Brick Out - Shoot the ball

Buggy physics. This game is great until you realize that the physics of the ball mechanic doesn't actually line up with the aiming preview provided when you shoot it. That makes for some really frustrating times... Enough so that I've decided to uninstall it. If they fix that I'd give it five. Edit: so I'm playing again and not going to lie I still really love the game. I'm not far enough into playing it again to make a in-depth review but I'm back so that says something LOL.

I was addicted to the original "Blackout" game from the 1970s...but this starts out with too many unexplained features and procedures. The results are frequently a big surprize. I'd rather know what I am aiming to do in order to knock down all of the bricks. Also, I remember a water ball but don't know how it differs from a regular ball. Perhaps an optional tutorial at rhe beginning could help. Thanks!

Downloaded this because reviews said that ads were minimal and noninvasive....I didn't even make it to level 30 before stopping to write this and then uninstall, because, contrary to what reviews said, was getting an intrusive amount of ads. At least one after every level or every other level, and if I was lucky, I might get two levels before an ad. On top of that, in the last five minutes I played, I had an intrusive amount of pop ups asking me to buy packs, or pay to remove ads.

I like the game. Colorful. Challenging. But. The ads are too much. After. Every. Single. Attempt. Fail or win. Ad ad ad ad. Sometimes you can't skip them after the 5 seconds or it tags on another 5 seconds just to annoy you. I'd prefer a banner ad on the game screen instead of the constant interruptions. Plus it freezes sometimes after an ad. So I'm deleting.

Plays an ad for every button you click in game. Want to open the app? AD. Close the level? AD. Select the menu, move on to the next level, restart a level, play a previous level? AD. Before EVERY single task you could possibly do in game there is an ad. When you spend 3/4 of the time the app is open watching ads, that's an instant uninstall. A pity, cuz it's more fun than other similar games of it's type. Those only played an ad every few levels though, much more reasonable.

Great game good way to kill time, but who decided to make balls bounce the way they do? The last time I threw a ball at a flat surface from some angle, it usually bounced off the surface at that or near that same angle. Not straight back at me or off in some weird direction. It needs to be fixed. It's really stupid, and if everyone thinks it's normal, then you guys need a geometry lesson. I have failed more levels due to bad geometry of a bounce than missing a shot. Will update if fixed.

the ads are out of control. you get one after every level. on top of that, they push this premium pass down your throat and if that wasn't enough, the microtransaction buy buttons are strategically placed over where you would normally click to play the level. this game is predatory and vile. save yourself the trouble. it's not worth the headache. if I could give it a negative rating I would.

Easy to play, with satisfyingly simple graphics. Initial layout of $2 a few levels in claims to eliminate pop-up ads (I'll update my review if this changes or expires at any point). Totally worth it, IMHO. I might get frustrated if it gets super hard, or bored if I keep getting 3 stars on most levels on my first try, but I bet I'll find myself playing once in a while just for the satisfying colors and shapes!

I love this game and really don't mind the commercials in exchange for free rewards. HOWEVER, the frequency at which the ads crash/freeze the game is unacceptable, especially mid-level when you have to close and restart the app, losing all progress on a level and sometimes your medals. Not cool. Also, commercials deceptively longer than :30 or with no timer at all are BS.

Funny how there are never ads available when I'm trying to earn the lightning bolt or lines up to continue play, but literally every other few seconds there are multiple 60 second ads playing. The ads are ridiculous and some are completely raunchy and inappropriate. The game itself is quite enjoyable, but the ads are out of control. Deleting.

Awesome! This game, other than the ads, can be fun if you TURN YOUR INTERNET OFF! It's an easy way to get ads out of my way. This doesn't have any constant issues and isn't laggy! On my phone. This requires real skill to play and master it through the several levels in the game. I love how many cool shapes you can make and triangles when you miss! All of the powerups are cool in every single different way possible! Have fun!

2nd update: I am done. I have had to restart the same level 4 times and its freezing, every single time! Update: The game keeps freezing every time I use a ball upgrade. I'll get halfway through a level and everything just stops. It seems to keep itself going by showing >>2 and then moves to >>3, however, my part is locked up tight. I have to restart the game and I've lost coins I purchased. I'll change my rating when that stops.

Ads!!! and lvls are boring. Every level is a perfect score, and after every game there's ads. And not a 5 second ad, they force you to watch the "interactive" ad for a minute before they show you the exit button. But clicking the close pop up button doesn't even let you close the ad, now you have a new screen with a timer! As if to say, are you sure you want to close this ad? Yes you dumb mf, I shouldn't have to take a full minute to close out of the same ad 3 times. Hope the creators get cancer

The adds for this game drive me crazy! Sneaky skip button, super small close button that you keep missing, 3 stage skipping, never ending, and worse, opening the game when you misclick, killing what ever you were doing before! I get adds are there and they like you to click, but this just beats all of them!

2/18/21 As usual, the game is pretty fun until you get past a certain level, and then there's no way you can win without coughing up cash. Uninstalling. UPDATE: 6/25/24 I've been playing for a week now, and the game has improved a lot. It's my favorite free game now. The ads are reasonable. I can get up into the level 500s now before I run out of advantages and hit the wall.

** Update **; Been playing for almost 4 years. Graphics are a delightful trip back in time from 21st century same same, Love the concept of the game. HOWEVER the ad frequency and length have become intolerable. I know you need to generate revenue, maintain a profit margin, and run a business. But its a little much. Too much of the time.

1 play = 1 advertisement Your success or failure has no impact. If you play a round, you must watch an ad. At the end of each round, you can close and restart the game. You'll save a little time. After all, that's all any of us have. Time. Don't spend your only time on earth watching ads for the profit motive of lazy game development. The game is just entertaining enough to make the pop-up ads tolerable. You WILL wish that the pop ups was the only problem!
