This is a fun, addictive game. The strategy lies in what angle to hit the blocks so that the balls bounce off perfectly and into another block or a wall or the same block, and maximizing the number of blocks you hit before the balls fall down into oblivion. You can increase your number of balls and “atk,” which I’ve figured out is the amount of damage each ball does to a block. You increase these from the home screen, using stars earned by watching videos or playing the game, or during a game by tapping a small blinking button at the bottom of the screen in between banner ads. You can rack up a ton of points as your balls and atk increase. You get a single “second chance” per game if you can’t erase all the blocks before they reach the top. A couple of glitches, though. First, sometimes the ads “time out” and you lose your options to add balls and atk to your current game. This will also cause you to lose your “second chance.” But if you kill the app and reopen, and resume the game, it resets this. Second, as you increase your balls and atk from the home screen, the ads become worth more and more and the app has difficulty handling the numbers. It crashes after each star-earning video from the home screen. Third, I just discovered that if you don’t “spend” your stars on atk as it increases to these high numbers, eventually the star count becomes negative! Watching more videos just makes your total count more and more negative. So I’ve had to stop watching videos for stars, and I can no longer increase my atk and ball count. Other than these issues, it’s a great, addictive, strategic game with an arcade feel, but not arcade speed.

Had some issues with getting rewards, but the game has had a lot of work done to it and is very addictive. I would recommend it if you’re tired of slow puzzle games ... the pace is what makes it fun.

There is an issue with some ad rewards - specifically with the ad for “Dragon City”. I have watched the ad at least 4 times and downloaded it as well but I can’t get the reward and I think it is because the final page of the ad does not have a direct link to the Apple App Store - first the link takes you to safari and then asks you if you want to open the App Store. After I download, i go back to Pinball vs Block and I get the “you must watch the video AND download the game to get the reward” message. PLUS, now Dragon City is the only app ad that comes up!!! Please fix this issue. I like the rewards and I don’t actually mind the ad too much because I have found some other games I like too. I really love Pinball vs Block but this is ridiculous!!!

Only played once so far. It was just what I needed tonight. Fun exciting more than enough to forget about my day at work. Hoping it doesn’t keep the real fun for those who pay up. Heaven knows we watch enough ads so we can play at no charge. So far so good... so great!Heidi G
