this! :)

### 5/5 — Why not classics?

*2026-07-03, version 2.1*

Add Pac-Man, please

### 4/5 — Good just copyright ig……

*2026-06-23, version 2.1*

Reason Why I Put “copyright ig” is because I think they copied the sound from Roblox’s DANDY’S WORLD when Twisted Vee Makes An Ad Pop Up On Your Screen sorry Atari For Acusing You

### 5/5 — It’s fun

*2026-05-10, version 2.1*

I like it. It’s a fun game and I like the feature that you can control how fast the ball moves and it’s really fun and it’s made by the original BREAKOUT® maker Atari. 😀😀😀☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️👶🏼

### 5/5 — Just Perfect

*2026-02-13, version 2.1*

No ads, No p2w, PERFECT!!! Thanks again Atari for such a great game

### 1/5 — The game needs updating. IOS 26.

*2026-01-21, version 2.1*

This game needs an update, right after I bought the first pack the game quit loading. I then redownloaded and went to restore purchase, the game then closes. Now its not opening again. Unplayable.

### 5/5 — Breakout

*2026-01-18, version 2.1*

I love this game I only do the five levels cause I don't play games a lot.  I have a lot of hobbies so I float around my activities. It's   Not worth paying for games if I only play not even once a month. When I get bed ridden then I'll pay. Lol lol

### 5/5 — Good game!

*2026-01-13, version 2.1*

Good for any retro Atari game lover! Modern-ish version of Breakout for mobile you can take anywhere!

### 1/5 — One star for me

*2025-12-29, version 2.1*

You haven’t created a free game if we have to buy levels to get anywhere it’s not free and I will not support it. I don’t know what if people are on these days besides the green holler you’re going to like a free game and then charge for the levels no thanks

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2025-12-14, version 2.1*

It’s all well and good but you have limited options unless you PAY!!! I’ll be uninstalling in a few minutes!!!!
