I’ve been really interested in pachinko games and I’ve yet to find one not plagued with ads or in-app purchases. This game is addicting and fun! There’s something satisfying about breaking the bricks and it’s relaxing. I hope the developers continues support or releases more levels. I’d love to see a sandbox or randomized level generator for infinite play! I saw there was a tower update, but I guess I’m not far enough to play that yet. It probably unlocks when I complete all the levels.

I like to think that I am a patient person... “so I didn’t beat that round, no big, I’ll get back to it later and beat it eventually” is my general attitude. This is not a “fun” game. If you want a challenge, well this game has that in spades! But do not play this game to relax. There is almost no direction, the menu to get from level to level has none. Every level is time based, you are given a finite number of balls to shoot, and there is a very easily hit “devil hole” that if hit removes 3 of your limited supply of balls. The board is seemingly designed to “assist” you in hitting this hole to the point where on several levels it is unavoidable. Also, the game physics tend to make your ball bounce to the left, even in some cases where the layout of the board would make it bounce right. I like these games, I enjoyed Peggle back when it came out, I have not enjoyed this game at all, it is so bad that I am likely to delete it. I cannot recommend this game.

So far, this is the best pachinko style app on the app store with a disclaimer: I have only downloaded and played about a dozen up until now. Some of the pluses here are realistic play (given touch screen limitations), no ads or iaps, lots of various screens, pleasant and upbeat animations and sound effects. Really, this one nearly has it all...but with just one thing, Dev, how about adding optional landscape mode for iPad??? 👍👍👍👍👍
