Holedown for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great game butGreat but I want to be able to turn off the sound effects so I can listen to music or podcast without the constant ball noises. Would be 5 stars with this addition..Version: 1.0.0
✓ A Perfect Pocket GameResponsive, Innovated, Endlessly Fun. The perfect game to pick-up and play, even if you only have a minute to spare..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great gameSimple but very fun. Lots of “one more go”..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great conceptGreat simple concept that can be very addicting and endearing. I still play it even though there has been no development in a couple years. They totally could monetize this game with just some tweaks to gameplay and development of challenges, achievements and levels. Please jump back in on this game!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Fun experience!As many have said, yes, it’s short. It’s a very fun game while on the go or if you’re craving a game that can completed in a few hours. I found it challenging at times, especially once I first started playing but once I maxed out all my upgrades, it was pretty easy. That being said, the game is beautiful, the sound effects are very pleasing, and the music is good. I’d highly recommend this amongst all your others games on iPhone! Hope more levels/gameplay changes are on the way!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great game over quicklyGreat, fun game love watching all the balls go crazy with the right shot. However it needs more levels..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Charming, simple, well worth itThe game has some charm, the sound effects and music are very good. There’s a real satisfaction when you get those balls bouncing around and the upgrade mechanics keep it fresh for a bit longer. Not without its quirks and flaws here and there, but I thoroughly enjoyed it..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Perfect design and polishAnyone getting into making games should really study this one.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Addictive, short playI can’t stop playing. Amazingly simple concept, done well. Great sounds. Immediate gratification for a well placed shot. You can play for 30 seconds, put it down, and come back whenever you like for more..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Addictive but needs more levelsWas able to complete all the upgrades within a couple of days. After that the game is still fun to play, but not that challenging..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Beautifully madeThis is a really great game but it’s way too short. Please please please add more packs with different features (I dunno, rocks that double stuff, or you have to find X things in Y moves...?) It won’t do very well this short - you might as well expand it..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great game but so short!Love this game but it’s way too short. I’d love some more levels please!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Good but need more levels !I love this game but I wish there were more levels and that we could do multiplayer. It’s a good game but it’s lacking in other areas. Not sure we get our moneys worth..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Can’t stop playingI am not a big gamer on my iOS devices but I cannot stop playing this game. It is highly addictive. I thought that once I competed all the planets I would not want to keep playing but I was totally wrong. Highly recommend..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Fun gameIt’s a fun game, but how do I turn sound effects off??.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Fun but Too Few LevelsReally liked this game! Graphics are nice and music/sounds are pleasing. My only complaint is that I was able to finish all the levels too quickly and now only have the black hole level, which isn’t as fun..Version: 1.0.3
✓ ❤️Unbelievably great..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Really fun ball bouncer!Guys ive had this since day one, deleted and maxed everything new again several times its a great game and an excellent job by all of you! But are we ever going to see new planets? New upgrades? Anything more to the game? Even as iap I would grab extra content no problem! Thanks again!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Perfect challenge:fun ratio!I’ll admit, I didn’t love this game at first. I had to try it a few times, reluctantly. After beating the first level, I couldn’t put it down. I picked up some techniques like shooting at specific spots on the rounded edge and paying attention to the numbers to think about my strategy. At first I was shooting randomly and crashing often. I beat all the levels and was happily surprised by the black hole level. Brilliant! Got my whole family hooked on this game. I’m excited for future updates and improvements. The simplicity is a major draw, but it could be fun to have power-ups and other types of blocks, like maybe squared corners to make it more challenging or diamond shapes. Anyway, this is a SUPER fun game and I highly recommend it!!!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great fun!I didn’t love it at first, but after a long flight it really grew on me and I was hooked. Has a great balance of strategy and random chance. Figuring out the angles reminded me a lot of playing pool. It’s a mix of pinball, pool at Tetris. My only negative is that it (ironically) lacks a bit of depth. You are pretty much doing the same thing the entire game (but with more balls). I would have loved to have seen a few more mechanics introduced as I progressed like combos, power ups, etc..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great but shortGreat game and concept and really addictive but only 5 levels? For the price I think there should be more upgrades... I got through the whole thing in two days - well the last level is infinite so obviously still going on that.. I now have s bunch of stars with nothing to do with them. I assume there will be more updates added?.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Simply funVery solid game from a very solid developer ;) You should try it!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ A satisfying, but short experience.Really satisfying feel to the gameplay. Could use more upgrades, more levels, more something. Maybe a challenge mode with blocks that have their own characteristics (flipping blocks on/off so the player has to time shots), or with balls that behave differently (arching maybe), or the board acts differently (moves up with time, not moves), or with a time limit. Not sure why I can continue to catch crystals when I’m playing the endless level and have all the upgrades, wish there was something to still put those toward. Really fun, was worth $4 to me, but I’d understand if someone were to say it was too much money for the experience..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Don't use the "New Game" Button 😰I used the "New Game" button, and it reset all my progress. I just wanted to get out of the level I was in. 😱.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Super fun game!Really enjoyed it and I’m soooo glad that it’s not one of those free games that are designed to trick your money. Well done 👍.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Nicely polished puzzle/strategy gameIt’s a nicely presented and polished puzzle/strategy game with great physics. It’s a great way for killing some time and involves some strategic precise aiming for achieving your end goal, plus it’s ideal as a quick pick up and play if you only have short periods of time to spare. I would like to suggest that between the “Sun” and endless “Black Hole” level; if there could have been maybe a few more levels such as perhaps maybe a Neutron Star stage, a Pulsar stage, a Quasar and then finally the infinite Black Hole. The reason for this is that they would have an end goal being the “core”, which is something the endless Black Hole stage doesn’t have which therefore doesn’t keep you quite hooked..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Would be worth the price, if there were content updatesGenuinely fun game mechanic! As it stands, you’re paying about $1 per hour of content, after which you’re stuck with one procedurally generated level. If that’s cool with you, check this out!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Love it! 😍The aiming and bouncing is smooth and enjoyable, and the progression system makes for an addictive “just-one-more-game” experience. No microtransactions or ads, just fine-tuned, quality gameplay. 👍👍.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Addictive like crackThis is the first game I have found on the App Store in years that I have genuinely been addicted to. The only downside is that the game becomes a little repetitive and easy by time you reach the last level. Please add more!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ CompulsiveOnly stopped when I realised the final level was infinitely deep, and I was never going to “win”. Great fun very simple.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great game!Just the right difficulty balance. Addictive. Haven’t love a mobile game that much for a while..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Amazing gameThanks to the developer for making such a fun and simple game.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great funA great little game. The mechanics are really fun, it’s exceptionally well polished, and the upgrade system is the perfect level of rewarding. Just what I was looking for - pay once, no in app purchases, perfect length - well worth getting.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Really fun!This game is fantastic! My wife and I are really enjoying it. I downloaded it last night and have been playing for hours today. This is an incredibly high quality game, from the gameplay to the art, animations, sound effects, and music. I’m really impressed that a small team can build something so beautiful, fun, and addictive. Also the fact that you just pay once, and there are no ads or in-app purchases. I’ll be buying every game this developer has released, and all the games in the future!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Fantastic game!I’ve been playing this game for months now and I still love it. Honestly, I’m pretty sure I’ve put more time into this game than any app... ever? I love it so much! Give it a try!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Terribly addictiveThis has great ‘one more go’ appeal..Version: 1.0.3
✓ When you get that perfect angle...Lovely game... Simple and short. Occasionally frustrating but when you get that perfect angle and see the little lights burst furiously between blocks, smashing the numbers down faster and faster, you realise it's all worth it and you know that there is good on the world, and that you have seen it..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Very enjoyable, but a little short for the priceHoledown is very fun to play. The controls are simple, the art is simple (yet beautiful), and the sound is pretty good; however, this game took me very little time to complete. The worlds are cool and all, but they all feel the same. This would only be 3 stars if there wasn’t an endless mode included. GREAT BUT SHORT.Version: 1.0.3
✓ The best and most addictive mobile game I’ve played!The mechanics are super solid. Runs without bugs. Not a huge impact on battery life nor makes phone hot (6S). The game is engaging and the difficulty curve is near perfect and it continues to be interesting all the way through to the end. May or may not have spent half the day at work playing it....Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great game and addictingPlease add support for removing all sounds and not just music please.Version: 1.0.0
✓ These balls are the best ballsThis game is the best of all the Ballz-like games I've played. At first I was little concerned about the price for such a game, but I went for it and I am not disappointed. I played so much since downloading it last night that I’ve already finished it and have been focusing on getting better shot records. Very few games grab me like this and I really appreciate it when one does. The only issue I’ve had is the cloud save doesn’t allow me to transfer between devices so I had to play only on my iPad. Thanks for such a great gaming experience..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great way to pass timeLove it, but i do hope there’s more update coming? Sometime there’s also a glitch where the blocks that was supposed to drop did not drop when the locked block was destroyed....Version: 1.0.3
✓ Love itPerfectly polished. Addicting gameplay that helps pass the time. Love that it’s pay up front (which guarantees that gameplay isn’t arbitrarily grindy/crippled to make you watch ads or fork over more cash). Paced well and getting 99 balls was challenging. Well worth the price of admission. Review written by an indie game dev with love and appreciation for these types of honest games, Amir - creator of A Dark Room.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Well presented and fun gameHoledown is lovely little game that you can come back to play in small chunks. The game is so satisfying when you hit a perfect shot that causes a huge amount of ricochets. The progression system means that every ‘run’ contributes to improving. It’s a simple premise but beautifully presented. The low rating is because currently cloud saves don’t work and due to a bug I also lost all save data randomly. This forced me to start a new game. Right now I can’t bring myself to reinvest the lost time. Shame. Update: It looks like the bug has been fixed so my rating has been updated..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Absolutely StellarPay once, play for hours, simple, yet deep (hurrrr). Can’t recommend it enough! Just such a satisfying and polished little thing..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Addictive, but quite repetitiveFun, although addictive. Once you know how to increase the number of rebounds, it feels quite repetitive..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great fun if you want some mental exercise!Holedown is a simple puzzle game that balances your own strategic thinking skills against run-based roguelite progression systems to create a casual, yet very fun and fulfilling experience. The gameplay, which is best described as a hybrid between Breakout and Tetris, allows you to dominate the game the more you use your brain, while also making things easier via upgrades between runs if/when you find yourself struggling. It’s a very smooth and addicting game loop that never grows stale for the duration of the game. It’s worth far more than it’s minuscule asking price, and easy to recommend..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Bit shortGood game but fairly easy and quick to finish. Needs more levels..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Best procedurally generated physics based ball drop gameThis is by far the best ball drop game. Worth every penny. New games come and go but I always return to holedown. The absence of ads, in ap purchases and power ups makes this a refreshingly clean game. Record 1207m.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Infinite replayabilityI have never reviewed an app before but I give this one five stars because I genuinely feel proud to own and play it. It’s so simple, satisfying and tricky to master that it makes for a perfect timewaster. I’ve logged many hours, reset my progress many times, and always keep coming back. I’m hopeful for a sequel with added features but for now this is a rock solid ball blaster that is easy to play and fun to master..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Needs more diverse gameplayThis game is pretty fun the campaign took me about 4 hours to beat but after that there isn’t much to keep the player engaged. Sure there’s an endless mode but it’s just the same concept but without an end goal. The game price, I would say, is a little greedy (you are practically paying for a premium version of many free brick breaker games that are already out there) and I think there needs to be more worlds that introduce in game power ups, currently the only in game power up is the purple currency used to buy upgrades. I think there should be more upgrades in the blocks that you break that give you advantages while playing. Although I almost guarantee this game won’t be updated to add more content I think it desperately needs it to make the game more worthy of its price. I also understand that the developers think that they have a $4 price point standard for each of there games but even though these games look well polished they need more content to justify this “standard” This whole review was poorly put together and probably sounds like a poorly thought out rant but oh well 🤪.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Holedown - Simple but Seriously FunI purchased this title on a whim about a month ago. I enjoy ‘physics puzzler/platformers’, but this game didn’t initially scream “buy me”! I took a chance and purchased it, and from the get-go I could feel that every aspect of the gameplay is satisfying and challenging in a way that is fair and will kill as much time that you have to spare. I would like more levels - or planets - (only 5 or 6) and then an ‘infinite’ mode. Also, I maxed out the upgrades fairly quickly so I’m hoping that a content update is in the works. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Super fun and addictiveThis game is perfect for short spurts, but I find myself wanting to play “just one more” (which turns into 10 more, LOL). It’s optimized for large phones, the file size is small, the graphics are awesome, the controls intuitive. It’s perfect for when you want something fun and lightly challenging and not mind-bending. You do have to think, but it’s light strategy with some luck involved. It strikes a great balance. No ads. No crazy IAPs. I heartily support developers like this, there aren’t enough out there. Thanks for a great game! This will be staying on my phone!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Pretty funPretty fun, very addictive. Though cloud saves don’t seem to be working. Played a bunch of levels on my phone, installed on my iPad, but the game has started fresh. Also, notifications that make a sound kill the in game audio. You have to minimise (not actually quit/close it) the game and open it back up to re activate the sounds..Version: 1.0.0
✓ I'm hooked!Haven't had this much fun since Peggle. The price is really easy to justify and I love that there are no annoying ads or microtransactions. The game is really cute and difficulty scales really nicely to whatever I'm in the mood for. Pick this one up!!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great game.Great game as is. An idea for a couple of future upgrades could be having the ability to move the line after shooting the first ball (higher levels being able to move the line more/faster) and have the danger line counts hits on the blocks before ending the run (higher levels counting more hits)..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Nearly perfectThis is an amazing game, it’s incredibly simple, yet incredibly complex, I only have 3 problems, price is a little steep, 4 dollars is a lot for this kind of game, 2 dollars is more reasonable, you can only mute the music, you can’t mute the sound, and lastly, this is more of a bug, I lost my progress and had to start over, still fun tho.Version: 1.0.0
✓ One niggle at endI really like this game. However, I’m at the endgame now, with everything unlocked, and having to sit through it counting every gem I get when there’s no longer any reason even to keep track is frustrating. When I die I just want to plunge back in..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great game, still has room to growI love the game, it’s a game I find myself playing “just because”. I just wish as others have said...power ups!! Also I have 9347 crystals hahaha. I need something to spend it on.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Super fun and challenging puzzle gameI haven’t had this much fun with a mobile game in a while. Its puzzles are good, the game has nice progression so you never feel bored, and it’s SO POLISHED! Very pretty and bouncy ✨.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Love the game, all my game data was lost.I had just beaten the third planet. So close to making out my upgrades. Then the next time I opened my game I was “out of shots” on the first planet with no upgrades. Warning your game might erase itself somehow..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great Game- Too ShortIt’s a sad thing, when I finally find a fun mobile game that’s not gouging me for micro transactions but it’s about as long as a movie. This game is maybe two hours long at most, if you get into he hang of how it’s made. After that, there’s no end reward or anything. Just a final ‘infinite mode’ to waste time on. Disappointing..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Quite fun but the endgame could use a bit more.The journey up to beating the game is addictive fun. Once you reach the end though it peters out. An Idea, once you’ve spent all the crystals you can maybe swap them out for temporary power ups. Chain lightning, multiball, drillball, etc..Version: 1.0.3
✓ A thing of beautySuch a great game. Like Tetris Arkanoid and pinball had a glorious ménage a trois. Wish there was an infinite version..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great Game- could use a little more content.Found this because of NorthernLion and bought it right away. Pretty fun and addicting. I would love to see more content out of it. (Higher levels, different solar system, perks, idk).Version: 1.0.5
✓ I dig itDig down to success, in this neat ball bouncing puzzler. Entertaining and satisfying in equal measure. An extremely well designed game that costs next to nothing and doesn’t seem to feature any annoying in-app purchases. My favourite iOS game in a long while..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Wow!This game is amazing!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Yes please!I've never written a review before. Thought I'd finally do one. This is a solid little game. Mechanics are easy enough for even my 3 year old to use. Game play is very satisfying. Only compliant is the price tag. If I hadn't read a review for the game online that boast about this gem, I probably would've past it by. Only hopes for Holedown in the future-More updates. Once you've beaten it-Not much replay value. Few more planets, upgrades, etc. would make the coin worth it. Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great but needs more contentFab game, but needs some more levels / worlds, ends too soon!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great game with one issueTruly great game, I love playing any chance I get. The inability to turn off sound effects when I’m listening to podcasts, music or even phone calls is baffling. The only option I can find is to switch my phone to silent but this is not optimal..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Better than BallzI love this charming indie spin on the “ballz” formula. Familiar enough to scratch the dame itch but unique and different enough to be well worth the price of admission. The unlockables, upgrades and high replay value make this a hard one to put down! Get it!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ The best thing since Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-TartsWow! This is the most sweetly addictive game I’ve played this year. I was skeptical of trying it at first. It just didn’t look like something I’d love. After seeing so many rave reviews, I decided to give it a try. So glad I did. I’ve finished the main game, but still can’t stop playing. The physics — and surprising amount of strategy — have got me hooked. I only hope the devs will create more add-on levels. Brilliant stuff. ❤️.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Really cool but...It would be cool to add : More upgrades ; More levels ; Stats ; Customization like different ball Colors and themes. Anyway, it’s a really cool game 🙃🔥.Version: 1.0.1
✓ On my third play-throughI truly enjoy this game so much that I’m playing it for the third time. It’s simple in concept and gameplay, the animation is pleasing, and the experience is a delight. It relaxes me, and serves as both a gaming snack when waiting in line at the bank, and something to enjoy when you have time for a longer play session. I sincerely wouldn’t change a thing..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Please add some more complexity to endless modeSomething like an ability to use crystals as bombs, so that the later endless modes are more interactive/complex I know there is basically no financial incentive for something like this, but it’d be cool if you did some more support c:.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Love it but needs more features added.Needs ability to start at deeper starting depth on Black hole. Takes forever to challenge high scores over 1,000 depth. More planet worlds need to be added to keep continued play interesting and challenging. Acquired items also do not sync when going from one machine to another (e.g. iPhone to iPad).Version: 1.0.3
✓ Simple little gameSimplistic, charming graphics, a cute worm (?) in the bottom corner of your screen and fun music and sound effects makes this a very enjoyable game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long to beat it and once you’re finished there isn’t much to do except for the endless level at the end which gets boring pretty fast..Version: 1.0.7
✓ An extremely nice gameI like it heaps.Version: 1.0.0
✓ AddictedI’ve played a whole ton of this game. I love it. I do wish there was another level to it though. I’m at the end and have nothing else to do but aim for high scores. Perhaps a challenge mode? Anyway, great stuff..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Loads of fun!Really good little one-finger game. Beautifully put together. However, no option to mute completely and it’s over too soon. Blackhole is ok, but it’s kind of dead after the sun. Nothing changes..Version: 1.0.0
✓ BonkersI absolutely love this game, scarily addictive and when it really gets going, as mad as a box of frogs..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Best Game EverThe perfect game that I keep playing over and over again. I’d love to buy a version 2!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ One of my all-time favoritesAn excellent source of Dopamine 😅 The sounds and feel are perfect an almost perfect block breaker game.Version: 1.0.10
