### 5/5 — This is a really cool game

*2026-07-27*

Thank you very much for this game. A lot of cool mechanics and similar season tournaments. Enjoy it a lot.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2026-07-27, version 1.0.55*

The game wont let me open my save to it.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-07-22, version 1.0.55*

Wish it was more challenging and added more player machenics and skills 
Please add 2 handed backhand

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2026-07-21, version 1.0.55*

Absolutely zero ads unless you choose
To watch them. Very fun to play and I feel like I earn every win. Only downside is when u upgrade everything, there’s nothing else to do but win. Not complaining about winning though. Great game

### 3/5 — Great game, just one problem

*2026-07-17*

Don’t get me wrong, this game is great and they added many amazing tiny details to the game, but there is one issue. Whenever you start a match, it almost always makes you come back from a 3-5 or down one game and 4-4 no matter your rank or skill ratings. I’m sure this is definitely on purpose to make the game more exciting and make it so that you have to come back but it isn’t realistic. Say your rank is top ten, and round one you’re facing a player whose rank is 100. You would think when you are first able to play the match, you’re winning, but you would be tied 4-4 and deuce or something similar. I just think the ranking system or skill ratings should play a much bigger factor than they are right now. Now this is just my opinion, but I think it would improve the game a lot more and make it more realistic.

### 3/5 — Good game

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.55*

Great game overall but it is very frustrating when you are the number one in the world and continuously lose the first set to people who aren’t even ranked.

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible

*2026-07-12, version 1.0.55*

I expect so much more from this company both retro bowls and retro goal are fantastic but this game just sucks there’s literally no aiming it’s just luck and if you get the timing right very disappointed plus the micro transactions make it borderline unplayable unless you want to sit through adds

### 5/5 — Rewarding really enjoyable game

*2026-07-05*

I think some of the reviews here did not overcome the learning curve of the game. It is very enjoyable and as you progress through the game it becomes easier and easier. Would recommend it to everyone, brilliant game!
