Balls Control Reviews

by Deerk2ng

The quality of gameplay is lackluster there’s nothing very interesting about it. I thought it might be a good game to just turn off my brain and let my mind wander with but the amount of ads is actually insane. There’s an ad you have to watch after every level (and sometimes in the middle of one) and then also after the ad it offers a chest that you can only unlock by watching ANOTHER ad right after. Completely ridiculous and very annoying when I’m just trying to play a mindless game

Whenever you advance onto the next level you get an ad. Whenever you upgrade a ball, you get an ad. Whenever you open a chest, you get an ad. Whenever you want to activate a powerup, you get an ad. All of these ads are unskippable. Some of them are even interactive so after you sit through 30 seconds to a minute or two of watching an ad. You then have to play the game that it was advertising. I just got stuck in an endless loop where it opened up my App Store by itself showing some random app. I would then exit store by it would keep popping up. Rendering my phone completely useless. I just had to do a hard reset on the phone in order to stop the “pop ups”.

Message to xDodgerBlue420x: youre not fooling anyone here. We all know that youre cheater, moving clock on your device to gain unreal progress of the game. And possibl some other cheats aswell. And then youre like “you should patch the game so there is no auto mode” so you would take away the chances for others to retake your 1sr place huh???? And “ i was able to get so high score by not getting more than 5 planets. “ yeah sure sure tell this to your little sister if you have one. Everyone who played this game a bit knows that you literally have to buy new colors otherwise you wont get so much spawns. Dude you should get banned from this game not only for cheating but also for fooling others and forcing them to play this game wrong so they dont steal your placement. Shame on you, youre not fooling me, cheater. I hope you will get banned. Oh and get a life.

This game has pleasant audio and simple enough game play loop that could be stimulating for a few minutes each day. Unfortunately the game play loop is CONSTANTLY interrupted by ads asking you to watch for a reward. It’s worth mentioning you can pay 3.99 to remove ads - but you should want to buy a game to SUPPORT the developer, not to get away from ads.

Intrusive ads designed to make players spend money to get rid of them. Just slap a 3.99 price tag on the application; you’re giving players a bad taste by letting them download this otherwise. Alternatively you might create a lite version of this game that allows players to actually play the game without the constant ads.

Also, the game is in no way shape or form worth $3.99. The game play loop is too short. Perhaps a $.99 price tag would be better suited.

For every action there is an equally negative intrusive ad. Want to up a stat? Ad. Skip a bonus ad? Well there’s an ad. Complete a level? How bout an ad. The hilarious part is ad companies despise apps that advertise this way because they only pay for so many unique impressions per hour and typically this is 2 impressions. So literally 95 percent of the advertising is there specifically to annoy you in to buying the remove ads. The game is not good enough for the ad saturation to begin with and probably cost all of the price of a mc chicken to develop like the bulk of the Noob vs Pro cookie cutter idles that are being spit out because mc chicken.

I would like to opt out of ads, but there’s no way to do that. Most games charge 99¢-$2.99 to allow you to permanently opt out of ads. This game doesn’t have that option and the ads are annoying and time consuming. For every 5 minutes I spend in BallsControl , I spend 2 of those watching ads. And if a level takes longer to beat, an ad dropped right in the middle of it. I’m averaging 2 30 sec ads per level. That’s ridiculous. Deleting the game because of the ads seems like the only choice as there’s no opt out option.

ETA Deleted it. Redownloaded 6 months later. It seems they added an opt out option. Should have had that when I could afford it. Too little too late. Deleting again.

Game is just slightly amusing enough to take the edge off of a boring few minutes... except every “level” ends with an ad you can’t skip. There’s no way to lose, so there’s no good time for ads, so evidently every time is a good time for ads. Supposedly you get points while you aren’t playing, but they don’t do anything because this game doesn’t have a goal. Anyways. Back to the other idle games that actually give you bonuses and stuff for watching ads when you want.

by Reviewer 0988

However, as mentioned many times before, there are WAY too many ads, which is ANNOYING. I understand that’s a way to keep BallsControl free, but do you really have to play an add after every level! And it shows an update was done to fix minor bugs, but I don’t see an option to update BallsControl (and if it updates in the background, it messed up some other stuff because now after a level or two it freezes so I have to turn my phone off to get it work again!

by Tiffany967

The game has a lot of potential but no one wants ads the second they sign into the game, they also wouldn’t want ads when they finish a level. Overall however, the game is really good but the ads outweigh the game by the tons, I would suggest it if you wanted to spend money on not having constant ads in your face otherwise I’d say the ads are much too irritating to fully immerse yourself while playing. I also would suggest for the creators to get different kinds of ads I would constantly get the same ad for the same game over and over again.

If you want a summary scroll to the bottom.

BallsControl has good potential, but it’s definitely got some problems. To start off, it’s a little boring. You literally just hold your finger on the screen. If there were some other upgrades like spawn rate or smthn like that, I think it would help to fix the problem. Then, as with almost all idle games, the ads. This game is much better than other games in the way of ads, so congrats on that. My only problem is if you don’t want to watch an entire advertisement for a reward then it gives you a 5 second skip ad for no reward. This is less of a problem than the next, which is pretty irritating. There will be advertisements i the middle of a level, so you’re clicking on something and then you’re in BallsControl Store. It’s a clever way to make money, it’s just a little irritating. In summary:

The amount and placement of the ads is not outweighed by the quality of the game.

Whatever ad service this developer subscribes to includes a fake pop-up asking for your Apple ID password if you click to install some of the games. Instead of taking you to BallsControl Store it just gives the pop up, and does not give the Touch ID option. I fell for it, noticed the game was not downloading, checked BallsControl Store and saw no evidence I had requested the game. I immediately changed my Apple ID password and had to log out all other devices and re-log in to everything with the new password.

If you see an ad for an interesting game on here, just go look it up on BallsControl Store and download directly from there.

Hopefully BallsControl dev will switch to a more reputable ad generator service.

Plus, this isn’t really a game. There is no skill required, no strategy involved. You just touch buttons.

Seems like a good idea but it’s really glitchy. My first experience was that BallsControl would keep opening BallsControl Store to some random app(s) and I have to close BallsControl completely. Then, right afterwards after I upgraded one thing it had me use the “wave” and wouldn’t let me decline it. When I gave in it played a ad and I closed it completely. I would then open BallsControl again and get a ad. Though this time it was a video that I could skip but once I did it took me to another part of the ad where it wanted me to play a demo of BallsControl and had a “X” on the top right corner of the screen. That just so happened not to actually work and here I am now. I don’t mind having adds in a app when they aren’t being spammed and actually let you get out of them. Hope to see these bugs fixed soon.

I enjoy this game. It’s simple, yet it requires you to plan your moves in order to optimize your points. However, there seems to be an everlasting glitch that only allows you to skip through your treasures instead of collect them. Same goes for not being able to watch a video in order to get 2x the points. I’ve closed BallsControl several times and that problem still exists. Overall, I like the game and continue to play it, despite not being given all of my earned points.

I love this game and use to play it several years ago. It was a good game to just relax and wind down but then I got to where I didn’t play it as much! Now I downloaded it again yesterday and for some reason I don’t get to collect any of my coins at the end of each level and I never get to double my coins from being offline! I can’t use any of the add-on extras! I hope someone will fix this! Please and thank you!

Ok so I’ve been playing this game for about 3 weeks now and I’m still not done with the ball silver. What the heck I literally just want to get it over with I’m at 20 on silver it’s meant to go to 10 not like 100 and silver is really expensive like a billion something if that is not really “fixed” I might stop playing it’s just soooo annoying. I love the game and all but please what the heck it’s sooo boring trying to get a colors to a top level to go auto for the whole game and just trying to finish one color is NOT fun at all. Cut me some slack cause I’m not good at waiting soooooo it’s not really my type of game if I have to wait like more than a week to get a color. But overall it’s ok 👌.

I enjoy all sorts of various idle games - something I can do on my lunch breaks at work or whatever other spare time I have, but still have some feeling of “getting somewhere” even if I don’t have a lot of time to play.

The gameplay for this is fairly simplistic, and adheres to basically all the other main rules of upgrading things that other idle games share. However, the number of ads that appear for every little thing (including in the middle of a level) are beyond obtrusive and ruin the experience. If a level takes me 30 seconds to complete, i shouldn’t have to sit through up to four ads following in order to get the bonuses and all that. Plus if I do complete a level I’m rewarded with an ad anyway! I get that there is a need to make some money but come on. Tone it down a bit.

I absolutely love this game!! It is so fun and is a great time passer. But there are a couple of things I would change-1. Too many adds!! I would be playing this game and then an add shows up. I dont really mind that ( others would ), but then when i get back to my game, it gives me a gift! Cool right? Not so much. I have to watch another video to collect it!! 🤧☹️ 2. The upgrades are so expensive!!!! Whenever i want to upgrade a color ball, its always over 3 m! And I only have like, 800,000. Try to make it more even with the level/balance. 😬 Other than those two things, this game is SUPER fun and I am ADDICTED!!!!! 🤓😄

To start off, there are WAY to many ads, which will bring it down a star, and also it will cost 4 dollars to remove them, which a lot of money to spend on a free game on your phone. Also when you hit a color and then hit another one of the same color all the ones from the previous change direction. It makes it a bit harder in not much of a good way in my opinion. Otherwise mostly a pretty good game, except the insanity of what happens on the screen and the flashing colors could cause problems for some people with things like epilepsy or etc. I would give four star only because there are more ads then I have ever seen in a game before.

This game is unlike any I’ve seen in a while. This is the first time I’ve ever left a review on a game, so that’s saying something! It’s the perfect mix of relaxing and satisfying. It is overall just enjoyable and easy to play. I think that it’s perfect the way it is!

by Morgan Angets

This game is wonderful. I love how this just gets you attention for like a hour. This is wonderful I think everyone should get this game😃!!

On the other hand at first this game is kinda confusing and when you finally realize what you are doing it is hard or you are at a hard level.!?!?😩
But this game is wonderful so get it
