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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Average *2026-03-12, version 1.3.0* This is not the BrickBreaker I remember playing. If this is the one you played, then it probably is more fun and nostalgic than it is for me. ### 4/5 — Sam you *2026-02-27, version 1.3.0* Very cool ### 4/5 — Flashbacks to BlackBerry *2026-02-18, version 1.3.0* Reminds me of the very addictive Brick Breaker game that came pre-installed on my old BlackBerry. Not sure why this game insists on playing dumb sounds, even though I unselected sounds from the (extremely minimal) game settings. Regardless, it’s a reasonably fun game to play. ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2026-02-15, version 1.3.0* Game crashes after finishing every level and toggling sound off doesn’t change anything. Other than that, it’s exactly how the blackberry game was. ### 2/5 — Help! *2026-02-08, version 1.3.0* I have been playing this game for 12 and years but never had this problem.Suddenly the “lifes” are no longer showing up. I turned the machine on and off to no avail.
