Balls Go High

Due to predatory game design choices, purchasing the ad removal doesn't remove ads. There are upgrades that use a free in-game currency to upgrade, and occasionally they will be given to you for "free" if you watch an ad. However, when you are offered the "free" upgrade you can't upgrade that aspect further unless you watch the ad, even when you purchase the ad removal. Simple game that could be a neat time waster that has absolutely awful predatory practices.

I should have read the reviews before paying to remove adds. To do ANYTHING in this game you have to watch adds. Most rounds aren't even as long as the adds you have to watch. I get keeping them for the bonus multipliers at the beginning and end of the round as optional. But the add every third upgrade is asinine. You can avoid adds if you play the game without doing any upgrades, but then you're fighting an uphill battle. Just avoid this one.

Honestly, it's a good game nice little time killer between cars at work. I only have two issues, one being the physics of the balls when you hit the ground at the end. I would appreciate it if they scattered a lot more. Kind sucks getting 488 balls and watching 200 - 300 get washed away in one fell swoop. The other problem is locking the occasional upgrade behind an ad that never goes away unless you watch it.

Give this one a pass. It's just another advertisement app pretending to be a game. You'll spend 10 seconds playing the same level (with ads prominently displayed at the bottom and left of the screen) and then spend thirty seconds watching an ad before moving on to the next level..... Which is the same level you just finished bar some cosmetic changes. 0 stars.

There are way too many ads. And you get the same ads over and over again. Then after watching the ad, the button to close out the ad is so small half the time it takes you to the play store for that ad and you have to restart the app to play again. Also, it's hard to level up quick at all, so with the extra 30 to 45 second gap in between rounds due to ads, this game is almost unplayable. If you want to run ads, maybe run them every other or every third game :)

Voodoo has a knack for annoying ads, but the ads in this game take it to the next level. Every level has an ad. Spending points to upgrade stuff will put in a "watch ad for free upgrade" after a couple clicks so you tap it on accident. The ads themselves require 3-5 taps on icons that each appear designed to end the ad, but won't. They also ensure you have an internet connection in order to play so you can't avoid the ads that way either. It's not fun enough to pay for ad removal either.

So this game is full of ads and won't let you play offline to avoid them. Even after you pay to remove ads, you're pretty much forced to watch them anyways because after so many upgrades you can't bypass the "free" one unless you watch. The levels don't change as you play and honestly don't think they count the balls correctly. The leader board is definitely fake as the names change everytime you play. It's okay to play to pass time but it gets boring quick. It could be fun with improvements.

Buying ads does not remove ads!!!! It removes forced ads, but is still full of times you can't upgrade and progress without watching an ad. It's a shame because the game is fun, and if they hadn't blocked my progress I would have put up with all the accidental clicks that start an ad after I paid $3 to remove them. But saying you can remove ads and then putting them as walls to progress is predatory and wrong!

Paid for the ads to be gone right away. Any varients to the balls, you still have to watch ads. Game is very simple, but having to watch an ad every third upgrade after paying for no ads feels counterintuitive. I got to the number one spot on the leader boards within a day, it's not hard. Collisioun and depth perception are a little off. I'd clip through sky ramps, and miss landings i should have hit. If you have an afternoon to burn, sure. Go for it, just expect a LOT of ads.

The game is okay, but it is broken. If you hit certain ramps at a certain angle, the balls will just fall through the map and reviving won't work. It is also just like every other free game these days in the sense that they have maximized ad delivery. You have to watch one after every level. You have to watch one in order to get higher scores. Even upgrades force you to watch ads sometimes instead of using the in-game coins. Wish games would get less greedy. Occasional ads are fine. This isn't

Once you reach a certain distance just short of around 400000, the balls fall through the map. Another review states the same thing. I'm confirming. Unable to proceed in the game at this point. Also, I paid for no ads. Still forced to watch ads to upgrade. Also already reported in reviews. Again, confirming. Pointless to play the game any further. Save your time and find a different game.

It's a fun game, but has so many unnecessary issues. First, paying 2.99 for no ads is a scam. It removes ads between each game, but to ever advance, you're forced to watch ads. Lots of them. It has very weird features. For instance you can have 100 balls to start and it will offer you +50 if you watch an ad. Well, you watch the ad and then you have 50 balls. So you made them money and they stole balls from you. At the end is a long animation for scoring. Hitting "skip" makes this take longer.

All Voodoo games suck because of the ads, but they are usually pretty decent when it comes to the mindless, time wasting, fun concepts. However, this one gets 1 star (0 if I could give it) because the mechanics are completely broken. Often the balls just fall through the track, ending the level. It could be fun if it wasn't totally broken, but it ends up just being wildly frustrating.

An exciting game of ads with a little bit of mini game in between adds. Before starting a round, you have a small ad on screen. During round there is a small ad at the bottom, after round there is a video ad. Rinse and repeat. A round takes like 10-15 seconds. Better you are the faster it is. Adds videos in between take almost as long. Game is free, but there needs to be balance. Cannot get into a grove when you are spending more times in ads than playing.

I want to like this game but unfortunately I hate it because every 10 seconds it's an ad it never fails ads ads ads ads ads you have no idea how sick and tired of ads I am!!! You can't even play any longer than six maybe seven seconds of gameplay before you have to watch another ad and that's over and over and over and over and over and over again. Thanks to this game I've smashed three phones and broke two windows! Your ads make me RAGE!!!!!!! F#%$ this Game.

Most ad riddled game I've seen in a minute and that's saying something. Gameplay loop is waaaayyyy too quick to support 30 second advertisements after each round. Maybe one every three or four would be stomachable. But then they have "reward" ads attached to everything as well. Gotta love "free" upgrades that lock you from using earned currency until you watch the ad.

I used to like this game a lot for killing time without having to apply my full attention. Nowadays, the balls glitch through the track onto the water constantly, and I'm either forced to watch an ad to "continue" then end up having the screen go black and freeze, OR say "no thanks" and be forced to watch an add in order to get back to the start page. PLEASE fix it and reduce the add frequency.
