This game is very fun and I’d happily pay a dollar or two for an ad-free version so I could actually enjoy my experience. Instead, you can’t even choose to support the developers with money and are forced to suffer through repetitive, double layered ads. ### 3/5 — Terrible Controls needs to be fixed (must read) *2018-01-12, version 1.0.5* The controls aren’t the best... their is an option to invert the controls which is cool and all but their should be an option to make it so you tap and that’s where it goes instead of tap and drag ### 4/5 — spider ball! *2017-12-26, version 1.0.3* Addictive,fun and challenging game! ### 3/5 — Keeps force quitting *2017-12-21, version 1.0.3* Every level I play it force quits during the game ### 5/5 — Fun time killer *2017-12-21, version 1.0.3* Fun time killer ### 5/5 — I love this game *2017-12-21, version 1.0.3* I love this game ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2017-12-21, version 1.0.3* Best game ever ### 5/5 — Good game *2017-12-21, version 1.0.3* Good game ### 5/5 — Fun to play *2017-12-21, version 1.0.3* Fun to play ### 5/5 — Funny and amazing *2017-12-21, version 1.0.3* Funny and amazing ### 5/5 — Good *2017-12-20, version 1.0.3* Good game ### 3/5 — It's a 😒 *2017-12-19, version 1.0.2* It ok you swing but if you could like flick or type to swing it the game would be better but really you really shouldn't buy this if you don't want to be bored ### 2/5 — Вилітає *2017-12-17, version 1.0.2* Як тільки заходю в ігру, зразу вилітає!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix the controls *2019-06-12, version 1.3.0* It’s so hard to move! Also the difficulty level of level 1 to 2 is huge! Between all the levels. ### 1/5 — Decent, but excessively long ads *2018-01-06, version 1.0.4* I played a few rounds and then had to watch a 25 second ad to keep playing. That is excessive. Just make the game a paid download at that point. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Hello *2017-12-17, version 1.0.2* The worst game ever, almost every death video ad, everything is payable and unoptimized ### 1/5 — Not a game about people sticking legs out of a ball. *2017-12-16, version 1.0.2* Jacksfilms. It should be a game about 4 four people inside a giant ball, all sticking their legs out, trying to go into a goal, with another spider ball defending. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-12-15, version 1.0.2* This game sucked so bad. Nearly impossible to play and not throw your phone. I don't need this kind of stress from what's suppose to be a game. ### 2/5 — Ok *2019-07-16, version 1.3.0* I bought this game and it looked awesome but I bought and the controls were baaaaaaad. Don’t get this game ### 2/5 — Music issues *2019-06-20, version 1.3.0* When I turn music off in the settings, I expect it to remain off. Everytime I open the app I the music plays and gotta admit it’s annoying. ### 2/5 — Stupid amount of ads *2019-06-12, version 1.3.0* I hate advertisements when they’re poorly incorporated into a game. This game is fast and challenging so you fail often. There’s nothing more frustrating to me than getting ads every 5 times you fail, you end up spending as much time looking at advertisements as you do playing the actual game. ### 2/5 — Well... *2019-06-07, version 1.3.0* The controls limit you on which way you can swing which is annoying, plus you can’t do smaller swings which means whenever you want to get through tight spaces it’s almost impossible. The creators obviously didn’t test this game properly or just not for long enough. I mean no hate and I’m sorry to the people with opposite opinions. ### 2/5 — Ok *2018-01-09, version 1.0.5* I think it needs better quality ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it *2019-06-08, version 1.3.0* It is a blast I play it with my friends and they think it’s so fun thanks for the game! ### 5/5 — Very appealing *2019-06-07, version 1.3.0* Haven’t even seen the game yet and It’s already very appealing. Hope it’s as fun as it looks ### 5/5 — Dope! *2018-01-12, version 1.0.5* Can't stop playing this game. It's so addictive. Graphics are high quality, which is very important when it comes to this kind of games. I like the whole concept of it. Interesting, challenging, exciting game... Love it! ### 5/5 — Great hook shot fun! *2018-01-09, version 1.0.5* The hook shot mechanic of this game is really fun! Good challenge with simple controls. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2018-01-09, version 1.0.5* I recently found a bug in the game and after I left a review about it I was quickly contacted by the developer and he was very helpful in getting the bug fixed and rolled out a update the next day that addressed my problem. ### 5/5 — A lot of fun *2018-01-08, version 1.0.5* This is really fun and challenging game. Nice graphics, cool background music and easy to control. In the beginning it's a bit hard to use controls but after couple tries it's getting easier. The game has a lot of levels to complete and there is endless mode also. Very addictive game! ### 5/5 — awesomesauce! *2017-12-30, version 1.0.3* i really like the dynamic and design of the game! it’s simple but at the same time it’s got layers. no need to say that it’s super fun, and i even got my little brother to play hahah! keep up the good work devs! ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging *2017-12-30, version 1.0.3* Another of those "one more try" games. It got me hooked from the first level. Very interesting concept that also takes skill to learn. ### 5/5 — A ball of fun! *2017-12-29, version 1.0.3* A challenging but very engaging arcade game. I really like that I can play it with just one hand. Perfect game for short breaks and during commutes. Hoping to see more levels and update in the future. ### 5/5 — Challenging *2017-12-29, version 1.0.3* Very addictive and easy to kill spare times --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
