This update is nice, but the game doesn't work anymore! You can't block the ball for some reason - it's strange.

May 31, 2016

Really? That doesn't happen for me...

So you can't block the ball? Does the bar turn red when you press it?

May 31, 2016

Oh, never mind... That was a misconception on my end. How come it's not screen-controlled? That's what I naturally thought it would be.

June 01, 2016

Screen controlled? I don't know what you mean.

June 01, 2016

Currently, you have to touch the bar in order for it to stop the ball. I didn't understand that. I thought that rather you just could press anywhere on the screen and it would trigger the bar to block the ball. I think that that would be a good idea.

When someone says screen controlled they're referring to something similar to this.

June 01, 2016

I was confused because technically this game IS screen controlled. Just not the WHOLE thing. I'll try and increase the button size sometime in the future :)

Oh! Ok! Good luck!

If u try to block while ball is in middle of red part the ball will go soooooo slowly that you will have to restart the game. Only happened to me once but can u fix it?

December 23, 2015

It's a very rare sight. It will speed back up once it hits a wall. There's not much I can do, the game is almost all random. Try my other version: Block It Elite. The ball for some reason never seems to do that there.

I am so dang tired of Ketchapp, they made an exact copy. I searched up Block It and found it.

December 23, 2015

I remade the game. :D It was Ketchapp who originally had the game and I thought I could remake it with my own little features. I copied their idea.

December 23, 2015

Ah.

December 22, 2015

This is a very old game, so I don't think I can add the new custom text. I can't find it.

December 23, 2015

What do you mean?

December 23, 2015

I can't find the new "Helvetica" font while editing this game.

December 23, 2015

If you're trying to change a label that's already on screen, it uses the old BMFont system (which is still in place, for older games, or performance reasons on games that need them). If you add a new label, it will use the new TTF font system, where you can then import and select system fonts.

It's fun. I suggest making the "block" button bigger.

November 09, 2015

Thanks, for both the compliment and the suggestion. I need both of those. :) I'll try to expand the button as much as possible. Are you the developer of DomiNations? (The mobile game)

November 09, 2015

No, I had no idea there was such a game. My name is sort of a nod to my Gamepress name(s).

Addicting

The added sounds really make it much better.

October 30, 2015

Thanks. The game really needed sounds.

Cool game but I'm not very good at it

September 29, 2015

I agree with @Behroz, the red button needs a cool down. Also, I just feel as if the game is a bit empty. Perhaps adding more power ups and more balls that slowly join the game as you progress? I don't know, just some ideas. Other than that, great game, good work.

September 29, 2015

The red button has a delay. It was added in the latest update. As for the idea of adding more balls as the game progresses, I also thought of that but it would be impossible. Think about it: You block one ball, but another ball comes straight at you right after. You can't block the second ball because of the timer delay. You have to wait 1.5 seconds before being able to block again. So if a second ball comes at you within a 1.5 second time frame from the previous ball, it would be impossible to block it. But yes, the game is still a bit empty and that's why I added the power ups in the first place, as well as a hard mode and an extra ball to use. I'm looking for more power up ideas, though. :)

September 28, 2015

Cool game so far, but you need to make some sort of cool down for pressing the bottom button. There is nothing stopping me from continually pressing the button and never losing.

September 28, 2015

That's very true, and now the world knows. Haha. I released that game and it wasn't long before realizing it myself. I've been trying some things. That'll be my main focus from now on.

September 28, 2015

Nice game. Instead of using the red bar as a button, you could have a large invisible button fill the screen so that players can tap anywhere. Just make sure that power-ups spawn in front.

September 28, 2015

Thanks!!!! I'll try it out as it would be much easier to play.

September 27, 2015

18, hard mode. Good game, nice graphics.

September 27, 2015

Easy

September 27, 2015

The updates made it a lot better. My high score is 17 giving it a like

September 27, 2015

Thanks so much. I'm very glad the updates helped. The question is: what options were set when you got 17 as your score? :)

September 27, 2015

@Murtaza no it's fixed and the update worked. For a second the update wasn't releasing. I'm glad your always around to check though :) thanks

September 27, 2015

I have a very needed update ready, but am having issues adding it. Just so you know.

September 27, 2015

What issues are you having? Is it a bug with the Hub?

September 27, 2015

Needs a lot of work😕

September 27, 2015

Please check out the Hub Rules. Negative comments should include constructive feedback. If the game needs work, please tell them why, or how it can be better.

September 27, 2015

This game is fun,make some good graphics with good sound effects and music and this game will do great. Obviously you need a high score but I got 11 on my first shot.ill thumbs up when I see more progress made.

September 27, 2015

I also don't think I made the gameplay clear enough. Tap the red bar on the bottom of the screen to block the ball.
