With Bricksy you have to shoot at bricks to decrease their count as soon as they arrive the bottom of your screen. The more balls you catch during your gameplay, the easier it is to keep alive. It's very easy to play and absolutely fun, because it's completely ad-free and you don't have to pay for anything. But if you like to beat your friends highscore with a little help, you can buy additional shots after you're already game over.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Army holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Army has 4.4K ratings behind it against 271, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Bricksy's written reviews are positive against 31% of The Army's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bricksy ships an update every 5 days, The Army every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
