    Thank you everyone for your kind words and the support especially from the people getting piggy bank or some other IAP! It's amazing to see how many people love the game!

    It was just featured in Best New Games on the AppStore here in UK as well, wohoo! :)

    I prefer to play the game on phone as I can play it one handed and reach everything with just my thumb.

    If there is enough players we will definitely look into multiplayer, I think it would work really well for this type of game.

    Now back to endlessly refreshing the stats :rolleyes:

    You people are awesome! :cool:

    Yeah multiplayer would be so epic. So, how are the sales going, better or worse than expected?

    Update - Because no one else seem to have any issues with lag, i decided to remove Ball King and download it and reinstall it again, and for whatever reason, there is absolutely no lag now when the ball drops, even when i shoot the ball continuously, there is no freeze/lag.

    Ball King definitely does not disappoint (sprinkling bones is still my favorite so far), it's a fun game that is highly recommended.

    My 2 Cents - Still would love to see the sirens or even a car horn go off when a ball hits the car.

    Thanks for the info! Also if you want to improve performance/battery life you can switch off automatic replay recording in the settings, that way no replay video won't be recorded.

    I'll do more to the environment, lights were on the TODO list just run out of time. Luckily there is a lot of stuff planned for the updates! :)

    Scratches that Crossy Road itch. Bloody hell. Seriously insane to put down. :)

    My only "problem"? That icon does NOT do the game justice.

    What would you put on the icon? :)


    Also if you have ideas for new balls in the update let me know! I already have few lined up but if I like your idea I'll put it in the game as well.

    Don't change the icon! For once it's a good one.

    I really like it as well that's why I'm curious what else would people put there. I'm not a fan of busy icons.

    Neither am I. :) I dunno, maybe just have it zoomed in so it's just the ball and "stitches" without any background?

    Oh and by the way, the feature I really want is statistics (not GC). Something like this:

    Balls thrown: 167
    Balls scored: 126
    Games started: 12
    Time spent ingame: 15 minutes
    Balls unlocked: 6/50
    Backgrounds unlocked: 1/5

    This would be really awesome (although less awesome than multiplayer but you know what I mean) :)

    Fun, addictive, and cute.
    One of those type of games that talks to you when you are not playing; "come play me.... Come play for just a little while...." LOL

    I do like the mechanics of earning more balls Through points and videos.

    Fun sometimes having a diamond or letter to shoot for first,

    I have only one issue with the game on my iPad Air. Sometimes when I go to make a shot, I realize that I need to move my finger further then what the screen allows. Is there a way to 'cancel' the shot so I can re-adjust it?

    Otherwise, fantastic game!

    Surprisingly, I actually like the pink.
    I have a curse. Every time I suggest an icon improvement to a dev they say they can't change it or it's not a priority. When I like an icon enough to put it on my home screen, it gets changed. Happens a lot actually.

    I am surprised at how long the (really nice) flat minimalist iOS look has been out since 7 and yet developers don't even try to go along with it.

    To cancel a shot, simply slide your finger down to your home button (out of the screen).

    While i never will wear something pink-ish, i like the color of this icon very much. It's difficult to create a hooky icon anyways.

    Please, if you ever consider to give the car a sirene noise, make it as an option. Just the thought of it gives me a headache, lol.

    A big yes to some stats as stated before.

    Though i bought the Piggie, it will take me quite a while to unlock a new court, simply because i can't choose the balls myself. But no big deal, since i come back to this simple, yet highly addicting gem the most. Whenever i got two minutes - load the Ball.

    I still haven't got a clue of those three cups in the left top corner. One is highlighted, but i can't remember when or how i did it.

    Oh, forgot to ask for a way bigger start button, please.

    I just got the first cup highlighted by collecting it in the same manner you collect diamonds or letters. Not sure what it does though!

    When I try this, it still does not cancel. Instead, he still throws the ball, but only right in front of himself. No matter where I slide my finger too, it doesn't cancel. There is still one or two dashes of the throw line.

    Yes, that's how you cancel, just slide your finger to the bottom part of the screen and let go. Maybe "you're sliding it wrong? TM" :eek:

    Also check out this EPIC shot everyone, can't believe it https://everyplay.com/videos/16969526
