  1. [R2] Knock Balls! 4/5 · US ADS: I really enjoy the challenge of this game but if you enjoy an ad after every third board this is the game for you, not me
  2. [R3] Knock Balls! 3/5 · US Irritating: I played this game years ago and it was. Now to 1 or 2 levels and watch ads. Definitely more ads that game time.
  3. [R4] Knock Balls! 1/5 · US Pappy: This game sucks because of all the ads
  4. [R6] Knock Balls! 3/5 · US It’s ok: Would be 5 start if there wasn’t a ad after every freaking level this is why no one likes mobile games there riddled with ads
  5. [R11] Knock Balls! 5/5 · US Best game but needs an update with new levels.: Please update and add new levels please.
  6. [R12] Knock Balls! 3/5 · US Great time killer BIT: It's all the same!!! The graphic is not super complex so more diversity would be an easy job.
  7. [R15] Knock Balls! 3/5 · US Repetitive: Fun game but gets old quick. It's just the same levels in a different order over and over
  8. [R30] Knock Balls! 3/5 · US Fun yet repetitive game: It’s a nice time waster but I’ve been playing for a long time and it’s the same levels over and over. Would love some new Boss levels that maybe are a bit more challenging. Or add some power ups
  9. [R9] Knock Balls! 3/5 · US Problems: This game is so fun and I was really enjoying it until I noticed that it will freeze and not let me move to the next level. Sometimes when I have knocked down all the pieces, it just sits there and does not advance. Please fix this!
  10. [R22] Knock Balls! 2/5 · US Sound goes off: Half the fun of playing a game is the sound effects and the sound effects just disappear in the middle of the game.
  11. [R27] Knock Balls! 3/5 · US Can’t play at all!: I used to enjoy this game but it somehow updated on its own. Now when I try to play it, I get a white screen with three empty boxes at the bottom of the screen. I’m sad now as I used to play this to relax.
  12. [R39] Knock Balls! 3/5 · GB Sound keeps going off: Love the game but the sound keeps going off I turn up my volume and it comes on for a little bit then goes off again frustrating
  13. [R1] Knock Balls! 1/5 · US The old format was better!: I thoroughly enjoyed this game, referred to me by a friend, when it was the old format. The new one is awful! I keep checking with the hope it has changed back. If it ever does, five stars for sure!
  14. [R51] Ball Blast Cannon blitz mania 2/5 · US Ads: Genuinely just ad slop. You can’t go five seconds on this app without seeing a giant free button with tiny text that lets you know you’ll have to watch an ad. Money hungry game dev just trying to make money. Fun game concept but ruined because we just all need to see even more ads in our life
  15. [R52] Ball Blast Cannon blitz mania 5/5 · US Great game: Love this game it is always there for me when I’m bored and I could play for hours at a time! Highly recommend playing
  16. [R54] Ball Blast Cannon blitz mania 2/5 · US The newest version: I miss the old version I used to play. Two stars because I used to love this game and totally forgot about it after an update. After downloading it again with the newer version, the levels are nearly impossible to defeat. You can watch ads for boosters and still never win, specifically the levels with the blocks and the dragon. I want to enjoy this game and not play one leve

  20. [R67] Knock'em All 3/5 · US It’s a good game: I give it a five star rating if it didn’t have ads, and if it was a little harder
  21. [R68] Knock'em All 1/5 · US To many adds: To many ads
  22. [R79] Ball Shoot! 1/5 · US Politics: Is it really necessary to run an ad with a politician begging for more donations and having a chip in button for same? The main idea of a game is to get away from everyday irritations and just have fun.
  23. [R81] Ball Shoot! 3/5 · US Too many ads: If you like a lot of ads during play, this is the perfect app. If you want the ball to go exactly where you are pointing, good luck it’s iffy.
  24. [R82] Ball Shoot! 1/5 · US Another great game ruined by ads.: Nope, not paying to remove them.
  25. [R83] Ball Shoot! 4/5 · US Ball shoot: At times its annoying as it goes so fast. You actually have little time to react. It is addicting as well

  28. [R95] Swing&Knock 3/5 · US Add new unlimited mode: I like the concept of the game but the levels r so short and is too easy. PLEASE add a mode where it goes on until u mess up or swing and miss or something. Thanks
  29. [R96] Swing&Knock 1/5 · US I thought it would be cool.: So I saw this game and it looked interesting so I downloaded it and I was about to hit the ball and it kicks me out so I did it again and the same thing happens over and over again. Would recommend if it would let me play.
  30. [R107] Falling Ballz 2/5 · US Fun for a bit but: Fun at first. Except the diamonds never work to buy back in if you lose and it gets so boring after around 3000 because the balls don’t speed up again when caught so levels can take forever to get through. And when I eventually literally die from boredom it offers me an option to spend my thousands of diamonds to keep playing but never does it when I hit the button and then it’s
  31. [R108] Falling Ballz 4/5 · US It’s ok: It’s really ok
  32. [R109] Falling Ballz 3/5 · US Please fix!: Great relaxing game but the “continue playing” feature does not work. Please fix this!
  33. [R110] Falling Ballz 1/5 · US Bad: I was at my high score I lost 😕😕😕😕😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
  34. [R58] Ball Blast Cannon blitz mania 5/5 · US This is the most fun game I’ve ever played.: This game was amazing but if there was a stupid tip I would rate this game a one star because there’s no stupid tip I rated this game a 5 star, it is all about timing,I also liked how the abilities reacted the first time I played this game I knew this was a five stars I’m not even 10 years old yet, there barely any ads that came up, and think I am past
  35. [R61] Ball Blast Cannon blitz mania 5/5 · US Ball blast: Other then the short adds you can easily skip , underrated game for sure 👍🏾🫶🏾
  36. [R59] Ball Blast Cannon blitz mania 3/5 · US Diminishing returns, updated, updated agains: You grind for cash to upgrade and it feels like nothing changes after awhile. There is a scaling issue on the later upgrades. Even if you managed to save up 20, 30 million gold and dumped it into power or speed, you can barely tell a difference. I wish it carried more weight, or actually meant what it says. They could easily add a color to the bullets t
  37. [R70] Knock'em All 3/5 · US Fun: The game is really fun but there are way to many adds. I should be able to actually enjoy the game instead of watching am add after every round. It’s a fun game but also way too easy. Just be aware of all of the adds that you’re gonna have. Otherwise it’s a good game with good mechanics just a shame there’s so many adds.
