There are games ruined by ads out there, but 2048 Balls decided to take it to a whole new level. You can't drop more than 3 or 4 balls in a row without getting assaulted by a 5 second ad. I thought at first that I must have tapped some special item or tool, but no, it became clear that the intent of this game isn't too provide enjoyment, it's to make money for the developers. This is about the fastest I've ever gone from install, to playing, to rating, to uninstalling an app.

If I was going only on addictivness, I'd have given 5 stars. The main reason for the lower rating is the incredible frequency of game interrupting ads. The other is that after playing a single game for over a week (my current goal ball is 32B) it doesn't seem to get any more challenging. I think a single game might never end. Haptic (vibe) feedback is cool, but there should be an audio option too.

Terrible. The ads are unbelievable. I have never played a game with more ads than this one. Now if you're ok with giving the developers $2.99 to make make the ads go away by all means go for it then it's a fun game. I refuse to just off the fact that I dont respect developers that do stuff like this. Constantly forcing ads that are 10+ seconds with no skip its insanity. I've gotten 5 ads in one minute. Its just ridiculous. Dont waste time. Just play the original 2048.

Behold, the most rigged and ad riddled game I think I have ever played. Ads everh three seconds, literally, and whenever you need a ball it won't give it to you. For example, say you need a 16 or 8 to go into a 16, which would go into 32. It will only give you 2s and 4s until its buried, then give you a 16 or 32. Bad example, but it just felt so rigged. Also incredibly inconsistent. The balls would bounce really weird. Its satisfying which is why a 3. Just needs less adds and more consistency

Love LOVE the game but uninstalled within 15 min of game play because TOO MANY ads! I understand the need for ads but they aren't just shown between levels, but also when you are in the middle of a level, it stops for an ad to be shown. If it weren't for that, I'd keep the game & play all of the time! I don't recommend this game solely on the EXCESSIVE ads!

The game itself is fun and I really enjoy it. But holy ads Batman! Like other reviews have said, I get there are ads in most free games, but this is excessive. Literally, every 30 seconds it will pop up. I play on airplane mode, which eliminates the ads, but then you won't get notifications for other things.

Only way you're playing this game is by paying for it. Super glitchy. I have had it for about 15-20 mins and it froze my phone twice because of the pop up ada. Pop up ads every 30 seconds or so. I finally uninstalled when it tried to trap me in a 60 second ad. I get it. Ads make the game free. But this is out of control for what this game is. Save yourself the headach and time it takes to install and uninstall. Just don't do it. Super disappointing.

I was actually enjoying this game until the 30 second unskippable ad showed up. Then the 44 second ad that when you skip it goes to a "minigame" with no x, and when you tap the minigame just once and it takes you to the play store. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to ads but this game is literally unplayable because of how bad they are.

Way too many ads. I get that in a free game there are going to be ads, but this game literally had an ad every 30 seconds to a minute. Put an ad every time you level up or clear a screen or something, but even though I actually really liked this game, I couldn't stand playing it anymore because I was watching ads more than I was playing the game. I ended up deleting. Find a better balance between ads and play, and I would reinstall and change my rating.

I loveeeee the game and idea. But HATE the frequency of ads. Not even for just for "extra oives" or anything. Ads pop up ALL the time even WHILEEE I'm playing. Very veryyyyyyy annoying. Takes up a lot of time. Is very distracting. I hate it. Hopefully someone else comes up with a 2048 3d ball idea too for another app so I can delete this one and forget about it.

It was an ok game overall, nothing spectacular and I would have given at least 3 stars BUT the amount of adds is crazy! I've never seen so many in a game before, to the point where I set up a timer on my desk and took down the time between adds, literally every 30 seconds a video add would pop up, stopping game play, and the average length of the adds was anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds. I wanted a calming distraction from my semester not a frustrating add engine.

Great game. Nice change to the typical 2048 genre. I love how you can go farther then 2048 unlike some that just say "you win" and make you start over. Im sad to find that it ends at 2048T (Trillion) you can keep going but no more levels. Wish there was a way to remove the vibrate on placing, balls moving, and on level up. Also wish that leveling up wouldnt put my game on pause so im forced to tap to continue, tap to understand controls each time. And that the bomb and magnet were lower

Great game ONLY if you buy it. $2.99 or gameplay interrupted every 30 seconds with LONG incredibly frustrating advertisements!!! Reasonable price if you think phone games are a reasonable way to waste your time. The game itself is easy but captivating. I quickly uninstalled because the ads we're making me frazzled and I prefer to keep games OFF my phone because I don't have time to waste.

Game crashed constantly after the 2048 level. Ads come up constantly. Physics are terrible and only work against you. Added a leveling system to the game but no reward for leveling up or a reason to care?????? The kicker is I got pretty far in my first game and got sick of it, so I tried to throw the game. I got from 2048 to 16k by just aiming down the center and spamming balls.

The gameplay itself is enjoyable but the balls were not nearly as jiggly as the ones in the ad. What ruined it for me is the amount of ads. I understand theyre needed for revinue, and I love when goodies are offered in exchange for watching them as extras and dont mind them after or before levels but an ad in the middle of a level, especially during the middle of a single move is distracting and far more irritating than ones between levels.

This game is well made in and of itself, and would be fun except for all the ads. I get it, you need revenue, but this games ads were excessive. I literally had an ad every 45 seconds to a minute on top of an ad every time I leveled up. I played for 10 minuets and couldn't take it any more. Uninstalled the game. And $2.99 is to expensive for such a simple game with no ads. I might do it if it were $.99... might.

Game is nice, but update has a few small/irritating problems. The game's update added a 'fail line' where if your balls (or cheese or w/e shape you choose) go over that line you fail the level. That's not a bad thing by itself. But the game also added extra oomph into the pops and explosions which can bounce your shapes over the fail line and induce an auto-fail. Also the haptic feedback keeps turning itself back on but when you open up the settings it'll say it's off.

There are way too many ads, all of which are disruptive, full screen, and longer than 15 seconds. It feels like a third of the gameplay is finding the skip or exit buttons for the ads. After the ads, the next ball usually drops randomly, throwing me off. I probably would've paid for the full version if they weren't so spammy.

The new update is horrible. Please please please change it back to the old design. The balls are so much less satisfying and the little "fantastic" messages that show up when you combine a lot of balls are stupid and annoying. Please change it back! It used to be my favorite game, I play it constantly when I'm stressed or watching a show. Please, please switch it back.

There are way too many ads. After every time you pass a level there is an ad. They pop up at the randomest times. Other than that, this game awesome!! I can't stop playing it, it is so fun and very addicting. I have had it for about a week and I haven't stopped playing it, it's that fun. I'm also not burnt out of it, most games if I play them for a week non stop then I get bored and find another game to install. I definitely recommend getting this game it is super fun!!!
