Plays as if it was vibe coded in a couple of house as a lot of the levels are super finicky to get working. ### 2/5 — great concept but can’t recommend *2026-06-24, version 1.0.0* super awesome idea, and the game clearly took a lot of work already but it still doesn’t feel finished. whole game feels so slow and choppy and im playing on an iphone 17 😭 hope this gets fixed but until then i wouldn’t buy it ### 4/5 — Sehr ansprechend, mit einer kleinen Macke *2026-04-22* Sehr cooles Game! Simpel, einfach zu bedienen und auf den Punkt gebracht. Einzig allein, was mich stört ist die Bildrate. Die lässt das ganze sehr flüssig anfühlen, obwohl nichts ruckelt. ### 4/5 — Very fun game *2026-04-20, version 1.0.0* I saw this game all over tik tok and have had a blast playing it. Levels are super fun to play and very challenging at times. I would rate higher but I feel 66 levels doesn’t quite justify the price tag ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-11, version 1.0.0* Never seen anything more creative than this. Can’t even imagine what horrors the dev must’ve faced trying to code this ### 5/5 — Great concept, poor execution *2026-08-07, version 1.0.0* The concept is cool, but the rules of the game are not consistent. I think the solutions were hardcoded rather than emergent. I've played about 10 levels. - You can make the screen 2D to allow the ball to hit the pin from that perspective in one level but not others -You can rotate the camera to allow a platform to "lift" the ball in some levels but in other levels it acts like plain 3D geometry -You can hide drops to make a smooth slope in some levels, but in others the ball just drops into the hidden slope. Edit: Okay I figured it out. It is consistent. You can only manipulate the ball when it's on the ground ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-05, version 1.0.0* Confusing but fun and a level editor or a free version would be nice ### 5/5 — WOW *2026-07-28, version 1.0.0* THIS IS SO ADDICTIVE ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I really love this game. 5 stars, I really LOVE this (ps: i intentionally swapped title and review) *2026-07-27, version 1.0.0* Im in early game but fun ### 5/5 — Amazing and so cute *2026-05-29, version 1.0.0* It’s a good game and I appreciate games that actually try to be fun. saw this in a YouTube short, brought it and having fun with it so far, definitely keep up making great passion projects like this :D ### 5/5 — Amazing concept and execution *2026-05-19, version 1.0.0* This had to be a pain and almost impossible to code. It’s amazing though. This is the only time I have ever bought an app straight from the App Store like this. Usually if I have to pay for it before I try it I don’t bother because I don’t know what I’m buying. But I saw a short of this on YouTube and I decided to just go for it and I’m not disappointed. I’m glad I did it. Despite being absolutely broke lol. The only thing I wish is that you had more control when the ball starts and stops moving. I get it at the challenge, and a lot of people would prefer it this way for that challenge since it doesn’t add much of a challenge just a little bit of an edge, but just a personal preference of mine I wish I was able to pause the ball while figured it out. It does slow down though so you have plenty of time. I’m just a wuss and feel pressured when I know I have a time limit. Most people like that pressure but even growing up playing video games that pressure is always gotten to me. Such a small thing and it has nothing to do with the quality of the game. I still immensely enjoy it and if you’re trying to figure out if you should go for it or not, if you can afford it go for it. Because I really couldn’t afford it that easy but I still did it and I still don’t regret it lol One of the only mobile games that still like the older mobile games where you just got to play a game without a bunch of ads. It’s creative like the older mobile games used to be and it’s smooth and it runs smooth and it makes sense with the logic of the game. It’s actually polished. Great game man or woman. Whoever coded this amazing work. Whoever had this idea, if you are different to the person who wrote the code, congrats on finding someone who was able to pull this off without crashing out on you XD ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-03-15, version 1.0.0* :) ### 5/5 — Great puzzles *2026-03-02, version 1.0.0* This game has very fun puzzles that are very challenging at times. There were some puzzles where I had to exploit the game engine to complete (or maybe that’s just how it was designed --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
