I love its simplicity, and I’m glad it takes advantage of the leaderboard apple system thing. lol. I don’t really see what new content you could add that would still be in line with the core gameplay- it performs excellently in what it is designed for. Plus, no ads and data collected.

It won’t be for everyone. ### 2/5 — Randomness *2023-10-20* There is some randomness that make the trajectory after the bounce unpredictable therefore you are not playing againt yourself but relying on cheer luck or superhuman reaction time. Because you cannot say where it gonna go with the same hit you can’t train yourself to control the ball. It’s just annoying and sometimes for whatever the reason it’s just gonna go the other way and you’re done for because human reaction can’t catch up with such speed. **Developer response:** Sorry you’re not enjoying it! There is some randomness, otherwise it was really boring, but it is still possible to react quick enough (see the global leaderboards) with some practice. ### 2/5 — Spielspaß für 2 Minuten *2023-02-28* Neben dem offensichtlichen (physikalischen) Problem, dass der Ball immer in der Mitte spawnt und dementsprechend gradlinig auf die Wand trifft und einen Einfallswinkel von 90° hat, ist es unvorhersehbar, wie sich der Ball bewegt. Denn es scheint nicht Einfallswinkel = Ausfallswinkel zu sein. Die Steuerung ist leider starr und das Paddle dreht sich immer gleichschnell, sodass es nicht möglich ist, durch Skill entsprechend schnell zu reagieren und den Ball doch noch zu erwischen. Somit ist es nach 2 Minuten und einigem Frust schon vorbei mit dem Spaß. Desweiteren gibt es keine PowerUps, extras oder ähnliches, welche das Spiel noch spannender gestalten würden. Dass das Spiel so released wurde, finde ich etwas enttäuschend. **Developer response:** Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. All of those points are by design so unlikely to be changed, but thank you for trying it out anyway, really appreciate it. ### 3/5 — A *2023-02-15, version 1.2* Dont worry i found a way ### 3/5 — eh *2023-01-21, version 1.2* games chill ig ### 4/5 — W game *2024-12-13, version 1.4* Really fun game! It would be better if you could customize your ball, if you rage don play this!!!! ### 4/5 — Maw aswell get it *2023-07-04, version 1.3* It’s a 500KB game. It’s perfect just to have ### 4/5 — 8/10 *2023-06-18* Semplice, senza pubblicità, minimale ### 4/5 — Fun but lacks options *2023-05-25* The game itself is fun but I think it would be nice to let players decide whether not to have their devices vibrate or to change some sound/visual effects **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely take this into account for any future updates ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-09-14, version 1.4* There is no real complaint I have about this game. ### 5/5 — portrait *2025-08-19, version 1.4* love the game, mechanics really fun but i would really appreciate a portrait mode as well or maybe a one handed mode ### 5/5 — Нет рекламы *2025-01-11* И это круто ### 5/5 — Simple yet done right *2024-11-25, version 1.4* No ads… and fun = good game ### 5/5 — What A Game! *2024-09-20, version 1.4* Im a game developer myself and I love this game!
