Update: I agree that the is VERY stingy with Extra lives. Could you make it more generous like the original game?Identical in all material ways to the original. I have been waiting and waiting to find this game on my iPhone! Thank you for producing it finally. However, my one criticism is the finger control is difficult to use and gets stuck. I thought this was merely an adjustment issue on my behalf but fear that it is is a glitch that may take away from its enjoyment and my ability to progress thru all the levels as I used to do. I used to be able to get Thru all 34 twice in one game. Time will tell but perhaps that should improved. Thanks again. UPDATE: continues to please and the sticking issue is mostly resolved. Thanks again !!

This game used to be so much fun and challenging was great because the player was given access to more lives. In the original Classic BrickBreaker. there was less FLIP and more LIFE. I left Fishdom when I saw that CB was now available, but I am thinking about going back to FD, more chances to beat levels. Bottom line - Stop being stingy with LIFE and generous with FLIP and people will feel that they can have a better chance of reaching levels thus enjoy the game more.I am a fan of BrickBreaker, however, this is my second rating of this game. No improvements have been implemented as far as recognizing that playing the game and earning more lives, and making it a possibility in reality that you can advance to higher levels. In the original game you worked hard and eventually you made it to level 34. Now, presently, this game has been modified for more failure. If you’re going to modify it, do it sensibly and make realistic changes such as less FLIPS and more LIFE(s). Until then I will be checking App Store and seeking out a good BrickBreaker game and sharing it with others who are interested.

Relief and Joy at the same time were a few of the emotions I experienced when I discovered BrickBreaker in the iPhone App Store! I had continued to play on my old Blackberry but when it bit the dust off I went to eBay to find another one and when the new-old one arrived, I was back at it with a vengeance. In the new version of BrickBreaker, user friendliness and speed are both far improved but like others said, not enough “lives” are being dispersed! But despite that little glitch, this game is my go to one for when I’m waiting for anything whether it be in the dentist’s waiting room or when I’m just killing time but no matter what, I continue to be enamored with this game and to me, it’s exciting and very addictive (in a good way!)!

One of the most addictive and time consuming games of all time is finally on the iPhone! I actually got pretty good on this game on my old Blackberry when I was recuperating from surgery. Since then my organization has moved on to iPhones and Samsung’s and I actually kept my old BB just to be able to play now and then. I tried some other BrickBreaker games but it just didn’t have that same feel or challenge and then the classic was available on my iPhone! Yes, the game was initially hard (like when I first played it on the Blackberry) but once you get used to it you can start piling up lives and points. I’m currently at 1.4 million points and 275 lives but it took a few days for me to get the hang of the game on a new platform.
