Good vision.

I love this game, a really good vision for old-school, I just have 1 suggestion, when you get a “1 extra ball power-up,” it should be yellow, just like the picture, and when you get 2 extra balls, they should be red and blue, again, just like the picture, but the only problem is, whenever you play a level, why do you start with only one heart? why not 2? I mean, there’s a space for one more heart, it’s not like it’s an extra. You know what would make this cool? If there was a Soft-Body version of the gameplay, embodying the ideas I typed in this review, Speaking of which, *now focusing on *THE* idea*, this is the main reason I like the game, it’s rebirthing the idea *AND VISUAL* of Retro Tennis, *the visual is 2 lines, a border, and a ball* *Like An Average School Breakfast*, if you’re an adult, There’s A Highly Likely Chance YOU LOVE Old-School games, but though..

REVIEW

THIS GAME IS FUN
HOW MANY LEVELS ARE THERE??????????

A few BIG problems

I love this game but it has a few tweaks that need to be made one it’s stupid but the screen is to big for my phone so I can’t see all the blocks so that kinda takes a star of and another star is the instant death drops are two common and it’s really annoying because the game is just like chance because of how common the death drops are one last thing is you need to get three stars in each level but sometimes you get the star on the very last block so this makes it seriously impossible for you to get all three stars so you have to do it again but don’t get me wrong. This game is really fun. It’s easy and has tons of levels not to mention the sound effects are really soothing obviously the developer doesn’t really care about these reviews because there’s been tons of complaints about the screen being too big and it’s never changed

Old school

This game is a classic.. brings me so much happiness. Everyday I have to play at least 2 levels

Amazing games

Such a goood game! Thanks x

Great old school game

I just completed all 1700 levels!

Good reaction training game

I was looking for a game to train reaction speed for myself and my kids. The game was simple but very effective. It was fun so keep you engaged but not over stimulating like a lot of the newer games are. I do wish it has a paid version so I can have no ads and also have a setting on the app that limits the time the app can be used per day.

S’ sly flay, SLAY

Poor placement of Ads

Ads cover top part of the screen, thus you can not see your stats

What a Waste

Unplayable. Deleted within 1 minute.

Favorite game that I won’t end up deleting

I am notorious for downloading games, playing a day or 2 and then deleting because the ads are so invasive or the side quests/story lines are so annoying. I love this game because I can just simply play for as short as a minute or two or longer. I like that it saves my progress. I’m on level 115. It reminds me a bit of an old game on Commodore 64 called Krakout. Definitely will be keeping this one.

Just some improvements

I already accidentally cancelled my review a couple times so I’ll make it short

So, this game is AMAZING and I have massive respect, I hate that modern mobile devs are just grinding out terrible and greedy games so seeing an honest game by good people makes me happy.

So first off, if the last block has a star you can’t get it, so I say stars should appear every 1/4, 2/4, and 3/4 of blocks destroyed, if 1/4 of blocks is 4.25 then the 5th block has a star and if it’s 6 then the 6th block. Make them override power ups to avoid confusion.

Also, It would help a ton if the position of the paddle that balls hit affected the angle they move. If they hit the middle they go straight up, far left they go 35-45 degrees up and to the left, (amount is your choice) same with the far right, and then calculate everywhere inbetween. There are many instances that the ball bounces like the dvd logo between corners for a while before finally hitting a block, and it would also just add more complexity and skill ceiling. This one is my top priority.

Some minor ones would be giving momentum to scrolling, to make it faster and smoother. The main menu should let you go to level select. The gun power up is unable to stack with itself. And making sure the blocks are even with the grid, because apparently they aren’t.

I’ve noticed that there’s some randomness to how the ball angles off of blocks, if you start a level and the ball goes left, then starting the level again with it still going left could give it a different trajectory. This could be due to the unevenness in blocks.

I do have to say something about the graphics and especially the power up graphics, but I can’t say about how to improve it.

Other reviews seem to talk about ads making sound when the game is muted and also about a bug that frames the game bigger than the screen but I haven’t tested or experienced these.

This game is way better

The other blockbuster tried to make me pay to continue over and over

No pay to disable ads option

I adore this game, it’s simple yet brilliant. Unfortunately the pay-to-remove ads option isn’t there despite being advertised on the App Store, which means the permanent presence of an ad at the top of the screen which pops back up the second you ‘X’ to get rid of it. I’d rate this 5 stars if it wasn’t for the irritating ads.
