Worth every penny
There’s a sort of charm and chillness I really like about this game, it’s very polished and just feels like a good vibe. Very impressive one person developed this well done!
Maybe the best game
I spent 6+ hrs playing this on a plane once. Awesome casual game that is relaxing and strategic at the same time. Well done!
4 star because…
This game leaves a bit to be desired. I paid the full price thinking it would be very in depth and unfortunately it was not. I won’t hate, because I’ve had a lot of fun playing it! If you see the preview of this game and think it’s for you, it likely is! And for what it’s worth, it is that game minus the ads that most mobile games have. I paid full price, and mind you, it’s a full quality game for the price, BUT, I wish there was more to it. 4 planets (stages/levels) is not enough. I could see a lot more out of this game, and I’ll keep it downloaded to my device in hopes that more content comes soon. I fully upgraded and “beat” the game in roughly 3 days, if not less.

Best time killer. Addictive
This game is a great way to pass the time. I got it before a family trip and it made waiting for everyone to be ready to leave the house a breeze. No more bad moods. It’s also addictive. One week into the vacation we were all playing and competing for best scores or least shots on levels. Passed all the levels and keep playing them over and over. Wish they released more.

Great fun game until you reach the green planet
The pieces you must remove from the field start coming in with much higher numbers than you're able to clear in time before they reach the top of the screen. No matter how many balls per shot you upgrade to, you never get them at the beginning of the game; it seems you have to aquire them during the current game. This seems more difficult than the Android version.

Muy divertido
Buen juego, muy entretenido ir excavando y mejorar para llegar más hondo y así poder pasar a otro planeta. Muy cuidado gráficamente y en rendimiento.
Let’s go
I got a 1K golden badge on my little guy because I reached 1000m depth on the black hole mode and now the hundreds of hours spent are all worth it
Curiously Addictive
Have always enjoyed this game, but for a while I’d shelved it because I’d played the campaign through and had a high score in the infinite stage that I just couldn’t beat. (I swear it was updated with a physics fix that made it just slightly more challenging in being just slightly more accurate/removed one tiny seldom triggered bug/whatever it was.)
I came back to it after a few years to find my one wish — that the infinite stage could be made more colorful along with showcasing the other music from other stages — had been implemented!
These days I use it as a kind of software toy, not expecting I’ll EVER beat my high score (though it’s fun to try). I just like the chaos that can sometimes be found in creating a particularly good shot that happens to be both acyclic and yet a very long path. I compete not on depth but try to see how many “touches” (times bullets hit the bricks) with every shot. Which happens to be good strategy for winning but is a much harder thing to compete with oneself at. And thinking of it now ad a software toy, it takes the edge off the inevitable crash and need to reset progress.
Basically, rethinking how I approach the game the second time I’ve come to it to play, it’s turned it into a go-to fidget toy. And I love that…
It might not be everyone’s favorite, but it’s a neat twist on the old “Breakout”-type gameplay, and for me it’s surprisingly rewarding in repeat gameplay.

Been playing for years
Pretty good fun if you like this type of thing. It says as you go so you can play for One round or we can play for two hours.
The missing star is because it’s a very limited. They’re only so many levels and then endless mode and that’s it. There’s no real variety or, interesting replay value except to pass time on the toilet

Super fun, want more
I’m ok paying a bit of $$ for a fun game, and this is that. But it took only a few days of playing to 100% the game. I know I can keep trying to dig deeper on the final level but there's not much motivation to keep playing. Would love more levels and more upgrades.
Addictive & satisfying game, but overpriced
positives:
- in overall is a well-designed game.
- great graphics and artstyle.
- pretty addictive dan satisfying, definitely a one-more-game certified.
- the upgrade cost is very generous. though on higher level of the upgrade-level, we have to replay earlier stages to afford it.
mixed:
- the only replayablity value in this game lies in the last stage, which is an endless stage.
negatives:
- i beat all the stage (except the endless one) in just 4 hours 10 minutes. for this amount of content vs the price of usd 3.99, its falls into overpriced category. for this price, definitely won't hurt if you guys can add more content or at least more mode(s).

fun gameplay, horribly balanced late game
once you reach the endless mode it is not balanced at all, definitely needs a rework.
Great game but will there be any higher levels?
Very simple but very enjoyable game. I have reached the uppermost level and I am wondering if there will ever be any other levels.
Can we get abandoned a mission?
I’m trying to chase down a friend on the scoreboard, but I’m stuck doing the mission. I started instead of restarting a different one. Why is there no way to abandon a game?
New colors are trash
I used to love this game. It’s a great time waster without being too addicting and requires low commitment. However, they just updated the colors of the blocks and they are terrible. I wish there was a way to change back.
Stellar
Through the years, Holedown has remained the single game installed on my phone. You can see and feel the creator’s craft in every detail: music, animation, humour, attention to minute detail.
New color scheme sucks!
Bring back the color schemes you had before this latest update. The game was perfect before you decided to change the colors for no reason. Now it just hurts the eyes.
Love the game except for the little mascot
I love this game and play it addictively. I would even love the little tic-tac shaped mascot in the corner except for his comments when you tap him. Why do his comments make him out to be such a tankie? Maybe his comments need a re-do.
One of my all-time favorites
An excellent source of Dopamine 😅 The sounds and feel are perfect an almost perfect block breaker game
super konzept 👌
aber das spiel ist super schnell durchgespielt und man landet in einem unendlichen level ohne sinn/ziel ☹️
