### 4/5 — 広告の配慮

*2026-02-15*

長いcmでも自分のタイミングで流せるならいいけど急に流れ出したら一気に冷める。
2.3分位の長いものだったからちょっとした空き時間に流れだすと困る。

### 2/5 — Great game but crashing

*2025-11-21, version 1.0.7*

Really enjoyed the game, played from level 1 a few times to upgrade, but won’t load level 17 and just crashes out.

### 2/5 — Really sad

*2025-09-13, version 1.0.5*

It’s really sad what happened to this game. It was and still is a great game but it used to be totally free except for “gifts”. Now it’s absolutely stuffed with ads that cost money to remove 💔

### 4/5 — Apple TvOS please

*2025-08-28, version 1.0.4*

Since it left Apple Arcade, this game no longer supports tvOS anymore
Please dear developers, make it possible for me/us to play it on a bigger screen

### 4/5 — the game is very good but the falls do too much damage

*2025-07-23*

it’s overall very fun but later on the falls can one-shot you without feather.can you nerf the fall or buff feather?

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback on fall damage! We'll look at that. Appreciate the review.

### 2/5 — Lag

*2025-04-29, version 1.0.4*

Pinball is about lightning quick reflexes. This game has a strong lag between button touch and the flipper moving. Otherwise seems like a cool game. I can’t play it though.

### 4/5 — No satisfying pinball feel

*2025-04-28*

I really like the idea but the game just feels clunky. You never get that satisfying feeling of the ball going crazy racking up points. It feels like the obstacles are right there to block you and makes the gameplay feel awkward and frustrating.

### 3/5 — Several bugs

*2025-04-19*

I have been really enjoying playing this game, but there are some bugs that keep popping up:

- Text in pop-up boxes doesn’t appear (even with the latest update).
- Sound effects and music don’t turn off when I change the settings.
- The game freezes at level 21f. I can play a round but then the screen goes blank with the wizard icon running.

This would be one of my favorite games if these issues were fixed. I love the art style and the gameplay is relaxing but still challenging at times.

### 3/5 — 미묘해요

*2025-04-09*

음악이 좋아요. 캐릭터도 귀여워요. 몬스터도 귀여워요.

다만 불합리하게 느껴지는 요소가 좀 있어요. 예를 들면 슬라임이 아직 파랗다고 생각했는데 데미지를 받아요.

컨트롤이 아주 자유로운 게임은 아니니 슬라임이 빨갛게 되기 전부터 경고가 있으면 좋을 것 같습니다.

또한 스킬을 얻거나 레벨업을 해도 진행이 확 쉬워지는게 아니라서 동기부여가 약해요. 스킬은 없는 것 보단 낫지만 있다고 막 재밌진 않은 것 같아요.

마지막으로 조금 더 유저가 캐릭터의 움직임을 컨트롤 할 수 있는 여지를 줘야한다고 생각해요.

이미 발사를 해서 내 손을 떠났는데 슬라임한테 쳐맞고 뒤지는 모습을 보면 무력감을 느껴요.

실력이 늘어서 스테이지를 클리어했다는 느낌이 없어요. 걍 운이 충분히 좋을때까지 시도하는 느낌입니다.

달리기 스킬을 개편해보는 것이 가장 현실적이면서 재미를 챙길 수 있는 방안같아요. 예를 들면 달리기를 누르면 3단 달리기를 하되 각각 빠르게 돌아가는 화살표를 2초안에 선택해야 되는 식으로요. 컨트롤의 여지도 늘어서 유저스스로 능동적 플레이가 가능하다고 느끼게 될 것이고 또한 빠른템포로 긴박감도 줄 수 있을듯해요

### 2/5 — Không vui

*2025-02-21, version 1.0.4*

Khó chơi
Gây ức chế

### 4/5 — Very good but has some unfortunate bugs!

*2025-02-06*

So I’ve been playing this game A LOT this past week. I’m at the last level of the tower, 21, and something seems to have triggered. Any time I finish a level (dungeon or tower), the lil avatar goes to run off the screen, and they freeze on the right and run in place while never showing me my score or loot haul. I also can’t update any skills without the app freezing. I was really enjoying this game so I’d love some help with this!

### 1/5 — LONG and FREQUENT ADS. greedy.

*2026-08-05, version 1.0.8*

^

### 1/5 — Ad free option?

*2026-04-11, version 1.0.7*

I can’t find a place to pay for an ad free version, is it not an option? It’s ruining the game experience I can’t stand ads and when I like the game I don’t mind spending that coin to actually experience the game. Please help

### 1/5 — 2 minute ads

*2025-12-07, version 1.0.7*

Was interesting until unskippable 2 minute ads started playing every level after the 3rd stage

### 1/5 — Not working!!!! Dont get past the loading screen!

*2025-11-27, version 1.0.7*

It never loads to the game just shows purple background and spinning square

### 1/5 — Not working!!!!

*2025-11-16, version 1.0.7*

It never loads to the game just shows purple background and spinning square

### 1/5 — No Mac or tvOS support

*2025-11-09, version 1.0.7*

Unlike the previous Arcade edition, the developer was too lazy to spend the several hours (at most) to keep the Mac and tvOS versions around. Additionally, the ads in the free version of this game are aggressive and open the App Store even if you skip them.

### 1/5 — Greedy traitors

*2025-09-11*

This use to be a free game with no adds. I just downloaded the update and now it’s a “free” game WITH adds. Currently it costs $3 to “remove” the adds but if this update is any indication of the direction the devs are going, they will find a way to have adds even after you pay to “remove” them and/or they are going to have a monthly subscription model

**Developer response:** We apologize for being greedy. And appreciate your support, with sincerity. It’s too bad our children need to eat food and we have to pay our rent. Sometimes the world just isn’t fair.

### 1/5 — Not nearly what I expected

*2025-04-30, version 1.0.4*

OK, first your flippers don’t work good
Second of all your ball doesn’t roll like a ball. It jumps around like a little whatever. 
It doesn’t play like pinball 
Your flippers don’t work right 
When you hit the ball, it goes at one speed, full speed no variations 
You really can’t control what you’re doing 
Good pinball player knows these things 
I’m saying your game is not worth my effort 
I truly gave it a legitimate try your flippers don’t work right your ball don’t roll right it’s not pinball. It’s no fun.

### 1/5 — 爛

*2025-03-27, version 1.0.4*

難玩 每關都很拖

### 1/5 — 조작감 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

*2024-10-21*

3층에서 진행이 불가 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 하루종일 밑에서 허덕이다 지움 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

### 5/5 — Tremendo

*2025-02-20, version 1.0.4*

Es muy entretenido y sirve mucho de para matar el tiempo. Simplemente es un juego de los buenos

### 5/5 — Really fun!

*2025-02-01*

I expected the simple nature to get old fast but even something as simple as pinball can be very challenging and rewarding to master. Playing for a while and not a single ad. Give it a try, that’s all I’m saying.
