## What is Knockball?

Knockball is an exciting game designed to make you think outside the box to achieve a higher score.
The goal couldn't be simpler - knock all the balls off the board without losing the golden ball. No time pressure though, take as long as you need to think your move through. 
The mechanics are extremely easy to learn, but you will need to think to get the perfect score.
You are rewarded for playing smart! The less moves you take, the higher the reward. 
So if you enjoy games that make you think your moves through, Knockball is for you!
However if you just want to let some steam off, there's nothing more satisfying than going wild and causing mayhem on the table or playing against an AI opponent and winning.

### 3/5 — Too bad

*2022-08-05, version 3.0.3*

Fun game but not paying to move ahead.

### 5/5 — Good ol’ days

*2022-02-02, version 3.0.2*

A good ol’ app

### 5/5 — I Love This Game….But

*2021-12-11, version 3.0.2*

I wrote the review below three years ago. Everything still stands… including the fact that the game still crashes after level 115 is completed and I can never play levels 116 onwards. 
My phone is up to date 15.1 and yet after 3 years and several updates of this app the problem is still not fixed. Please fix it…

Original Review - 
I’ve had this game for years on several devices. So glad they updated it to 64 Bit so I can play on my iPhone. There is a lack of good ball games in the App Store but this is definitely one. Very good physics and range of levels. Could be made even better if you could add spin to the gold ball like in Pool or Snooker. However is still a great little game as it is. ....as a post script to the above I have just discovered a bug. After completing level 115 the app crashes instead of loading level 116. Clicking on “App Support” takes me to a page of frh games that doesn’t open. So can’t report the bug with the game makers/owners. Running iOS 11.4.1 on an iPhone SE Please fix...

### 4/5 — Doesn't play beyond level 116

*2019-07-05, version 2.0.2*

Great game, but it crashes at level 116.

### 4/5 — Bug at Level 116

*2019-04-30, version 2.0.2*

I love this game. I’m addictive, but at level 116, the game crashes and I automatically exit the game. Do you please correct this ? It’s too bad that is crashes. I’m not able to play since level 116 ...

### 5/5 — Glitch in latest version....After completing table 115 .

*2018-12-07, version 2.0.2*

Glitch in latest version....After completing table 115 ..... table 116 will not load... so you cannot play anymore tables...

### 5/5 — KnockBall

*2018-11-16, version 2.0.1*

Greater relaxer!

### 5/5 — Great, iOS 11 upgrade??

*2017-11-30, version 1.3*

A fun simple realistic physics game from the early days of iOS. Any chance of a 64-bit upgrade? I'd hate to lose this app!

### 5/5 — OUT standing!

*2017-01-20, version 1.3*

I haven't laughed so much in ages, this is a great game.  OK that's the review done, back to the game. Yeeeha!
