Meh
It’s an alright game for a few hours or so. Unfortunately it gets very repetitive very quickly. On top of that it is legitmately comical how unbalanced the difficulty modes are. Normal is laughably easy compared to Hard. I mean the game went from being a slight challenge to an RNG headache. Hard doesn’t make me feel more challenged gameplay wise, it just hurries you more and you take more damage allowing for nearly zero mistakes. Wish it were better, but I can only recommend maybe unlocking all the characters on normal, then moving on to the next time-waster.

Very addictive.
Worth the five stars, just took awhile to get used to using both buttons on the mouse for the flippers
Try it you will be drawn in too.

Fun game, but insane difficulty spike
Like most of the reviewers here, I absolutely cannot get past the Level 3 boss Stone Face. He has WAY too much health and spawns so many clones that it’s overwhelming. I can’t even get him to 50% health because it’s so difficult, which I find ridiculous, because the rest of the game is too easy! I made it all the way to this boss on my first run without dying a single time and now I just can’t get past. Overall it’s a decent game (even though there are numerous spelling and grammatical errors that really take me out of the game) but once you get to Stone Face your game is over.

Fun but limited
You complete levels, defeat bosses, then change to a harder game mode and all the upgrades are lost, why? Why build up characters of every game they go back to base levels?
Can y’all add the option to save your progress?
This game is fun and all but I wish I Can save my progress like I was at the lava level and I lost and I end up in the beginning of the game and that was so aggravating to start all over again. What the point of adding the "new game" and "gallery" if u can’t save your progress.
One of the best, but buggy
I’m playing the penguin princess and just spent literally 45 minutes fighting a boss. Towards the end it wasn’t fun just tedious. Once I finally defeated boneface, I started down the path to the next portal and now I just run in place forever. Quit and restart same diff. No tech support on your website. Coupled with the repeated failed touch registers and no life level indicator plus too tiny type and it’s just not ready for release. Fix these major bugs and it’s the greatest.

Questionable Control
Game is moderately fun, but suffers from control issues. Many of the acquired skills have instructions for controller buttons or keyboard commands, but guess what?? I’im using an iPad and the game doesn’t connect to my controller, nor will accept commands from my BT keyboard. Is this the best Apple can do for a paid subscription?
So far, I’m glad that I’m using a trial version of Apple Arcade. There are a few good games, but nothing better than I can get for free or close to free if im willing to suffer through a few ads.

Love the game!
I am addicted. I’ve been playing this game pretty much every day for weeks.
Love it.
The only thing is this: the English localization is awful. It’s full of grammatical errors, and poor translations. It’s so bad that I’m not sure what some of the power-ups actually do. I’d love a better English version, but the game itself is spot on.

Very fun but confusing
I really enjoy the game! Roguelikes are fun and it's cool using the different characters and the unpredictability of what you're going to pick up and I feel like the challenge level is right. The only thing I don't like is that I have no clue what's going on really. I know the game is a sequel but I don't want to have to play the first one to understand the second one. There's a loose plot, and I have no idea how to get the other endings. Also some of the smaller mechanics aren't explained very well. Sometimes the pinball shrinks and it can slide right between the flippers. No clue why that happens or how to avoid it.
So overall, very fun to play. Good mix of skill, luck and just having fun. But I have no idea what's going on really

I would give it more stars, but it crashes too often
I have really enjoyed the game, but now I’ve reached a point where the game crashes every battle on a current generation IPad Air. I don’t know if it puts too many effects out there than it can process at one time, but seeing a hard crash over and over at the same battle is very unusual for an Arcade title, most of which run smoothly.

Insane mode crashes/sticks at final boss
One of my absolute favorite Apple Arcade games! One problem, I finally “beat” the Final boss on Insane mode with a character only to have him NOT disappear, I continued to defeat him multiple times but if I walked into the final portal nothing would happen. After my forth time defeating him he finally disappeared but so did the portal. Any thoughts? Simply a bug or a metaphorical insight into the fact that the game represents life and we are never done fighting? Thanks and again, great game!!

Surprisingly fun.
This game is a blast. Not sure what keeps me coming back, but I need to get all the achievements. Would be cool to have a free play mode to see how far I could get to keep the game from getting stale.
Won't even open
I've tried several times to play this, to no avail. Each time I hit "Get" it seems to download and install, appears in launchpad on my MBP, but after trying to launch it, it does nothing but sit in the dock. If you go back to the app store, it still says "Get" and will try to download itself again. Going to the support link takes you to the developer site, where the game isn't even listed as an option for support. Not worht the effort.

Could be fun
As with most pinball games on a touch screen where you can’t feel any buttons, this game suffers from not touching the right spot at the right time.
I’m blown away that this game doesn’t support controllers on iOS. I thought that was a requirement for the arcade? Considering it’s the only way to play it on Apple TV.
When the game first came out it supported controllers and had a few bugs (which is clearly why they chose to drop controller support) but it was great! Very fun game. Great graphics, great gameplay, and the difficulty was good, but I’m glad they changed it a bit.
I’m keeping this game downloaded for the day I can play it again with my Nimbus+, but I’m not holding my breath.

No save points???
I love this game but (and maybe I’m missing something) if you die, you have to start all the way back at the very beginning again. Why does the game not save and force you back to the beginning of whatever new part of the map you’re on? I’ve had to play the forest so many flipping times and it’s kind of killing the game for me. If I’ve got it set wrong, please let me know because this is going to make me uninstall the app soon enough.

Way better than the original
I remember downloading the first iteration of this game and being disappointed. Clearly the developer took lessons from it and improved on every single aspect of the game. Right now I’ve completed normal and hard with everyone except Pennie (who I can’t even beat normal on with) and am trying to get my first hero win on extreme mode. Extreme mode is toughhhhh you have to learn how the support and ball skills work and fortune upon a run where you get some exploitable combination to pwn with.
Aside from that I love the rogue like repeating runs aspect. Unlock road I don’t get why you can’t scroll back to earlier sections of the road already completed. Sometimes I don’t even get a chance to see what I’m unlocking if it moves to the next segment?!
Also I don’t see what tower defense there is other than the bell tower and I guess the totem bombs. Still, despite the lack of TD (I’m a huge TD fan) the game is still a ton of fun, a real gem in the market.
A hidden gem that inspired me to write this review, out of a sense of community mutual benefit. Hopefully someone out there will pay me back by making note via review of any other gem games that might otherwise fly undervalued and under the radar.

Very fun game with some frustrating bugs
I’ve been enjoying this game a lot — fun, fast paced, nice extensive development of difficulty level. Unfortunately, there are some very irritating and frustrating bugs. For example, sometimes the ballista reshoot and the ultimate skill vanish from the battles, never to return. Curses can stick after they’ve ended. I can’t figure out how to get to the tutorial level so I can’t unlock that achievement. And so on. Fix the bugs and it will really be one of the best of Apple Arcade.

Fun Game, Great Concept
Can’t give it the full five stars due to a bug at the final boss that continuously makes your ball disappear after launch, deducting 17 health each time. You fight your way to the end only to get screw. Not sure why this happens but when it does, you’ll know it.
Love this game but . .
I love this game! It is becoming my Apple Arcade game. Love the game play and the combination of pinball and tower defense. The play is easy and fun. The story is cute and adds to the game. I do have one small complaint. The flipper buttons move to different locations through out the game. Sometime they are close to and past the edge of the iPad screen. This makes it much harder to control the flippers. I would love to see a setting to relocate the filler buttons and have them stay in one spot. This is a minor complaint and I hope it is fixed in future software update.

So much FUN!
I can honestly say that I am slightly addicted to this game.I'm surprised there are many reviews for it. It's very entertaining and it defintely hold my concentration. I am a little curious about the ending after the boss. Are there going to be other levels or a 2nd game? Either way, it's a must have game!
