Ballz Reviews

This game is so fun and I am definitely addicted to it. However, I have two problems. Number one is the restart button which a lot of other people have had concerns about. I was at 2500 and had been playing that single game for about 2 months when I accidentally pressed the restart button. My life was over and it had no meaning anymore. So please get rid of this button, it is completely useless and only messes me up. Number two is a concern about the speed up button. Although it is very helpful, when you get up to the thousands like me, it really does nothing. It speeds it up a little but waiting for the balls to finish still takes a very long time. So I suggest you either put a super sonic button where it all goes in like 3 seconds or you can press a button when it is all done. This could be an option when you get to the thousands because honestly I love this game but I get so bored just sitting there and watching the balls for forever. This would also help out with when there is one ball left hitting one block until it breaks, because waiting for that kills me too. I always end up having to put my phone down and watch a show for like 10 minutes until it's done. Thank you and really hope these problems will be fixed!

Pretty solid app. It’s highly addicting which is what you want in a phone game. Just a few thoughts though. 1) Make the fast forward button always there. It’s really irritating to have to wait to turn that on. 2) What is the point of the score in the upper right? It seems to count how many rings I’ve gotten over the course of owning Ballz , but I’m not sure why that’s important. I feel like it should reset for each game or at least have some prize for reaching certain milestones. Otherwise it’s just a distracting and useless stat. 3) There should be an “end level” button for times when you’re hitting nothing and simply want the clock to run out. Sitting there waiting for 300 balls to finish hitting nothing is mind-numbing. 4) The pause button doesn’t always seem to work. Maybe make the entire screen a pause button so tapping anywhere brings you to the menu? 5) We need a leaderboard! It’d be fascinating to see all my high scores listed out. This type of stat seems standard for this type of game so it seems odd that it’s not in this one. Might be a good opportunity to incorporate friends as well, if we could have the option of comparing scores to friends. Maybe three leaderboards - individual, friends, and a universal one (all players everywhere).

I love it. Sometimes simple is better....and simple it is!..and we're talking "simple" as in "pong-simple". However, like pong, it's a simple design...but I didn't say it wasn't challenging. Because it is! Simple in design and graphics but not necessarily so in game-play. However one complaint:
If you're online while playing you're able to collect another chance to continue at the number you left off when you last lost by watching an ad and it seems you only get one opportunity to do this. That's all fine and good, however those rings in the game that you collect and can use for what?!--getting your balls to be a different color--needs a makeover. I mean, who cares if you have blue this app or red this app? 🔵😮🔴 (I know...I know, another balls joke but I couldn't resist!).
Why doesn't the developer make it so you can use those rings for extra chances to continue your game as an alternate way from watching boring ads?! At least you can spend them on something worth it! Spending them on changing your this app to every color in the 🌈is just... disappointing and lame.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if they change that one tiny--but very important feature!
Otherwise, great game!

Personally, I love this game. My record is 521, and I plan on trying to break that. Though I find this game really fun, there is some changes I would like to see in the future. I think that every time you get through a hundred, the balls should change to a different color you have in your inventory. Ex; I get to 100 my ball goes from gray to blue, I get to 200 my ball goes from blue to yellow etc.. I’ve also noticed the higher you get it, the more glitchy Ballz gets. As well as that, I’d like to see different shapes other than squares to make the game more appealing. Same for the balls, I think you should be able to change their shape in addition. Lastly, for some reason i find it harder in the beginning.. when your starting off the game and you have about 2 balls and there’s already multiple blocks in a row adding up to like 10. I don’t know if that’s just me, but I find it personally challenging. I think it should be easy until you get to at least 20 and then it gradually gets harder as you go higher into the game. Thank you for your time and I hope you take this into consideration!

From, your average this app player (:

This game is really fun and addicting, but the restart button is really getting on my nerves. I constantly pause the game and I accidentally press the restart button probably a million times. Pressing the restart ruined my high score of 630. I haven't lost a game in forever, but I had to restart at the very least 25 times because of that button. I don't understand who needs the button, if you wanted to have a new start couldn't you purposely lose. I have also seen other people that have concerns about the restart button. To be honest I really, really have been annoyed by the restart button, but I keep playing the game because it is really fun and addicting.

Another thing I would like to add is the block colors, it seem that they only change colors when the reach 80 or below and I constantly get higher than that but then I accidentally restart. On this matter I have also seen other comments concerning the block colors.

I have literally been playing this game every time I get a chance, because I like it. These are some things that I hope the creators take into consideration. I really like the game but the restart button gets on my nerves a lot. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I hope you can fix my problems.

I really like this game. I can’t give it 2-stars due to how ANNOYING it is. The classic this app is not geared toward today’s mobile gamers. Most are looking for a game you can relax to and de-stress with. I think that this game should be expanded on so it has multiple gamemodes, each with varying levels of difficulty. Classic mode, which will be what this app is right now. Arcade mode, which would have a kind of level system and each level gets harder and harder. Challenge mode, which would be a once per week/day/month level where you have significantly fewer this app to be able to complete the level. And finally, Zen, which would be endless, but you always have more than enough this app to break the block with the highest hp on-screen, and even if a block makes it to the end and you’d normally restart, that block disappears and you keep going like nothing happened. Low stakes, very relaxing. I’d appreciate it if my thoughts were taken into consideration. I will most likely re-install the game if an update like this is implemented.

Thank you for your time.

It really is just one of the best mobile games I have ever played. And that's is saying a lot since I have played so many mobile games in my life. But with ever great game comes problems none the least. It's just one problem that restart button..... Sometimes I'm doing great but it comes to an end I like to watch an ad so I could keep going but right after the ad ends and right before you can start playing again you see the home screen. I am so used to seeing ads after a game and just instantly pressing restart so all I'm asking is to try and make those few seconds of the home screen after the ads, go away. And the pause button too same issue same irritation. Thank you for reading all the way to the end of my prolonged review and keep making the game better. It's just so addicting and so fun to play, but please keep my request in mind if your a developer reading this. And if your a consumer you should try bring attention to this issue because it might happen to you sometime and I'll tell you it is very irritating.💙💙💙💙

UPDATE JULY 24

It seems like the problem is had with this game has been fixed! When you got to higher levels, it used to take so long for all the balls to be returned to you, that is, if it didn't end up crashing first. Now gameplay is really smooth and much quicker. I still wish there was a button to auto-finish, and it would be nice if there were something to do with the in-game currency once you've bought all the colors, but still this is a really fun game. I've been consistently playing for well over a year now.
------------------------------------------------
I have been playing this game for months, but now that I'm on level 4573 it gets to the very end and crashes every single time, so I'm not able to advance anymore. It's disappointing because I have been playing for so long and I love this game. Other than that I have the same complaint as other reviewers, once you get into the 1000s it takes forever for the level to complete and I wish there was a button to make it finish immediately.

I was living my best life at a grand score of 1595 and the happiest in my entire life, I had noticed a rough patch of blocks approaching on the horizon. Much to my dismay I had realized I was in a tuff situation. I tried as hard as I could for hours on end trying to beat the level. Then I realized there is a feature you can use after losing called continue playing. I decided that was my best bet, so naturally I attempted to use said feature and take my chances. I let myself lose and and the next screen the option came up to continue playing. I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness. I click the option and I only had to watch a simple ad. How easy I thought I’ll be playing in no time. Then the x and the top of the add was not working no matter how hard I tried,It wouldn’t close. I decided to exit Ballz and try opening it again. I click the play button and it was gone. At the simple number of 1. All my hard work, gone, joy and happiness, gone. As tears streaked down my heartbroken face I realized no one else shall have to go through this heartbreaking pain. I am now severely depressed and I have no hope. To spare yourself from this pain please I beg you do not download Ballz.

this app, it's more than s game, it's your life. Think of it. It's all strategy, start off slow, use the angles to your favor, the more balls, the "easier" it gets, develope strategy or it's easy to get overwhelmed, you collect rings to buy more balls, then you buy all the balls, yet Continue to collect nothing more than these worthless rings you can't spend anyway. If you play the game continuously without break you will fail, 200 is good, but if you slow down you can reach the thousands, collecting more and more hoping to avoid the reset button which will take it all away and cause utter devastation. In life, The rings are money. The balls are the things we acquire in life through money or talent,,, strategy is key... even after we have everything, bought all the balls we just keep playing, often times we don't even use those other colors we buy.... How much stuff do you have that you don't use... no, once we have it all the goal is to continue to use strategy and avoid messing up and losing it all (Corrine Brown) this app is life

Okay this is better than bubble pop. I've been playing this app for about six months. I have gotten to over 2000 numerous times but then that dredded restart button gets a glancing touch and I have the sheer horror of falling from a tight rope over Niagra Falls. I don't know of any other games that have this option of deleting progress and starting over. Who wants to do that. Please take it off. But I have one other problem. I had a plan to reach 5000 just to see how the numbers in the squares where going to fit 5 digits. I got to level 4531. I have beaten this level numerous times over the last month. Then it just quits and when I open it back up it is back at the start of level 4531. Why can I not get past this level? I'm in the prosses of reaching my goal on my iPad pro now but again with the dang restart button. Maybe just move it over or make it smaller. Make it harder to accidentally hit. I want to give you 0 stars because of this. But as you can see you received 5. Quid pro quo. Okay back to this app.

M’kay, why is it that there isn’t a reverse button to restart my turn for shooting the balls? In order to re-aim I have to go all the way back to the start menu and go back into the game. While going back, I risk hitting the “restart” button every time. I was up to like 450 and accidentally hit restart. I’m not mad, but c’mon game! If I’m going to be addicted to a mobile app we need some optimization in the gameplay!

Also, it’s fun watching the balls bounce around on screen. I get it, it’s part of the appeal. But maybe give me like one more lightning option (where with each tap the balls bounce faster and the game progresses more quickly), just in case I get a little tired of it after the 400’th time.

Other than that, it’s a nice time waister, and it’s generally pretty consistent (apart from a couple minor glitches; like if you exit the game too many time the starting ball automatically re-centers instead of giving you the angle that you started out with). The physics are fun to watch, and trick shots are fun to pull off.

Easily a 5⭐️ app. Very simple and very fun. Ads are non-invasive. I bought the no ad upgrade anyway—just to support.

Would really reallllllllly love for a faster mode. Preferably something where the speed of the balls scaled with the number of balls you have. Or, more simply 1) show the speed up button immediately and possibly 2) have more than one level of 'faster'. Once you get to 30 or so, it's starts to be a wait. If you get up to 100 it's almost painful. At 200+, you spend way way more time watching than playing. At 500+... totally brutal. I wind up taking a shot now and then while I work.

Along those lines, as soon as more than a few balls go from launch back down to the baseline without hitting anything, just reset them all. Waiting for 200 balls to do nothing isn't wonderful. Same for when the board is cleared entirely. Just reset!

Would be cool to see some real time stats after each round like how many points were up vs how many you cleared (with a percentage). Non invasive—along the top or bottom or a semi-transparent overlay, either of which would fade after a few seconds or on launch.

Would gladly pay for features like this. Would also pay to start at higher level (20? 40?).

I love how Ketchapp keeps their games super streamlined and simple. Still, if any of them, this game sorta screams for power ups. Bombs, longer sites, move a single block, undo...

Yes, I have a few wants but only because it's a great little game!

What’s upon a time this game was very good and very addictive, That is until I decided to pay for The game and take it out of free mode. it once I paid for it suddenly the game became more difficult I suppose once you got used to the game in the free mode decide to pay for it they made it more difficult so you would have to pay in game fee to continue a game that you don’t want to lose. I’ve read several other reviews were people complain about the reset button those ones reset and continue are one of the methods the company is using to get you to watch a commercial for another app then you can continue if memory serves this is how it worked at in the free version. Anyway I suppose it’s time to just put this game away because it won’t let me get any further than 250 or so ever since it’s paid for before paying I got higher scores and knew I could do much better but like I said I paid for it and blew it

This is an app I do not like can you change it to make it better and give me a one star right now but I can think about giving it a five star if you change it to a better day and I am playing Toy Blast in this well and it will not let me go past level 94 and this is less but better like it is so bad I can’t even play it anymore like there’s an app that it’s Tara mail so can you and make it a little better please this is short and simple but please make it a better game so everyone can give it a five star rate this is the end of it now said bye for now. Oh and can you make sure there’s not that much apps like I hate apps there’s too much and then I keep restarting and all that I don’t know how it just it just makes me feel like I’m not hitting the wrong buttons it makes me feel like I’m about to block lose I don’t even know what the last level is what is it tell us tell us tell ask please can you make sure there’s not that much apps but in that one that says I’m about to block lose I meant to say that I’m about to lose but this game is him LOL I like this game now just can you change it about everything I just said about there then it will be perfect I have for now I may be back more bye.

I have been playing this for years. I have released over 60,000 balls. The early version of the game was bug free other than an interesting visual mistake with the lightning bolt. Then the game play was changed to add a bit of randomness to eliminate the issue where you could release a ball horizontally and it would never reach a block due to the gravity logic. Personally that was expected and the change unwanted. Now high scores do not mean the same. It was this change that then began a continuous stream of bugs including things like balls disappearing forever. This last update is clearly a large one. But once again a critical bug. Play for a while and you will start to lose balls. If you alway get every white circle, you should always have one fewer balls than the number appearing on new blocks. Now you occasionally lose one. As soon as that happens the game is no longer the same. This bug has caused me to stop playing. I am ready now to just build my own app. The most important thing is to fix all bugs before new features.

I love this game. It’s super addicting and fun but the RESTAR BUTTON drives me CRAZY. It’s useful that there is a restart button, but PLEASE put a failsafe or confirmation button or something! PLEASE. So often I pause my game or leave Ballz to do something and when I come back I accidentally hit restart. I’ve lost games with so much progress due to this button. I know other people have complained about it, for well over a year it seems. I’m saying this as a true fan of this game...please do something to stop this feature. This game deserves five stars. I highly recommend it to anyone out there. It’s kind of calming and satisfying when you get a good hit with the this app. I play this on my commute while I listen to a podcast, I play it while watching TV, I play it all the time. It would just be so much better if i didn’t lose what is sometimes WEEKS of progress because i accidentally hit the restart button.

Lovingly, please do something about this, and my rating will instantly be 5 stars, which is what you 100% deserve.

Apple put in a new software update yesterday, which may or may not be the problem. The problem is that this app will not open. It will go only to a gray looking page for about 10 seconds or so, then it directs me back to my Home Screen. I have tried over and again, to no avail. I have been playing this game for about 5 years now, and I play with no adds. I’m still not good at it, but I have ever sooo much fun trying. Please help me solve this before I throw a tantrum and flip my iPad into the fire place...please! Just joking about killing my iPad...that would be just silly now wouldn’t it? Thank you for your help..JT....oh dear...how will I know if and when you answered my query? I guess it doesn’t matter. I hate like the dickens to have to find a new game to play...year after year...but I am confident it can and will be done if I can’t get this game to work again...sob sob.

While I have downloaded literally thousands of apps, I have never actually written a review before.

Absolutely LOVE this game! Simple concept and amazingly addicting. After the most recent update, the "2nd chance" option (after watching advertisement) is not being offered which is a major step backwards. Also, the in-app-purchase is currently pointless! (Only difference is color of ball). Obviously, app developers want to make $ (you do realize you are leaving soo much money on the table by not offering the ability to purchase additional balls and/or chances!). People (myself included) would constantly purchase more which would provide reoccurring revenue! Something I hope you consider in the near future. Thank you!

Update as of 4/17: recent update has now fixed the issue with adding back the second chance! So happy!!!! Thanks again!

I’ve loved Ballz for years, it is the perfect app to play while I listen to podcasts or videos. However, I have noticed a few problems since the latest update. For one, after however many levels I start to notice that the number of balls I have doesn’t match up with the level, even when I have collected all of the balls. They just seem to disappear from my ball bank. I’ve also noticed a similar problem with the coins/circle things. I collect them all and then when I go to the main menu, they disappear and I am left with zero. I also personally think that the levels have been easier- sometimes levels pop up with no blocks at all. I don’t know if this is just a glitch or intentional. Still 5 stars because I love Ballz , but I wanted to get my concerns across.

Very disappointing to get to level 199 only for the game to glitch. The next row of blocks will drop down before all my balls have finished hitting blocks. This happened on level 199. The next row dropped down and left one group of balls still moving from the previous round. I had one square in the second to bottom row and I took my shot at it. It was only a 70 or 80 count block and I had well over 100 balls so it would have been no problem. However while waiting to clear this block, the balls still moving from the previous round stopped and once again another row of blocks dropped down. Thus dropping two layers of blocks down after one turn and ending my game at 199 when I should have continued. Ever since, this glitch keeps happening no matter what level I’m on and another glitch happens where the ball will bounce off the bottom instead of ending the turn. The ball will keep bouncing around the board until I force close Ballz once again losing. This was my favorite game but it’s very frustrating to get to such a high level and have your game ended by a glitch. I’ll never get that high again.
