Nonstop Balls

Since the update, none of my themes or balls are unlocking and seem to be frozen on my old scores. For example, there is a theme that unlocks once you score 1,000,000 points in a game. I have done that several times (with a couple of screenshots as proof) with no unlock. As other reviewers have stated as well, the ads are ridiculous. I do not spend money in mobile games, so I expect some ads, but ads every time an action is taken is a bit too much. If you win, there is an ad. If you lose, there is an ad. If you want more stars, there is an ad. There is even an ad at the bottom of the screen, which will mess you up if you accidentally click on it while adjusting your inaccurate cannon. I will change my rating if you fix the unlocking issue. If I complete the requirement for the theme or ball, I expect the theme or ball to unlock. This game has potential, but it is being wasted. That is truly a shame... **EDIT**: They finally fixed the issue with the themes and balls not unlocking! As that was my only issue, my rating has now changed to reflect that. I will mention again, it still has many ads(and I swear the cannon still seems a bit inaccurate), but at least you earn the themes/balls again 🤷🏽‍♀️

UPDATE: they fixed a few of the problems I was having. Levels are easier to progress to now that my upgrades are working. The French problem is fixed. I’m moving up to 3 star review now. I would go to 4, but now the mute button doesn’t work. I only play this game while I listen to my audiobooks. Without mute, I can’t play. I hope it’s fixed soon! And maybe this time they will make it so I don’t have to hit mute every time I open the app. 🤞 UPDATE: I just updated to the latest version and now my game is in French! Ugh! I love the concept, but the game need a lot of work! There should be more boosts to allow longer game play. There should be options to watch videos for extra “continues,” and a lot less ads during regular game play. Make it optional for boosts so players don’t get frustrated and quit like I do 20 times per day. Also, the themes are virtually impossible because you can’t get that high of a score with how the game is currently set up. And the levels should start much easier and work their way up to such hard levels to help player confidence. I believe that once these things happen then this will be a super popular game! I will give it 5 stars once there are some updates.

I’ve enjoyed this game since it first was released. I paid to remove the ads. I appreciate that they’ve updated the game adding new challenges, block types, etc. But this most recent update clearly demonstrates that they are just squeezing the player for more money. They added larger blocks that are harder to break, but gave a (slightly) higher reward. As the large block would come on the screen, there was always a power up on the board behind it. Part of the strategy was to get the power up to break the mega block. With this most recent update the power ups are now locked inside blocks they need to be broken as well. This puts the player at a significant disadvantage, making it now really impossible to beat any previous high scores, without paying to power up the balls. Even then, they increase the strength of the blocks commensurately and it is very difficult to top one’s previous high score. And in a game where there is nothing other than score chase, it is incredibly frustrating to have updates that penalize the player and make success increasingly difficult. Have uninstalled and will not be supporting any further apps from this developer based on their behavior.

The game is fun, don’t get me wrong. But there are a lot of things I dislike that causes the game to lose its potential as a “fun game.” First negative part of the game is that every time you try to upgrade something to increase your chances of doing better in the game, the game decides to add more numbers to the blocks which makes the upgrading useless and putting you in the same boat as if you were to start this game all over again. Second negative side to this game, (im sure a lot of people agree on this), is the ads. The ads is what make this game lose its value. I don’t mind the ads. But please don’t put the ads up during gameplay. Some ads causes the gameplay to LAG, making it frustrating to play and having to go through that each and every gameplay. Ads after or before the game I don’t mind. But please get rid of ads during gameplay! This game is a lot of fun, keeps me occupied, and could improve later down in the future. That’s all.

After every round you’re required to watch at least 5 seconds of a commercial. The best round I’ve had so far I’ve only gotten 20+/-5 stars, the upgrades cost 50+ stars and closer to 100+ for other upgrades. The blocks scale with the upgrades so it’s not like you’re actually progressing or actually getting further along, that way your longest run remains around 1.5minutes so you can watch another commercial. The only way to progress is to watch an endless stream of commercials worth only 20 stars which means you have to watch 2.5 minutes of commercials to get an upgrade. Overall this game could be fun if you didn’t have to spend so much time watching commercials or paying to win, otherwise it’s complete trash and there are other games similar that are much better and don’t require so much time investment in commercials in order to progress and level up
