Got it on sale for a $1. Played for about 10 minutes. Got my money's worth. Somewhat unique challenging twist on a classic genre...needs more mechanics to make it interesting and more than just a basic proof of concept.
MY SUGGESTIONS (for this dev or other devs inspired by this game concept) I would make the hole a bit smaller but keep the paddle radius about the same, but I would have the paddle be able to set up barricades using resources from drops, that get destroyed in one hit or can be upgraded to take two hits for maybe 10x the cost, also make the game field larger, more blocks, more paths for the balls to bounce around in even if just sort of idly while you gather resources with the paddle, and maybe also send out more balls either based on a timer or an energy system, or just from gathering resources, and have balls of various types to preform various tasks...maybe certain types of balls only do damage to certain types of bricks or can activate switches. Also needs more power ups... I can see why there are few as it is, because the game is too chaotic and wild to control as it is once too many things are going on...this could be mitigated with the barricade mechanic I suggested....maybe up to two rows could be built...you could even seal yourself off and just let the balls do the work if you are fast enough grabbing all the resources before they fall into the hole...also there could be a tractor beam and little trolls that wander around and try to steal the resources as they roll towards the hole....
These are just ideas....not actual stuff in the game... I like to confuse people with my reviews by talking about stuff I WISH was in the game instead of the stuff actually in the game...because there is not much stuff in this game. Hope more updates will happen someday. Not holding my breath though. I just basically outlined everything for a sequel after all...
