Cheats so subty, they probably think they can get away with it. The negative power ups track to you, the positive ones don't. The VFX over power the ball so you loose site of it. The triple ball adds speed to the balls, making them harder to keep in play. They put the ball in the layer behind all the other objects, further concealing it's position. The noise field used for RNG specifically blocks targets. These are all so you lose and watch an ad or pay. Don't spend money on this game. Lawsuit?

dunno why my review dissapeared from a long time ago but ill say it again, this not only the best breakout game, it feels like an adventure game! Heck, even survival (a mode I usually dont play) I enjoy and get addicted to. Theres other balls to use that feel powerful, boards now too (at the time they hadnt gotten to that yet) and Level packs feel like progressing further into some ruins. The Only thing missing would be a story i guess. So much Fun for players of the genre or not!

Overall love the game, but level 80 of the new tombs is such bull s*** i understand the challenge of completing the level in 1:30 but i had to lose my first ball intentionally, send up another to catch the laser (otherwise the ball would fly to the side and you do not have time to recover from that, prompting a reset, or it would hit the laser too early not hitting the balls inside the level) i then had to get really lucky and intentionally get 3 fastballs "negative" powerups.

Ancient Bricks Is Awesome Graphics are outstanding. Level of difficulty is progressive and very enjoyable for your family and friends. Thumbs up to the Developer and the team for thinking of the player and their enjoying the game on top advertising making it very easy to stay and play. Enstead of the Endless Bomb bardment of adds you get from other apps making you run to the uninstall button as soon as you play the first time.

Love the game but you need to add an info section to it. Detailed description of the balls, exactly what the energy storage function does. Details on what each of those gems you collect in the mine does, red, green, blue, ect... Also make the hard levels in the tombs just a bit easier to actually beat.

The "brick breaker" genre is one of my favorite gaming categories. Which means I've played a lot of them. Therefore, I can confidently say that this game is, without a doubt, the BEST in the genre! The visuals are great, the sound is outstanding, the levels are ingenious (especially the mining levels) and, unlike other games of this type, the powerups actually help you out! Seriously, this game is so good, it should be available for Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation! Get this game NOW!!!

Sluggish, clunky, dropped almost immediately. The ball speed is a bit slow, which I don't mind. I do, however, mind the gold and powerup fall speeds being mismatched and makes the mine mode feel less about skill and more about selectively failing to save balls to catch money, as well as the paddle having some delay to it. Not exactly enough to ruin the game, but enough to feel weird and would throw off your bounced if the physics weren't overly simple. Works as a breakout game, but not well.

I love the game, but it has its flaw's. The ball moves to slow to begin with and the paddle is not in sync, ex: if the ball lands on an outer corner it goes straight up when it should go in an angle. The powerups and downs really need to be longer because they are pretty much useless except in the very beginning of the game. I wish y'all would change or give us the option to change these features. Thank you

Excellent brick breaker game. Love the atmosphere & music. Collecting gold & buying upgrades is a really nice touch & addictive. Played several levels with only couple ads, so that is very good. Due to uniqueness of power ups & downs, it is a breath of fresh air, but also it's greatest weakness. None except ball multiplication as far as I can tell so far, last for more than a few seconds. Also a level ended as the last bit of gold was falling to my paddle. Small complaint, but I want it all. =)

This game is a top notch twist on Arkanoid, with numerous levels to complete, the ability to upgrade your paddles and balls, leader boards for a multitude of statistics and achievements! Also gives a daily bonus stage to complete. I switched devices and had to start over. I thought the cloud save prevented that from happening?! Another issue is when playing completed levels over, when collecting a key its not credited to you.

Great theme, graphics, music & cool power ups (that don't last very long). The power inventory rewards are so small after all that playtime which sometimes is nearly impossible to complete, especially when the player can't direct the ball in any direction with the paddle. Would be nice if power inventory and energy was purchasable. And deducting inventory power only returns have of the energy?!? . Make the game worth all the fun. This game could be spectacular

A slow, boring game. If you're having trouble sleeping, it's for you. Powerups last only a few seconds, if you want to extend their time, plan to play for many hours to gather coins (or pay to win) Monotonous levels leave me feeling I wasted some un refundable donations to another lame app. One of the most frustrating "challenges" these devs added was inverting controls. How is that challenging? It's just dumb. I wish I could get my $ back....

I really like the game. Nice graphics & playability. Would like to see the explanations of the power ups in the game menu. I'd give 5 stars but for one thing. The Ads. Now I'm not complaining about the amount. I get that you have to make money. But most of the ads are for those stupid "play this game and get free money" apps that are complete & utter frauds. Also, they're really annoying with the fake actors screaming about how they won. Noone ever gets any money. Please get different sposors!

Had this app for awhile and it's fun,good time killer, my kids love playing too. But it might be time for an update or something I have the S9+ and for the last month or so the top of the screen is glitchy (it overlaps and blinks) didn't really bug me but I was in the upgrades and it's now at the bottom of the screen. hopefully I don't need to reinstall... all that work...lol love the game!

Great game that doesn't require internet access love it! This game is even better than Big Fish Games' PC game "Hyperballoid". BTW for those of you that have trouble with changing the volume or the ball even going through the panel, its probably just your phone. Those kinds of things happened to me on other games I previously had. Certain glitches are more prevalent in some phones than others, and you may not have enough storage space to run it properly. Turning off WiFi while playing offline games always seemed to solve most of the issues. But thank you to " Zippy Mobile " for making such a great game!

Love this game, great reinvention. The only issue I have is that the power ups should be color coded better. Sometimes I get confused at which ones to collect. The fall rate for the powerups is tricky as well. Save the ball or power up lol Love this game though, would enjoy new powers and improvements. I don't do micro transactions, but I'm happy to support the devs on this one.

The ball interaction with the paddle is odd, not quite the same response (not good) as other block breaking games. There is also no powerup icon guide to tell what each power up does. Nor is there any directions on the level map what a solid check mark vs check mark outline means. Or what a circle means on the level. I know it showed help dialog once for objective to not get any powerups. Is that for all levels with a circle? Fix those things and rating would be higher. Good graphics!

I like this game quite a bit. Its a fun twist on a classic brick breaking game, and I like the mechanic of upgrading your paddle and balls. Would get 4 stars if it werent interface issues that make the game difficult to control. tapping the paddle to use your power (anywhere on the screen or using a second finger?) is frustrating, and the slide-up mecahnic for stopping the mine doubles with my phone's slide-up app change. Also: let me pay for something other than gold, it feels like cheating.

Genuinely surprised, minimal ads, don't need to buy things irl to progress, super nice graphics. The controls could be better. It ought to be a function of where your finger is, not a function of the direction your finger moves. The reason is many times if I press the screen medium-like it won't correspond—game over.

Almost Perfect. Beautiful aesthetic and a great idea. But like most mobile games, all the extra stuff is overly complicated. Shoddy physics, terrible level design. Becomes repetitive and boring when you run into a metal wall where you can't really control the ball. Unfortunately there aren't many mobile games like this that are any better. This is really the best you're gonna get. Which isn't saying much.
