Gameplay reviews are mixed, with many players praising its smoothness and fun mechanics, while others express frustration over the excessive presence of ads that disrupt the experience. Some users highlight issues with gameplay speed and mechanics, particularly at higher levels, which can lead to frustrating moments. Overall, while the core gameplay is enjoyable, the overwhelming number of ads significantly detracts from the overall experience.
“I love the fact that the ads only show in the menu and don't interrupt the gameplay in any way, shape, or form. This is how ads should be played, not popping up while playing or doing anything.”
“With so many free games saturating the field, especially in the arkanoid-style gameplay, this game stands out as a very refreshing take and rescues the formula from its dull copycats.”
“Gameplay is fun and diverting, but there are so many ads that the app consumes twice as much data as any other app on my phone.”
“It really affects gameplay and is way too slow.”
“The ball not tracking makes for some very frustrating and random gameplay.”

“Great game...should have a story mode where you earn dollars to play through a story and build a town or house and customize floors, furniture, etc.”

“I recommend playing your favorite music while playing this.”
“Good background music would make this game perfect.”

“The game is amusing, but it frequently plays ads that are much louder than any other music player even if you mute the app.”
