Kudos to the developer, they reached out to me, stating "To comply with the recently updated age-related regulations, certain features of the game have been updated." Seems crazy but in any case I appreciate their quick response. While it may not be a big deal to many (providing Personal Info), I try to limit the amount of data I share when possible... ### 2/5 — TOO MANY POP UPS! *2026-07-30, version 2615.0.2* This would be a really enjoyable game if not for the multitude of pop ups that appear before I can even play! I just want to play but it seems like every day another annoying quest or whatever is added to it. Not fun just annoying. ### 4/5 — Age Verification?!?! *2026-07-27, version 2615.0.1* An age verification window popped up in the last two days. I’m unable to play the game without entering my date of birth. I have very much enjoyed playing this game for a number of years and althoughIt seems like a minor request to enter birthday, I regret I’m unwilling to do this to continue playing the game. I hope the developer has a change of heart, no need to enter a birthday to play a game like this. ### 2/5 — Game crashes *2026-07-26, version 2615.0.1* Game crashes when ad comes on ### 4/5 — Progress restarting *2026-05-14, version 2609.1.0* I am lvl 1300+ I love the game but I find myself not playing it due to the game cancelling levels halfway through if you have a 5 minute break, cancelling upgrades even if you have 1 hour timer, resetting crown upgrades. It seems like a dodgey way to make you spend money on the game for more upgrades. If I could suggest one thing to the developers please change this so all styles of progress don’t reset. ### 4/5 — Very kool *2026-03-06, version 26.0305.00* Check it out! ### 5/5 — моя любимая игра *2026-02-17* я в него играю с 2024 года😍 **Developer response:** Привет! Спасибо, чтобы наслаждаться нашей игры. 🤗 Если вы никогда не имеют вопросы или комментарии, чувствуете бесплатно.У вас есть большой день! ### 3/5 — Langweilig *2026-02-14* Etliche Levels sind viel zu leicht. Zu viele Extras werden auf einmal eingeführt. Keine Herausforderung. Und dann die Werbung… **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass das Spiel Ihren Erwartungen nicht entsprach. Ihr Feedback ist wertvoll und hilft uns zu verbessern. Wenn Sie mehr Details über das Spielchat oder E-Mail teilen könnten, würde es uns helfen, das Problem zu lösen. Danke fürs Spiel. ### 4/5 — Good, but it should be better, but it isn’t. *2026-02-08, version 26.0205.00* I love the game, but, after the latest update, when I go back to previous levels I’ve completed to collect the missing stars, it doesn’t update, which I hate, this has to be fixed. ### 3/5 — Any new levels? *2026-02-07, version 26.0205.00* Played through 1100 levels but everything is locked after that. Easy to play…never paid a dime to advance. ### 2/5 — Locks up *2026-02-06, version 26.0205.00* Game keeps locking up when I try and watch an ad and I lose my progress and booster ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT PAY - THE GAME IS A SCAM *2026-08-26, version 2617.0.1* You can watch in real time the game glitch. The balls will burst through bricks without even hitting the bricks. Balls will be trapped between layers without actually counting the hit. The lightning lines or whatever they are will disappear without you benefiting. These are integral parts of the game that cost YOU winning shots, in turn wanting you to spend more money. If you put any money into this game, they are scamming you. ### 1/5 — Total junk… *2026-08-25, version 2617.0.1* This “game” serves only to sell subscriptions to their diamond service, or to get you to purchase power-ups. This “game” is substantially similar to bunches of games with similar “play” but different names. It adheres to the Android model of forcing you to watch 30 second ads periodically. Don’t waste your time or money on this garbage. It’s the same blatant money grab just with a slightly different name. ### 1/5 — Age verification *2026-07-25, version 2615.0.1* Patriot act strikes again ### 1/5 — Age Verification?!?!?? *2026-07-25, version 2615.0.1* You MUST be joking… for what?!??? GFY. I’m out. I used to play this everyday. Never again. ### 1/5 — Fake warning signs saying My Phone is corrupt *2026-07-11, version 2614.0.3* What the hell is going on? I have used this app for a good few years, but suddenly the ads are warning signs that my Ifone is corrupt. ### 1/5 — Calibration Issues *2026-06-06, version 2612.0.0* Ball doesn’t score like it should. Aiming is off compared to other brick ball games ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-05-19, version 2610.0.1* I played this game for more than 5 years. I created a team, named it NEVERtrump. The team was top ranked for years, then, without warning, the creators seemed to change my team name. So I guess if you support Donald Trump this is the game for you. If you say anything bad about him, you’ll be kicked out. ### 1/5 — Werbung nahm überhand *2026-04-05* Leider hat die Werbung derart zugenommen, dass der Spielspass nicht mehr im Vordergrund steht. Mittlerweile 30 Sekunden plus 3-4 Screens wegklicken, nein danke! Die immer gleiche Werbeblöcke penetrieren derart, dass diese Spiele für mich nicht in Frage kommen. Schade, gut begonnen und drastisch verschlechtert. Deinstalliert. **Developer response:** Hallo! Es tut uns wirklich leid, dass die vielen Werbeanzeigen Ihr Spielerlebnis frustrierend gemacht haben. 😢 Wir würden gerne mehr Details erfahren, um das Spiel weiter zu verbessern. Wir werden unser Bestes geben, um Ihnen in Zukunft eine bessere Erfahrung zu bieten. Vielen Dank und einen schönen Tag noch! ### 1/5 — Advertised game *2026-03-03, version 26.0219.00* Advertised game isn’t the same. ### 1/5 — Level 685 and Im done *2026-01-19, version 26.0107.00* Have played for years but now internet connectivity is required so Im done playing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brick Out!! *2026-08-13, version 2616.1.0* Awesome !!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-11, version 2616.0.1* I loved this as an arcade gamer I still love ### 5/5 — Finally! *2026-08-07, version 2616.0.1* Finally a game that you can play with very reasonable ad time. If you’re spending more time watching ads than playing, it’s garbage. ### 5/5 — Side quest *2026-07-29, version 2615.0.2* Love this game been playing for awhile. I’m playing a side quest and I can’t seem to lose. I’ve been at it for hours and don’t want to lose my progress but don’t want to play for hours at the same thing over and over. The difficulty has remained the same for the past hour ### 5/5 — iPhone 14 *2026-07-18* Awesome!!!! FARHAN UDDIN NAGARI **Developer response:** Hello! It’s great to hear you're enjoying the experience. Your feedback keeps us going—thanks for being with us! 😊 ### 5/5 — love it *2026-06-29, version 2613.0.0* best game in the world ### 5/5 — Best *2026-06-19, version 2612.2.0* Ever ### 5/5 — Fun game. Takes strategy . Makes you think. *2026-05-18, version 2610.0.1* Fantastic game. ### 5/5 — My new favorite game!!! *2026-05-14, version 2609.1.0* Love this ad-free app. ### 5/5 — Lock, lock out, frozen, bricked *2026-04-12, version 2607.2.0* Hey it’s me. Keeping the lights on. But I keep get froze after watching ad. Why should I watch ad? Fix please --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
