### 4/5 — It’s good - Can you fix win/lose circle doesn’t go away at end game

*2022-08-06*

It’s a nice game and challenging.  Maybe make the discs slightly larger. And most importantly the win-lose circle does not disappear at the end of the game. You have to force close the app and then start a new game.

### 4/5 — Simply fun

*2022-07-16, version 3.0*

Perfect game concept for iPhones. For a 5-star rating this needs a running tally of wins and losses and ability to play online opponents. However, when playing on my iPad the golden circle that appears at the conclusion of games doesn’t disappear for the subsequent game, and scores at the top of the screen often fail to match the scores where pucks are positioned.

### 4/5 — springshot

*2011-01-26, version 1.2*

Like the game but can't get sound.  Also when stones cross the end line they don't drop down and can bounce back in to scoring zone.

### 4/5 — A Classic!!!

*2011-01-16, version 1.2*

Fun game, it would be better if the winner of each round shoots first, not always red. Then I would call it a 5 star classic.

### 4/5 — Springshot

*2010-11-26, version 0*

Suggested user selectable options for starting color.
1. Alternate between red and blue 
2. Highest score from last round is first
3. Highest total score is first

### 5/5 — Just like the classic!

*2010-01-18, version 0*

A new-age touch version of classic old-fashion fun! I used to play this as a kid with my friend and neighbor. 

Now I can experience the fun all over again without the giant board on my floor. Great game and well worth the dollar!

### 4/5 — Blast from the past

*2010-01-03, version 0*

Takes me back to my childhood! Simple, fun game. Only negative is that in one player you are always red, which means you never get the final pressure shot. Any chance of an update to fix this and get 5 stars?

### 5/5 — Nicely done!

*2009-12-14, version 0*

The physics of the pucks are just about perfect. My recollection of the original game, however, is that the green area is actually a pit, and once a puck lands in there it's out of play. In this version, pucks in play often bounce off pucks in the pit. It's small problem, though, and definitely doesn't take anything away from the game.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2009-12-13, version 0*

This is a great game and it was implemented very well.  The game is well worth the price!

### 5/5 — Just like the original

*2009-11-20, version 0*

I had this game as a child. Loved it then and love it now. Very nice job!

### 1/5 — Game play randomly turns sound off up to 20 times each game

*2024-12-23, version 3.0*

If you are into accidentally silent games, this is for you!

Used to be fun.  Sound bug has taken it all away.

UPDATE: TOUCHING the game silences game play!  There is no way to play with sound.

### 1/5 — Game Eventually Becomes Unplayable

*2022-06-29, version 3.0*

After a week or so, every time I hit the disc it would bounce off the size and never leave the throw zone - THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE A LEGAL THROW was to hit it so weakly it went less than halfway.  There was no way to make another point - not so of my opponent, though!

So the game sat at 16-16 for 30 minutes. The game could only end if I made myself lose.  It was literally impossible to win, only prolong the game infinitely!

### 1/5 — Looks like fun

*2022-06-19, version 3.0*

I love shuffle board!  But why can’t I get past the fault line on my second throw?   It just bounces off the fault line???????

### 1/5 — Graphics are dreadful

*2012-11-23, version 1.2*

Please improve this. Takes me back to my childhood. But even then computer graphics were better than this. Iphone 4 onwards has retina display therefore please cater for the majority of users. 

Thought I would get a lot more for the money

### 2/5 — Great concept, poor implementation

*2022-06-19, version 3.0*

Love the concept and actual game, but the physics are pretty poor and it doesn’t work very well.

### 3/5 — Looks Fun!

*2022-06-21, version 3.0*

This game gets great reviews and looks fun, but there are no instructions provided. Like one reviewer wrote, “ it looks good but how do I get past the fault line?”
Same.

### 3/5 — Graphics issue

*2022-06-20, version 3.0*

Fun game but the circle doesn’t leave the center of the screen at the end of the game.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2022-06-19, version 3.0*

I believe these problems can be easily sorted:
1. Human always have red and always plays firs. Would be good to alternate with AI. 
2. After completion of game there is a circular note staying in the middle of picture making difficult to see if you wish to play another game. Have to shut and relaunch app every time you wish to play again, annoying!
3. Would be nice to see how many more round to the end of game. 
4. After while sounds are bit boring. Other instruments/sounds could be added such mandolin, ukulele, piano, electronic, etc you name it ;)

### 3/5 — Ok

*2010-05-06, version 0*

Takes me back along time ago playing a board game called rebound needs more added in my opinion maybe some different game modes

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2023-03-15, version 3.0*

Just a couple things. Sometimes the sound quits, then comes back next game. How about scoring like shuffleboard? And then whichever color scores goes first next round. This has got potential! Nice job!

Forgot one thing.  It needs a puck indicator.  Did I shoot two or three?  Is this my last shot or not?

### 5/5 — Unique and Great Game

*2025-09-30, version 3.0*

There is no other game like it in the App Store. It is my favorite quick game. 
I really enjoy this game. I am hoping it stays updated as the new OS keep coming out. 
Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Fun & simple

*2022-06-24, version 3.0*

Cool little game to waste some time on. Wish the computer was better though.

### 5/5 — Fun Fidget Game

*2022-06-12, version 3.0*

Dope game to decompress 💯

### 5/5 — Sweet game!!!

*2014-09-10, version 1.2*

I used to play this in real life as a kid in the 90's on a counter top!!  So glad someone built this app.. But it would be so much better if two people could play on their respective phones over wifi...??? How's about it folks??

### 5/5 — Great game with a few suggestions

*2014-09-07, version 1.2*

Have the leader of each round gets to throw second. Also, the game should keep track of win/losses against the computer. Third, it would be nice to choose difficulty level when playing the computer.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2011-07-06, version 1.2*

This is a blast from the past. Fun, addictive and very compelling. I agree with the first reviewer you need an option to change colour and maybe a few more game modes.

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2010-06-21, version 0*

I really like this game and it's quite
addictive

### 5/5 — Great game, but...

*2010-05-16, version 0*

This is a very fun and addicting game, However there is one major flaw in the process/rules of the game. Every round the red stones get thrown first, giving the blue stone thrower the advantage of having  the last shot in every round. You should change the game or give the option to alternate who starts each round just to make it a bit more fair. In other words, the red stones go first one round and then the blue stones go first the next and then the red, etc. Other than this minor flaw, this game is a blast!

### 5/5 — Awesome and Addicting

*2010-02-24, version 0*

Just an all around fun game to pass the time. Beware though it can become very addicting but in a good way.

The overall functionality and design and sound effects are great and the game is allot of fun. 

This is a must have game for your iPhone.

### 5/5 — Great multiplayer

*2010-02-15, version 0*

Lot of fun to pass time with your friends
