Striiiiike!

Community Insight:
This game may seem simple and childish but it makes using the skills of physics with a little bit of logic to think of the angles needed to score. This game also gives you the chance to repeat levels to better your score until your happy with it.
One of the first apps. We ever down loaded back in 2011 and its still FREE! Just. About the only free game you can get anymore. Its tricky and fun AND FREE.
Needs an update, but for the most part its a masterpiece.
Absolutely fun and challenging game. No Ads. We need help to solve Lotsa Slider, scene 59 to continue the rest of the game. Thanks.
Perfect for any waiting room. Dont have to think too much. Just have fun.
Tricky enough to make you think but solvable. It's our go to for mental entertainment.
Havent played in very long time. Fantastic.
Fun game keeps you thinking and busy.
Great Game. Graphics are ok but levels are endless! Also there is a challenge on every level. Buy this game.
This game makes us think. We enjoy trying to outdo our best level. We find it relaxing.
We like this game a lot , we have it since our first iPhone 3G and play it all across to iPhone 6 Plus now.
Interesting, worth the effort, fun.
Great game! Definitely five stars! Very addictive and cool. There is one of our favorite.
We love this app so much and we're waiting for the day when there is an update. Although we do find it very hard to believe that we are 22nd in the US, and 72nd worldwide. We have mostly three stars but every once in a while we go back to it and try and get all three stars. PLEASE DONUT GAMES……..WE NEED AN UPDATE WITH NEW LEVELS.
Fun makes you think great for all ages.
Great thinking game requiring knowledge of angles and forces. Very addicting – love it.
Physics is good and keeps us coming back for more….can be addictive.
We really like this game. We can't tell you more because we have to go back and play.
We've been playing this game since 3!we got all Of the apps!! LOVE IT!!!P.
Fun like Cat Physics!! Great concept and addictive fun.
Love this game! Lots of fun..great game.
Random difficulty keeps it entertaining.
This game has a unique charm that will keep you entertained for a healthy amount of time.
A bit silly but fun..love to be able to redo our efforts, learning more about angles and force…kind of like physics set in a somewhat uncomfortable primitive brown culture. Hate hitting the natives! Couldn't we wipe out some Colonialists.
Great fun. Many interesting levels. Cool physics game.
It's a little too random which makes the gameplay frustrating. We prefer the more calculated approach of their other game 'Cat Physics'. It's way more addictive.
Thumbs up. Donut games are always good; some are more challenging than others. This is accessible to many.
Really enjoy the time spent playing.
. . . So now it's REALLY FUN & we can say, "join in the fun!".
We love the simple graphics and funness.
Great game! Able to be rewarded for improved eye-hand coordination; can go to your best set-up whenever you desire.
We love this game! Challenging, entertaining and a fun to play.
Addictive…challenging…fun.
This is a must have if u like games to pass the time, games with achievements and games that are fun. We have 3 games by this dev and plan to get more! Thanks for good, fun games Donut! Job well done.
Love the game… Wish there were more levels.
Fun game. Relaxing because it doesn't take a huge amount of thought or skill – just enough to make it fun.
Great distraction from the real world, good entertainment.
Great game with lots of chuckles along the way. We love to try to better our previous score and get all three stars. Highly recommended game.
This is a great game good stress reliever.
Fun game, wish you had more levels.
Faltariam mais dicas para melhorar o score.
Love the challenges and thanks for adding moe levels.
This game is awesome, we were bummed out when we finished cat physics till we found cave bowling, keep up the great games.
Great game. We can't stop playing it.
We enjoy playing this game during quiet times.
We love it we would give this 7 stars out of 5 if we could.
Super fun game. Similar to Cat Physics which we also love :).
After purchasing this app, we were only going to play long enough to help our 7yr old get started. We couldn't stop. We had the best time playing it together! Many laughs and high fives! 99 cents well spent! Thanks for the fun.
Very mechanically stimulating and quite challenging.
Good game not overly hard or easy just goofy.
