### 4/5 — Very good for a recently new game

*2024-09-12*

Ads are optional, which are great to see, along with it not heating my phone up and eating battery life. A few things i’d like to add onto/change;

1. give the day night cycle a point (ball multiplier during night or something), thought my phone brightness bugged out when it changed to sunset, so make sure to give the player a warning/notice to it.

2. ability to rotate camera or change viewing position as trying to tap balls is disorienting and hard in the isometric view (you could also increase the radius to delete balls)

3. overflow tubes on the second stage that go down to the gate as the first doors do not open all the way to let balls through

Thats all I can say for now, good luck developing 👍

### 2/5 — Started slow

*2024-04-01*

Pros: fun concept, captures attention, simple.

Cons: doesn’t run in background, balls get stuck constantly, higher upgrades take too long, tons of places balls get stuck, lots of ads both forced and elective, poor attention to detail

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2023-12-21*

I really like the game but when i try to upgrade the ball value it’s still at the default value can you please fix it

### 4/5 — Great Start

*2023-11-19*

I think this game is off to a good start. It is pretty slow and there are a few occasions where the balls will get stuck and you can only fix it by refreshing the app. I think it would be cute if there was like a nudge button which shakes the map a little to loosen logged balls. I also think another great idea is making it so that you don’t have to double tap on icons. I found this an issue during game play. Overall, I like it and plan on playing more. I also like the Day and Night cycle. Adds another level of peaceful into the game.

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2023-11-09*

Make it where I can turn the sounds off please
