### 4/5 — Update

*2015-04-24, version 1.2.3*

Update for iOS 8 and iphone 6+ please!

### 4/5 — Coil rocked

*2013-01-20*

I was once the ultimate all time Colibricks champion with a high score of over 300,000. No one in my family could compete with me and I was All alone at the top. Unable to find decent competition, and learning that my brother threw out my iMac, I left my family.

Some ten years pass by and now we have Colibricks for iPad!
I have great difficulty playing Colibricks on my iPad since the mouse is no longer used. It is far more difficult to master. Suddenly the playing field has leveled off. I'm now back with my family and the competition is fierce! Colibricks is a great social-media game!

### 5/5 — Mrs

*2012-11-06, version 1.2.3*

Brilliant game, passes many an hour I've got a short attention span but don't get bored at all....get it!

### 5/5 — Beware!!!

*2012-08-15*

This is an absolutely addictive time-waster! And great fun!

### 5/5 — great game, classic ball & paddle

*2012-03-30*

This is a great game where the ball falls down and you move the paddle to bounce it back up. Lots of different configurations.

### 5/5 — Colibricks

*2011-08-18, version 1.2.1*

Greatest brick-breaker game I've owned. Easily addictive. Highly recommended, although I think I'm getting carpal tunnel.

### 5/5 — Definitiv das beste Breaking Game...

*2011-07-24, version 1.2.1*

...das ich bislang auf dem iPad gespielt habe. Die Steuerung ist super, die screens sind mit Sinn und verstand gebaut, die fallenden Gegenstände machen Sinn. Einfach gut! Jeder, der auf Break-out Games steht wird hiermit seine Freude haben!

### 4/5 — Carina

*2011-06-20, version 1.2.1*

Sembra ritornare nel passato a giocare cm questi giochini... Carina !!

### 4/5 — I love this game!

*2011-06-19*

I remember playing this game or something very similar nearly 8 years ago on my computer and I loved it.

The only downsides of this game: its like half the screen, so that's weird. And some suggestions could be a create a level/submit mode and multiplayer(pass n play).

### 4/5 — Love it!!

*2011-02-28*

Easy controls, lots of levels, items are awesome, and it makes gameplay fun! But the tilt mode barely works. :( Overall great game!

### 1/5 — Seriously flawed

*2015-05-05*

Fun game great for strategy and hand-eye coordination. But the flaw is that the bar frequently misplays - it will move to the right off the play; it will freeze in place; it will discharge balls without your action to do so. What then is a fun game where you develop skills becomes nothing but a frustrating game of losing opportunities to play because of issues with a malfunctioning slide bar. Fix that in the program and you have a winner - with no fix to the errant slide bar you

### 1/5 — Nul

*2011-06-27, version 1.2.1*

C'est mou...

### 2/5 — Plante sous iOS9 (bugging under iOS9)

*2015-09-17, version 1.2.3*

Update Please !!!
Else, addictive..

### 2/5 — Addicted but disappointed

*2014-03-28*

I am addicted. However, within the last year, the touch controls for this game have stopped working correctly. Sometimes the slide bar does not respond to my touch. (No, it's not the device, as I have different devices and I now have a brand new iphone and the game responds the same on them all.)  I am Getz g disillusioned with the game as a result of these bugs. Otherwise, this would be a 5-star app!

### 2/5 — Quality

*2011-06-20*

Very bad quality of sound. Graphics are terrible and menus the same.

### 2/5 — Way better brick breaker games out there

*2011-06-19*

This game just has more things I didn't like than I liked. The levels take way too long at the end to finish as I always seem to get to a point where the ball moves SOOOOO slowly around the large iPad screen and just never gets to the last few bricks. I don't like the way it does the special bricks, and there doesn't seem to be any way to leave the screen and resume later. The screen that comes up after completing a level moves annoying slow. If you are a person like me that likes to just get in and out of a game quickly, this one will annoy the heck out of you!

### 3/5 — Sticky Fingers!

*2020-04-08*

I had this game on Mac long ago, and just purchased it for iPad play. Overall it’s well ported, but by the time you get to the 5th level, your finger is going to start sticking when you try to move the slider, and you will quickly start to lose balls. I think this is due to oil from your fingers mucking up the screen. I don’t know for sure. But if you just want to muck around and not make a championship run, it’s ok.

### 3/5 — 04.04.2012 Momo

*2012-04-04, version 1.2.3*

Ist gut,aber Wehre schön wenn es denn auch in deutsch Wehre!könnt ihr nicht auch ein Halma raus bringen?und Super dx Ball?würde gut ankommen!

### 3/5 — Eh

*2010-11-10*

Levels take WAY TOO LONG to beat! You literally spend like a half hr just trying to beat one level!!

### 3/5 — So very close...

*2010-11-06, version 0*

It's fantastic to see Colibricks - a game I've loved on OS X for ages - make it to the iPhone, especially when I thought development on it was dead! It's a measure of how much I loved the OS X version that every other brick-breaker I've downloaded on iOS I hoped - usually to my disappointment - would behave like Colibricks.

As is often the issue with an iOS version of a desktop game, there is a risk that the control system doesn't translate too well - but not in this case, the control system, even on the iPhone screen, is simple and easy to use.

Unfortunately, this game commits the cardinal sin for any 'pick up and play' game on the iPhone - it doesn't let you play your own music! It could be worse, the sound effects are very good and in great stereo, but for a game that's destined to be played on the train home, you find yourself not wanting to pick it up so you don't lose your music. For this reason, I'm only awarding this app three stars - fix this simple problem (and maybe give us a level creator...!) and this is a 5-star app, definitely!

### 5/5 — Klassiker 1A Umgesetzt!

*2025-01-05, version 1.2.9*

Steuert sich sogar besser als damals auf dem uralten Macintosh. Für Nostalgiker ist der Euro es echt wert!

### 5/5 — Magnificent

*2024-09-02, version 1.2.9*

One of the oldest and unquestionably the best brick game. Fifty creative, challenging, even brilliant levels.

### 5/5 — Game showing its age

*2023-02-10*

I have played this game for years and love it. Unfortunately, it goes crazy after a while and I have to delete and then reinstall it. Of course, I then lose my old scores. It is currently stopping at random places saying I have finished all levels. Sometimes the ball starts at the top of the screen. Wacky things. Still fun but disappointing to be cut off just when you have a good game string going.

### 5/5 — Still my favorite brick breaking game

*2022-05-17*

I remember downloading this for my old G3 iBook way back in the day. The graphics could use some polishing to bring them up to 2022 standards, but the game play and mechanics are still top notch.

### 5/5 — Never tire of this game!

*2019-06-30*

Been playing for over 3 years. Always a challenge to try and get a higher score. Also a challenge to get to higher levels without loosing a life. High score (so far) is over 3,000,000. I would like to have the ability to save a game for when my daughter wants to play - but I’d like to keep the game I’m the middle of.

### 5/5 — Still love it

*2017-03-28*

Been playing this for over six years now. I'm still lousy at it,  it it's my go-to game for relaxing for a few minutes on a commute or something.

I've never had issues with the controls that weren't caused by either sticky fingers or a dirty screen. Level design progresses well and is always challenging.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2016-07-31*

This was one of the first games I found that could run under OS X a long time ago, and it's still a lot of fun on iOS!

### 5/5 — Luigi

*2015-11-28, version 1.2.4*

Bel gioco

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2013-09-03*

Extremely addictive. I wish there were some new scenarios available.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!

*2013-02-05*

Soon to be in the Apple App hall of fame! A must have!
