You can also go back and replay any level you've already passed, at any time (Choose Level). If you're stuck on a really tricky level, skip it!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bricks Breaker Quest at 4.3 against ao's 3.3. Bricks Breaker Quest also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 153) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). ao's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 38%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bricks Breaker Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bricks Breaker Quest has 18K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of ao's written reviews are positive against 38% of Bricks Breaker Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ao ships an update every 2 months, Bricks Breaker Quest every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
