### 5/5 — Vito N

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.0*

Have 875K plus. Still 108 Lives. Hoping to break million mark. I love this game.

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2026-08-02, version 1.3.0*

How is it possible to always lose a life on #10?????????????????????

### 4/5 — Stress Reliever

*2026-07-18, version 1.3.0*

This game for me is a stress reliever. It is fun can be challenging but on days that are challenging for me I take some time to play this game and I feel less stressed. So for me it’s a win-win even if I lose.

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2026-07-12, version 1.3.0*

VAL sucks horse cock!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Brick breaker so original

*2026-07-05, version 1.3.0*

I love this game I used to play it when I was 4 and I’m happy it’s still around it’s such a. Cool chill game

### 2/5 — Some flaws

*2026-06-30, version 1.3.0*

This version is based on luck there are levels that require no skill to complete just luck, I would like to play not watch the ball bounce and hope it goes in the correct direction. Nice try, it’s close.

### 4/5 — Lovely way to honour the original

*2026-06-20, version 1.3.0*

A faithful reproduction that plays well. The board isn’t truly touchscreen fast, but I think it adds to the value in somewhat reproducing the speed of a BlackBerry trackball. A weird quirk of this old app is the mute option no longer works, but it does follow the iOS-wide Silent Mode.

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2026-06-14, version 1.3.0*

Game cheats you whenever it can!!!!

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2026-05-28, version 1.3.0*

I can’t get the audio off even when selected as an option. Otherwise the game is similar to the one i remember from my Blackberry days.

### 5/5 — SAM
