### 5/5 — ball

*2025-04-19, version 2.1.11*

I like the part where Jake obtains a gun and starts absolutely blasting the ball

### 5/5 — Now that's an awesome game

*2025-03-08, version 2.1.11*

I love this game so much!! I remember playing this game back in 2015 or 2016 I believe.

### 4/5 — Bug

*2024-05-09, version 2.1.11*

So I've been obsessed with this game for a while now but lately I've been annoyed with a bug. The game would just randomly show the game over menu even when I have 2 lives left. I have a video of the bug should you guys want it.  Please take a look into it as it taints the gameplay

### 5/5 — Game is great

*2024-04-24, version 2.1.11*

I love the game and bought the pro version, but my only request is that you update the game somehow, maybe add new game modes or quests.

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2024-03-13, version 2.1.11*

Game is good but noticed that when you hit "GREAT SCORE" - it pops up DURING game play and you lose! Why does the gameplay not pause? It continues while the whole screen is blocked.

Also another issue is when it lets you watch as or something - it stay on screen. i played full 2 balls with the options on screen which don’t work.

### 4/5 — Good but buggy

*2024-01-14, version 2.1.11*

I've only playing for an hour or so but in that time I've already experienced that the same bug occurs on single player, where before even getting scored on it says "3 High Score" while the game is going on it goes to the end screen

### 4/5 — Amazing. However…

*2024-01-11, version 2.1.11*

The game is sometimes buggy; it sometimes says you lost the game, whilst you are still playing, you can still and play your character but, the menue button just appears making it difficult to play

### 2/5 — Please update Please

*2024-01-02, version 2.1.11*

This game is incredible. This game has been around for awhile and I’m noticing a lot of bugs. The skins don’t work, and sometimes the end match screen shows up mid game, please update this game. This is an amazing game that needs minor tweaks at this point.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2023-12-07, version 2.1.11*

Please Develop a online PvP!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯

### 4/5 — Amazing!

*2023-10-25, version 2.1.11*

I remember when I found this game as a kid and I became ADDICTED. This game is honestly one of the best mobile games that I’ve played. And I love the protour mode. It’s super fast compared to the normal mode. Overall I give it a 9/10 only because of bugs.
