Some time kill. It definitely has pay/ad walls. Not matter how strong you get just 2 levels farther will stop you in your tracks. Then when you get a bonus box you watch an ad. After the ad it ask if you want 10X the reward by watching another ad. WHICH YOU CAN’T. No matter how many times you click 10X it won’t run the ad to let you get the bonus. The same goes for the idle bonus when you are logged out. ### 4/5 — A ok game *2020-05-09, version 2.8* This game is...oddly satisfying. I have had no trouble with the game; you can get money easily, your abilities are saved, and it’s just fun. I will say this: please fix the targeting system because when I aim at a certain spot of there is something close to it the ball will put the marker there instead making you miss your shot ### 3/5 — Love, Hate *2020-04-11, version 2.7* I love the game itself. Use coins to increase power and to increase idle coins, coins you gain while away from the game. After one day for me the game was basically pointless. I stopped getting coins for each level and hit the max on all but the power. After a certain point, it becomes boring. Only because it gets to the point where everything is knocked down with one blow and you’re not getting coins for anything but idle. ### 2/5 — Ads *2020-02-11, version 2.4* Over all I think wreaking ball is a fun app but when ever I want more coins to upgrade my power or size or idle coins I’ll have to watch an ad but when the ad is over it always says that I’m in a location that doesn’t have service or connection so I basically watched the ad for NO reason it is very frustrating because I know I am in a spot that has service and connection. I don’t think the app is worth deleting for that reason but I HATE it I hope you can get the problem fixed because further on I might delete it ### 4/5 — Great but needs update *2020-01-06, version 2.3* It’s super captivating! I’m 20 and playing this game all the time! However the amount of ads can be frustrating and there is no way to know what level you are on or if there is even an end. Could definitely use an update but I’ve been playing for days! ### 4/5 — Worth $2.99 *2019-12-23, version 2.2* Simple but enjoyable game worth the $2.99 to remove the ads from playing between levels. Wish there was a way to see what level you were on past level 100 (when you no longer have progress towards skins to display level). ### 2/5 — I can hear the bank account from here... *2019-10-28, version 1.9* First of all, you have banner ads and pop up ads... which I can understand, it’s a free game and all, but come on. If you fail the level you’re stuck between watching an ad for 30 seconds to get two more tries, or watching an ad for 15 seconds because you failed. If you passed a level you get an ad for 5 seconds you can skip. There’s a never ending banner ad at the bottom that gets in the way of when I’m trying to get upgrades and every now and then when the banner refreshes it’ll lag a bit and the ad pops right in front of my finger right before I try to upgrade the ball... forcing me to go to whatever website the ad was for. Gaming truly isn’t like it used to be where it was for the passion and the enjoyment of making the game. Now it’s nothing but a race to make a few dollars. As a game dev in school, I will never stoop down to this level where the money part interferes with the actual gameplay. Because games are about the games. This isn’t supposed to be an ad with mini games. ### 3/5 — Game got too hard *2019-10-21, version 1.8* I liked the game at first like I could pass the levels and have fun. I played it a lot and then I didn’t play for like a few days. I tried to play it again but then the level was like 11+ billion. Then it got way too hard. I couldn’t beat it. I thought it was like a boss level like in other games. If it is can it at lest be possible on what your experience is. ### 2/5 — Room for improvement *2019-10-20, version 1.8* I have a love hate relationship with this game. It’s definitely satisfying, but is riddled with glitches and at the higher levels you don’t get the amount of turns needed for the various buildings and you are forced to watch TONS of ads. It also freezes sometimes, and has a glitch sometimes that makes you lose one of your turns every round for that level. Meaning instead a paldry 3 turns which is already not enough you get 2. ### 2/5 — I hate the new update *2019-10-19, version 1.8* Im sorry but the feature that you can upgrade the ball i get that some poeple like it but for my it makes the game seam like every other mobile game that copy's off of other games. I liked the feature where you had to hit the target and it all fell down kinda like a hole-in-one but now its basically a clicker game that you need to spend hours on to get good upgrades and the old game just depended on skill. ### 3/5 — Fun but they lie on rewards given!! *2019-10-19, version 1.8* The game is fun to play. But when it comes to getting the rewards for watching a advertisement video, they font give what is said. Example, it said x10 to get me over 90k in points to watch a video. So I watched the entire video and it only gives me double my points not the 10 times like it says. Thought it was maybe a glitch on that one. So I have tried it multiple times and to come out with the same issue. Never get the times 10. Please fix and I will give a 5 star review. Just sad that someone expects the points as advertised for watching the ad and then get gipped by ONLY getting x2 not the x10. Thanks ### 3/5 — Its fun but... *2019-10-01, version 1.8* I mean it’s satisfying if you knock the whole thing down but its not like you tap where you want the wrecking ball to go. A couple complaints and compliments: Lots of lag! Kinda clickbait! Hard to hit the right spot! Oddly satisfying! So many cubes! Cute animals and things! I like this game but it gets kinda boring after a while! Thank you for reading this review and I recommend this game if you are waiting in line for something or only have a couple minutes! ### 4/5 — Loved it until *2019-09-25, version 1.7* I loved this game until i got to the controller level and even though i knocked through all of it it’s still saying i didn’t knock them all down so I’ve been stuck on this level because it won’t let me pass it so I’ve deleted it and redownlesddd it and it’s doing the Same thing when i get to that level ### 3/5 — Good game as long as you’re cool with playing around some bugs *2019-09-24, version 1.7* This game is super satisfying but it’s kinda infuriating as you get higher in level but never receive note than three swings. Not saying you should allow ten but maybe one more swing after a certain amount of letters (I’m on AE). On top of that, not sure what I’m doing but I keep ending up with negative amounts of coins and when I try to watch a video for a reward I get hit with a “no ads available” then follows milliseconds later an ad I get no reward for. Really awesome concept and I love the game I hope that the developers could tweak it if they get a chance ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not as satisfying as it seems *2020-05-13, version 2.8* It was really fun when I started playing it but I realized something. When you hit certain spots it doesn’t make the blocks fall. It’s like brick. It makes it really hard to pass levels and I passed most of them just by watching a video to get 2 more moves. I do that probably 10 times and then finally finish the level. I downloaded this game for satisfaction when the wrecking ball hits the cubes but if it’s just gonna be a brick wall when it hits then what’s the point in trying to pass the level?? Please fix this and make it easier to pass the levels. ### 1/5 — This should not exist *2020-03-15, version 2.6* I just downloaded this first I realized major lag at least 9fps terrible graphics and the only reason I downloaded this game is because the add looked absolutely great in graphics and fps so never get games before looking at the reviews after I downloaded it I looked at the reviews and I saw like 10 1 star ratings just never get this game the company Popcore should definitely get rid of the game write after I wrote this review I instantly deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Not enjoying this game... *2019-12-13, version 2.2* Okay so I downloaded this game on my phone so I have a few apps to play while I’m bored but this honestly has way to many ads with the game itself, they also don’t even entertain you and I get this is supposed to be a nice satisfying game to play but this game is very hard to play. Here we are to my main complaint that makes this game almost IMPOSSIBLE, how much ads they put is an ordinary complaint but the hole point of the game itself is very hard and won’t get you calmed or enjoyed of it, this game itself is impossible after only 3 rounds when you start the hole game is very hard and when it hits it makes you very disappointed that you only had 5 tries and not even half of the thing broke. Plus if you wanted to have another 2 tries you would have to watch an ad but after those 2 tries the game still hasn’t finished and you now have to watch another AD and makes a waste of time if you want to actually enjoy the game. I spent 5 ads on ONLY ONE level and it took me SO long. Unless you want to waste your time on ads then this game might be for you but if your like me then this game is just terrible and a waste of your space. Thank you for reading my opinion on this game, hope it helps you before you start to download random things! ### 1/5 — How does this game have such high reviews *2019-12-09, version 2.2* Insane amount of ads, ignores the laws of physics, I had something floating in the air that didn’t fall. Once you play a few levels it’s impossible to even finish a level without watching four ads to get more moves. Very stupid. I pay real money to play lots of games and this one is just a drag. It would be very fun with fewer (or zero) ads and making it actually possible to win with the allotted moves without watching 100 stupid and very long ads between each turn. It makes people lose interest really quickly when every 15 seconds of gameplay is interrupted by a 45 second ad. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2019-12-09, version 2.2* This game lived in my phone for years without me even looking at it. And when I had a lot of storage wasted I got rid of this game first. I’ll tell you why. Reason number one this game has a MILLON ADS and they are after every level!! And I spend more time looking at them than the game. Reason number two the concept of this game is not developed, the summery would be: wreak stuff with a ball. And after some time it just gets boring. Reason number three I downloaded this game again to see if anything had changed and the update just ruined it much much more. Reason number four they don’t really have much more to do in the game it’s just wreaking stuff which gets CRAZY boring after you pass level 50ish and then you basically have nothing to do after that. Reason number five it’s not worth your time reason number six and if your here reading reviews than take my warning for the sake of your storage and your fun don’t get this game it’s just not worth it ### 1/5 — A D S and the cringe of this game *2019-11-21, version 1.9* A lot of the reviews talk about this but I think we should get it through the developers mind that the ads actually make the game unenjoyable. you might as well take the song that goes its beginning to look a lot like Christmas and sing about it but it’s about ads and you have this game. The power feature is just ... cringe. It’s really the only thing you need to complete the game. Sometimes it can take a lot of time to complete a level. Fix your game please. ### 1/5 — The gravity and ads are bringing me down... *2019-10-07, version 1.8* Either the physics tuning is off, or they desperately want me to watch adds for more shots... on my third level (a potted plant), I literally destroyed all of the trunk, and the rest of plant above the trunk was still floating and would not fall! I immediately get a popup to watch an add to get 2 more shots. Hahahaha. The next level, I am given a deer to destroy. After 3 successful shots at the SAME LEG, no damage is taking place at all. Again, I am offered to watch an ad for 2 more shots. The best part? Even if you decline the offer and tap “no thanks,” they will still show you a forced interstitial ad (that I’ve already seen 3x in the past couple of minutes). I don’t mind ads, but making the game gravity-defying difficult within the first 3 minutes of gameplay is a bad sign. Delete. ### 1/5 — gobacktotheoriginal *2019-09-29, version 1.8* I’m really sad 😢 , because this used to be my favorite game🤩. They recently put out a new update that is absolutely horrible and ruined the game for me😩. This game used to be so good. The levels were really fun, simple, and satisfying🥰 Now there is no way to even knock things down anymore because I was on a really far lever before the update and the game is broken. There is no power scale or targets which makes the game really boring and just annoying😡😭 My friend and I also noticed that the “random design” for your wrecking ball was never random because we got the exact same designs in the exact same order but that didn’t really bother me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #gobacktotheoriginal is what I’m going to try to put in my reviews often in hope that the game makers see it. It would be great if you could help spread it by putting it in your reviews but you definitely don’t have too it’s just an idea ¯\_(•~•)_/¯ I wish there was a way to give a 0 star review, can the makers please fix the game Thank you for taking the time to read this I really appreciate it🙂 ### 1/5 — Terrible Update for Long Time Players. *2019-09-23, version 1.7* If you are just now downloading this game, it may be fantastic. But, for those of us who have had since close to release, the new update made it virtually impossible to play. I had hundreds of levels beaten just as a pass time, but now they added a feature where you have to have power and size upgrades. My upgrades start as if I had just bought the game and my progress is the same. So now I can’t even move a single block STILL after two days of upgrading. So, they will most likely do something like this in the future, as this developer tends to do and screw up on multiple occasions. ### 1/5 — This game isn’t satisfying anymore *2019-09-21, version 1.7* This is one of those games where the developers think they just make a good change but they didn’t. I logged in after a month and everything is different. There is leveling now, and the cash that you get is used for useless upgrades. The worst thing of all is that I can’t break a single block. There are some instances where I would break a block but that happened every 10 turns. I’m just saying that you need to fix your game for the better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great game but... *2021-03-23, version 2.16* So I really like the game but it overheats my phone easily, and I think it would be cool if there can be a section where you can like put in your own photos or make your own shape to smash but that’s just a suggestion! ### 5/5 — Some levels *2021-03-13, version 2.16* In some of the levels there is one little problem when you hit the mark where you marked it sometimes it won’t even fall down like it is supposed to, even if it is the major pin point for damage. Please fix this! ### 5/5 — Better than expected *2020-01-11, version 2.3* I really liked the castle wreck game, had no problems at all, but after 400+ levels, it got old. Same principle with this game but at least more variety and kind of a Zen vibe. I dig it 👍🏼 The only things I hope for in future updates are a coin for continue option, and a lot more skins for purchase/leveling. ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable app! *2019-10-19, version 1.8* Overall, this game is very entertaining. I find this app not only appealing, but quite soothing as well. Although I have many pleasant things to say about this game, there are some things that could be improved. In my opinion, I don’t like the fact that some of these levels are too easy. To some, this might be found enjoyable but not in my case. Another thing is that there aren’t as many skins to chose from as I would prefer. But then again, some may feel differently about this. Lastly, I would recommend eliminating some of the many commercials added throughout the app, for this is something that may withdraw gamers. In conclusion I find this game incredibly addicting and I think that others will relate to my opinion after playing this game! ### 5/5 — Its fun but it need more levels. *2019-08-11, version 1.5* So. I finally got to level 100🥳 but then literally 3 levels later a message says I have reached the end of the levels... Personally I play games like this to have fun. But what ruins the fun is having to restart all the way from level one! ### 5/5 — Skip button *2019-07-18, version 1.5* My only issue with this game is the placement of the skip button. I am always pressing the skip button while trying to smash the blocks.i think it’s just a really bad placement of the button. The game its self though is super satisfying and fun. ### 5/5 — Sooooo cute! *2019-07-15, version 1.5* This reminds me of an ad I saw with this giant beautiful cube thingy explode into tons of smaller ones, then this. I love it when the ball makes the sculptures explode, truly terrifying! Good thing there aren’t too many levels, cause I was trying out this thingamajig. Also saw another cute ad in it for some ball paint and it had the same thing but with a giant sphere instead. ### 5/5 — Awesome game but one little request *2019-07-07, version 1.3* I really like this game. This game is really cool and very fun. I would to request one update on this game. can you developers add TNT to the game if like you lose a level. Also with feature on TNT I want you developers to be able to put the TNT anywhere on the sculpture. If you do add the TNT to the game, thank you. 😀 ### 4/5 — Fun but one thing… *2022-06-06, version 2.22* So I do love this game I like the concept of it but you should add more colors in the background like that would be best and like you did good side and if you hit the middle I believe that you should get the whole thing done! Please fix this problem thanks! ### 4/5 — Very Enjoyable! *2021-04-23, version 2.18* I think that this game is very enjoyable besides a few things! The first reason why is because I feel like sometimes there is too many adds, but a balanced amount other times! Reason two is that I feel like sometimes the game doesn’t save your progress. For example: I sometimes make it up to trillions in up in levels, then next time I play it resets. See what I mean? Maybe improve on that a bit, unless it’s just a bug, then I understand. My third and final reason is why do you have to watch adds to redo challenges? Why can you not just pay more coins? Those were all my suggestions, every other part of the game is just fine to me! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
