    I got the blue ball in a random box. Maybe the game isn't registering the correct ball equipped unless you buy the ball from the store?

    EDIT: I just unlocked a third ball and now the ball selection seems to be working fine!

    damn!! was loving it until I got the watch ad to revive thing. picked up the no-ads IAP but can't circumvent the watch ad to continue. Apart from that it's perfect but that's me done for now.

    Revenues' Model

    Hello guys,

    Very good game. However Id like to state that the Revenue Model that you chose is not the best for the user.
    It requires a time (watching a video) plus it uses my data plan. Basically I'm being charged more than I should IMO.

    Aside from that, overtime I was offer to watch a video for a second chance, double the gold or even the "mandatory" add to keeping playing, the game froze and it didn't save my record.

    This is a big no no. I'm a little on the fence here on whether buy or not the add removal.

    I supported tons of games that had this financial model and in the long run I always regret because all the glitches related to video adds.

    I understand that you have to make money and I'd like to support you on that, but from my experience, videos are a very bad business decision.

    I'd say that a coin doubler would be way better and charge gold for a second chance, double reward and such.

    By doing that you'll have complete control of your game and therefore won't rely on crappy video add service.

    Best,

    Bruno

    Imho, if there is a way to remove forced ads (and really remove them), then there is no problem.

    Such a fun game. Great execution, controls are super responsive, intuitive UI/UX, simple premise, yet hard to master. Love it! Keep it up guys!

    The iap will remove all forced ads. The opt in revive option is still available however. We werent sure if we wanted to give a free continue for those who bought the remove ad iap or reduce the price of the remove ad iap and leave the video revive in. We may still adjust this but if we do, the remove ads iap might bump up to 1.99.

    Played for like 5 minutes and was done with it. I mean how many endless high score chasers can we have utilizing a simple one note mechanic?

    Simple but fun, and as a basketball fan I gladly bought no-ads.

    Also having the ball select bug though. Unlocked purple, but it won't let me select the original color. When I scroll through the ball menu, it goves a play arrow for the original color and 'select' under purple, but hitting the play button plays the purple ball, and hotting select does nothing. iphone 6+, 10.1.1

    I actually like this game. As a Noodlecake fanboy I always buy or download every game.

    So far the reason Ive given this game 4 stars is because I went and purchased the ball that doubles the coins. Well it upsets me that the effect doesn't work for all balls. So I'm forced to use only that ball. I would have paid $2 if the effect worked on all balls. But it should work on all balls. Not just the one. It needs to be addressed.

    That is a good point. We might change this up later. Thanks for the idea.

    you still need to watch an ad to continue, unfortunately. If you don't mind that (and unfortunately I really do) it is a great little high-score chaser game.

    The amount of money to play this game and remove ads is so small it staggers the mind that people bring it up. If you don't want to use data plan for videos to get a continue maybe they can give an option to spend gold coins.

    Noodlecake knows how to make addicting games. They seem to come out regularly and I look forward to all of them. Jupiter Jump is still one of my favorites. They get the feel of their games so great.
