ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Break Bricks holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Break Bricks has 68K ratings behind it against 160, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Bubble Ball's written reviews are positive against 17% of Break Bricks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble Ball ships an update every 2 months, Break Bricks fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
