Community Insight:
What it says on the tin. Just a shame that the game has no "no ads" payment option, and that it's the Lite version.
All these people are saying that they crash right before they finish a level. Bro its not the games fault, its the fact that you have a cardboard phone. We like the game a lot. Us, well we are really picky, we have only 3 games, which includes Minecraft and Roblox. The two most popular games. Our third? This one. Its such a good way to get through car rides, and planes ride too! We love how there is so much levels. They are all challenging so its not easy to max it out! To the creator of this game: Great work! One thing you should add is, an infinite mode. Where it never ends ones like a level. Where you can play for a high score! Anyways FIVE STARS.
One of our favourite mobile games. Fun, competitive, and chill. We like that it gets more challenging as you progress. Ive had the app for about a week and we managed to beat all 80 levels. So fun. Highly recommend.
Fun and interesting version of the classic brick breaker. The shiny design of everything is very nostalgic to us and makes everything look fancy. We like that there are options to change the difficulty/speed of the game, because its meant to be fun, not hard. Still challenging and difficult (in a good way) at times of course. Also, there is a reasonable (low) amount of ads compared to the average free game these days. Only one ad every few tries, and always skippable.
We love this game! We hope another larger version is coming soon.
This game is very fun. It's also satisfying. We're like honestly in with this we're addicted. We cannot stop playing. Its sooooooooo fun.
We enjoy your game very much the graphics are great And we love that you have so many levels and you can go back to play old ones if you like plus the music changes And we love the sound effects GREAT JOB.
Possibly the most interesting, most fun and most innovative of all the brick breaker games and most challenging. Unfortunately it keeps crashing when we end a level.
To many ads and the game crashes when you are about to finish a level.
