This game is awesome at first but when I completed level 8 I got exited out of the level at first I thought it was a bug until I realized there was a levels that u need to play the rest of levels, I was like (no problem, I’ll just play the worlds) but no, they cost money too, (3D world i said) Yeah that, cost money, I hope the developer make this game free, I would rate 5 star if it didn’t cost money, but I give this a 4
Wow! I saw Red Ball 4! Before playing, I had play this game! Too many levels! My dad said that he is not paying the rest of the levels for JUST 1 DOLLAR! 1 dollar isn’t that much. You can play 8 levels for free. After playing all levels I am playing Red Ball 2!! At least make the entire World 1 free! Why is this game 3.3 stars? This should be 5 stars! If you win, you get a ad. Please make it so you get an ad ONLY if you beat 2 levels. At least this game is good! NOW HAVE A BAD DAY MICHEAL FRIEDMAN!!!!! 😡😡😡 Wait no- Good day Micheal Friedman! So do everyone else! One question for Micheal Friedman: Are you going to keep adding levels to make this game have ♾ levels? UPDATE: Micheal Friedman, I was trying to be nice to you, but you didn’t see this review! WHY did you change “Red Ball” into “Rouge Ball”? Yeah, this change doesn’t affect the gameplay tbh. Can you change it back? It would make me proud to do so. 😇 For now on, my 5 stars “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” has been turned into 4 stars “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨”. I will change it back into 5 stars “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” if you change it back into Red Ball. END OF UPDATE.
There’s a few reasons I can see why you’d want rebrand this. Im assuming either you wanted to make it fresh again, or you wanted the Red Ball series to start with a different “Red Ball 1” cause this feels outdated. If its just generally the new brand, or even just a change in name for this one game, I emplore you to consider what I’m going to say: There’s a psychological reason why “Red Ball” sticks with people. It’s simple, memorable, and pairs well with the art you use to promote it and the gameplay itself. “What the heck is a Rouje? Rouje ball? I cant even interpret that.” Everyone is gonna skip it. Under the possibility you just did that so another more modern game in the series can be “redball 1” and start from there up… “Rouje Ball” is weird and confusing. Pick a better title atleast if you want this app to still sell. There’s no question that the original Red Ball (this game) still has unique factors that makes it so successful to this day. Compared to the other entrees in the series, the simplicity of this game makes it much more popular among adults. Im 25 and still sometimes I pull my phone out of my pocket just for a couple minutes at a time to play this. It’s a simple pickup and play if I have a few minutes and need something to do. I would NOT do that for the other games, they’re just for a different audience in general who don’t need that. I remember when I first played redball 2 ten years ago I thought “wow this is so different from the first redball.” I remember it scratching an itch, but not quite the “Red Ball” itch. So a name change to set it apart from the rest of the series I actually support. All in all, just don’t drop the ball on this game. If you’re going to give it a new name, give it one that will do it justice, and capture the attention of the audience that loves it. There’s still a place for it in the mobile gaming industry. Im still giving it 5 stars because it’s a masterpiece that I enjoy daily.
