Idle Ball Escape: Smash Rings

This game has so many ads, so many bugs, and only has enough content for like an hour of gameplay yet they have a bunch of micro transactions that aren’t worth anyone dime. There are only 4 levels and there’s been no update in over 3 months. 1 of the abilities (knowledge) references features that aren’t even built into the game yet. The level progression was clearly not tested since it takes forever to level up yet the rewards for leveling up are obsolete. Like you earn $200 starting cash at level 50 which at the point is quite literally useless. If you get over a certain amount of money in a game, it goes into the negatives which is a huge bug. Each time you end a game there’s a stupidly long unskippable ad. Sometimes one of the upgrades is optional with an ad, that’s fine, but if you click any of the upgrades you’ll get an ad anyways. To be clear this game has so much potential. The gameplay is super fun and relaxing. But unfortunately I’m almost positive this game is a shameless vibecoded money grab with zero intention of any meaningful updates. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Hey, I’ve got a decent bit of respect for the game, so wanted to just add some ideas and pointers for you. Bouncing ball and freeze are ridiculously strong purely because they allow you to get keys more often. Not wrong necessarily that that is a strategy, but want to mention it. Please add an option to improve up to legendary with an add, even if you remove it from the pool regularly it’ll feel better than the forced ad. Also, currently if you get a legendary there is a forced ad whether or not you click it, which feels a little bad as well. I really like your upgrade system, just would love to see it expanded on! Another mention with your ads is that sometimes they just repeat the same ad over and over again, I have no experience there but if possible please allow it to rotate through ads or something. Ads are already mind numbing, last thing you want is to make it worse. Great job overall!! Please continue to work on projects and make this one larger and better <3

So there’s a few reviews about the forced ads. Yes, there’s a lot, and they’re quite annoying. HOWEVER -> they’re super manageable if you do the no service no WiFi trick - and your progress won’t be lost. Then there’s that other 1 star review about not being able to control the ball. Idk about any advertisement for this game that let you control the ball and i doubt an advertisement like that exists since this game is 2 weeks old lol I doubt they would’ve changed their advertisement so soon. That user clearly hasn’t heard of an “idle” game. As far as this being an idle game, it’s really not imo. It’s more so a progression game.
