Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It was really nice to play the game instead of just going to a arcade and just buying tickets instead you can do it on your phone.
Once the iOS 26 deadline passes, apps that havent updated will not receive any new security updates from Apple. So, its essential for apps to stay current to maintain their security and functionality.
We have been playing this for quite some time and it is really a Fun Game for all ages. It just one of those mindless games that you dont have to think about too hard when playing, and we believe there are no ads.
We are Glad Someone decided to make a Ski Ball Game! We learned Ski Ball as a kid watching a Lady at Kennywood Play it. We got into the habit of bringing Tons of Quarters to Play! We won Starboard and Port Oil Lamps made like a Ships Lanterns! We won a Gargoyle, we still have these things! But a Video Game is Awesome! We usually use a Stylus but not for this Game. We like we can toss the stylus aside for awhile. Thank you for Creating This Game.
Great game! Good graphics & simple to play. A+.
Im not trying to be rude or anything, but is the next what is the next update 1 to 3 you need to use your iOS version 216.
Scored double and Tripple more then the goal needed many times on level 9 and collected all stars and still wont us move forward.
We we didn't think it came with ads when you're paying for Apple Arcade.
It is a very good game. We think it will be better if they made the targets larger.it would be large when your a nooby,then it would get smaller as you make progress.but otherwise,its a really great game.download this game its a really awesome game.
Addicting could be more challenging.
Its ok we wish it was easier to get100.
This game used to be fun. But they have ruined it with ads. There is a constant ad that covers the scoreboard. Thats really poor.
We were so excited when we found out this was a game on the phone because it was one of our favorite arcade games. But then when we started playing it, its not even close to how fun it is at the arcade.
Enjoyed this game for the last few years and then made the mistake of upgrading. A 20 second game is , now, always followed by a 30 second add(s). Bye bye Ball Hop.
4 stars because we have only been playing for about a week. So far its great.
This used to be a fun timewaster, but now theres a minimum 15 second ad after every round, plus an onscreen ad that covers the scoreboard. Its not worth it.
The game is so good. We love it.
Youll be playing and the app will just close. This really needs to be fixed. The game overall is great. Would like to see a few more competitions or something more than just competing for tickets like a head to head challenge or something.
We are always trying to beat our own score. Its our favorite game to pass time.
You can use it when youre in a car. It is so fun we love love it.
Always have loved sore ball and this is just awesome. Love the nostalgic aspect.
We used to love to play this game to pass time but you can no longer see your score at all because of the add placement at the top. That has taken away from playing the game when we would both play and now can not compare our scores.
The game is quite fun. We did not expect to enjoy it as much as we did. But there are ads after every play and we cant even skip most of them. It gets extremely annoying.
Great fun game. Easy and rewarding to play. Try it.
Level three was really hard for us and we also kind of like the game, so yeah Its fun but hard but you could do the free one like werent you just Roll balls and not a level so.
This game would be fun if we could see the score when playing. The scoreboard is hidden by the ad banner. Very disappointing.
This game is fun but the ads are killing it.
We love the traditional game and we also love the levels model. Im looking forward to more levels.
Great game have played it off and on for years. Always tend to end up going back again to see if we can get higher scores.
We cant seem to access any game over Level 15, even though we got enough stars to move to the next level. We want to play more.
Ive loved this game since childhood and still love it to this day. Just glad that our Mom pointed it out to us on the App Store. Kudos on a job well done.
Game is very fun. All the ads make it awful. Love to play skeeball.
We love ball hop its like skee ball without having to pay.
Im addicted to this game for the people reading this review you guys gotta play game doesnt require wi-fi its free to play try it out.
Only a few bucks usd to remove ads permanently, well worth it. Games fun.
Well, we really like this game but this dentist add keeps popping up BUT YOU SHOULD TRY THIS OUT.
Real good game for your children when they are bored in the car.
If you like skeeball this is pretty good. Bring different balls is fun. Really like any game we can just buy and play like the old days. We still dont understand what you can do with the prizes.
Players spend more time navigating menus and watching ads than anything else we get that ads are inherent, but more balls or more rounds or something, please. Not fun.
Stopped Too many times for adds that take too long to end.
Just throwing these balls is so addicting yet calming. Unless our sister comes back saying she beat our high score & then its not calming, its go time.
We love this game very much we wanna play it more often.
This game is so relaxing and addictive we can play it for hours.
Fun game to play when your board.
This is such a fun game. We play it all the time.
This game is so fun because we have always loved this game and we dont get to play it a lot and we found this app and said woah let us try this out we have been obsessed with it it is so fun and we love how its a challenge and it like the real game.
Been playing this game for a long time now and we havent had any problems with it yet!!! Great time playing it passes time and is also addicting for us!!!! Love it!!!! Keep up the good work.
Fun and a lot of skins for a ball and takes up time.
Love the game but the tickets need to be worth something.
Dont understand how to spend tix.
