Love this game but….
Wed Dec 07 2022 MissaSophiaI absolutely love this game but it glitches too much and I’m tired of having to restart a level or close the game entirely because it doesn’t want to calculate when I’ve finished a level. I also updated the game and have yet to see the new level designs (I’m on level 840) which is disappointing. Also, I’m not sure why to spend the money you earn in the game to increase the profit of your balls or increase the amount of balls in general because I still end up with the same amount each time. I don’t get the vortex at the end of each level either. Clearly you will not make it to the vortex because you never have enough at the end. I’ve made it all the way to 75 and there’s probably hundreds before reaching the vortex. And because of these issues that’s why I’m only giving it 4 stars. Fix these issues then I will change it to 5 stars.
It could be better.
Wed Dec 21 2022 MikeChopsI purchased the option to remove ads just so I have a time waster, the three starts are for the fact that it is indeed a time waster. BUT, if you like the idea of progression, you may want to skip this. Upgrades don’t feel like upgrades, and they really don’t seem to make you any more powerful. There’s also a leaderboard with names which seemed cool, until I realized that there’s no profile option in the settings. So I’m assuming the leaderboard is just a list of generated names to make it feel like you’re getting ahead… As far as glitches, there’s a few VERY frustrating glitches that make this a deal breaker. Wrong camera angle when going down curves (which doesn’t correct), going too fast through the finish line doesn’t register chain breaks and causes the balls to just “float” aimlessly. Combo reset is based on time and not consecutive ball hits (how strange). And the worse is it’s very common for the end of a round not to register, forcing you to restart. Just a few tweaks and glitch corrections could make this worth it.
Potential is there, but lacking so far.
Wed Oct 12 2022 Mjmjmj12321The concept is nice and simple enough. Yay! Bright colors as the balls pop! But the implementation needs work.
First, the game takes over the audio. I love to listen to podcasts or music when I play games like this. That’s not an option because the app always shuts down whatever else is going on. The only way to listen is if you’re using an external device you can press play on after opening this game.
Then there are the upgrades. You can keep upgrading, but the effect stops after so many levels. And just into the 20s, so it doesn’t take long to max them out. There’s no reason the cash should top at at 2.1, that stuff is worthless anyways as all you can spend it on is these upgrades that quickly become worthless. I get the app probably couldn’t handle 100 balls popping out every time, so I understand the logistical reason to limit it to about 25, but at least let the score and combos go up with the upgrade.
Speaking of combos, there’s no reason they should be scored by time. A combo shouldn’t end because the balls go over a ramp. The combos should be based on how many balls you pop on each shot. Especially since they appear to be nothing other than flashy lights and one of 4 or 5 scripts that pop up.
This can be a fun little eye-candy time waster, but it needs some work.
Caps Out
Fri Jul 07 2023 Chlogray CrashThe idea of this game is absolutely amazing. The graphics are good, and there’s a lot of balls that you can get. However, I have noticed that the upgrades are absolutely fruitless after a short period of time. I have upgraded my income over 40 times, valued at 14,000 cash. It has capped out, however, none of the upgrades do anything anymore. I am still stuck at earning 2.9 cash for every ball. This is now the 11th upgrade that I’ve done that it’s been stuck like this. I’ve also noticed that the “more balls“ upgrade caps out as well. At this point, I should be producing about 500 balls per hit. It’s hard to enjoy the game when you cannot really progress i am now hundreds of levels in, and I purchased no ads so I could progress faster. Sadly, though, it was a waste. I may not have any advertisements, but can’t progress in the game. I would suggest updating where the upgrade caps out. Other than that it’s a good game but please make it worth it to your players!
Not as satisfying as it could be
Sat May 06 2023 DavieDaveDaversonI paid to have adds removed, I’m about 300 levels in, and have reached the point where upgrading no longer gets more expensive because they didn’t expect people to play this long. Once you hit a certain point you will just waste your in game currency. I have purchased the “more balls” upgrade 136 times most of which at $16,106 where it caps and watched countless ads to get more balls just to see if it really would change anything. I regularly finish levels with less than 100 balls going across the finish line. Most levels have three balls at the end to give you a satisfying boost of additional balls to send across the line. But if my math isn’t wrong, those 3 balls should spilt in to no less than 136x3 plus the countless ads I watched to get more. I should be sending literally 500+ balls across the line every time.
In closing, your game is dog water because the progression doesn’t work properly and I want my money back.
Love game, but needs improvement.
Sat Jan 07 2023 ByroBurtI love this game, but there are some glitches that need fixed. Unfortunately, the most recent glitch has led me to no longer want to play the game. I have been playing for 5 or 6 months now and I have gotten to level 2192. I was in 7th place after starting out in over 80,000th. Then, on the next turn, a glitch that puts me in 85,690th place tied with one other person and no one else showing on the leader board. Not only that, but I am stuck in that place and do not move even if I continue to play. I am a competitive person so this takes all the fun out of the game and makes me almost HATE the game since I spent all that time getting so high in the leaderboard to be shanked! The more I write the more irritated I am getting so this is the end of my review.
Bump Pop: A Disappointing Dive into Ad Overload
Mon Mar 11 2024 CHAVASKEEN0019Bump Pop, oh, where do I begin? If you're looking for a game that epitomizes the term "money hungry," look no further. This app is a prime example of how not to balance gameplay and advertisements.
Picture this: you open up Bump Pop, hoping for a quick dose of entertainment. You're greeted with a game that promises quick rounds of excitement. However, that excitement is short-lived, as you're bombarded with an ad after every measly 15-second round.
Yes, you read that correctly. Fifteen seconds of gameplay, followed by a frustrating 40+ seconds of ads. It's a cycle that leaves you feeling more irritated than entertained. The game itself barely has time to captivate you before it's rudely interrupted by an advertisement that overstays its welcome.
But wait, it gets worse. Bump Pop's gameplay lacks depth and engagement, leaving you wondering why you bothered in the first place. It's a shallow experience that fails to hold your attention, especially when you're constantly being pulled out of the action by intrusive ads.
In conclusion, Bump Pop is a waste of time and a testament to the pitfalls of excessive monetization in mobile gaming. If you value your sanity and want to actually enjoy your gaming experience, steer clear of this ad-ridden mess. There are plenty of other games out there that respect your time and deliver on the promise of entertainment without constantly begging for your money.
Lag & Ads
Tue Nov 22 2022 cristianrodrigues2004The game is fun and it’s a great game to waste your time upon, however, the lag and ad count is ridiculous. I do not know if it’s my device’s doing, but the lag is horrendous. It makes this game seriously unplayable. As for the ads, it makes the game unenjoyable. Most of the times, ads would kill the fun for nearly everything and that’s what this game mostly consists of. I understand if you need to input an ad or so for revenue, however, placing an ad down after every completed level is unnecessary. Besides, people can watch an ad for free rewards and what not, implementing that many ads is seriously unnecessary. Because of those two strong, critical issues, I will give this game a two star mostly because the lag makes this game unplayable. If it’s my doing, then I’ll give this a three star instead. Otherwise, serious improvements. I do like where this game is heading, however, and I encourage you to continue on to this path.
Just another game full of Ads
Tue May 07 2024 OnlymakingthisforthisreviewOk game too many ads and it won’t allow you to upgrade without watching ads. Even if you acquired enough in game currency, you have to watch an Ad. Lose a level Ad, Beat a level Ad, Open the game Ad, just got done watching an Ad here’s another. I get that these games are free, but if you’re going to shove 20 Ads in face, you should take all that money I know you’re making and put it in the app it cost you $2 to make and make it a halfway decent $10 game. Plus forcing me to watch Ads to upgrade really? I currently have 2000 in game currency and I can’t buy a single upgrade without watching Ads. Why even release the game if you won’t let people play? Don’t you think I forgot about your $6 Ad free version you little scam artist you. I bet it doesn’t even get rid of Ads. Keep tricking kids into using their parents credit cards. I hope your husband/wife sleeps with the man/woman closest to you and get pregnant. Have fun raising a baby that’s not yours. Douche.
The adds, and other issues
Sat Nov 05 2022 RBonilla1226The game is fun without a doubt but the amount of adds are ridiculous. Each level is only a few seconds long. The adds take up 2 maybe 3 times as long to get through then after selecting to close the add, up to 3 additional adds pop up, as if to say, “Are you sure you don’t want this? Just take a few more seconds to decide.” Another issue I have is after about 5 minutes of active use my brand new phone starts to get uncomfortably hot and I have to get off the game and let my phone cool down. My final issue is often I will be on a role in a level, then suddenly the game ends in a manner that indicates I have lost the level. Meanwhile, I was about to relaunch to continue advancing in the level. The concept of the game is fun but the adds, and these issues need to be addressed before I decide to reinstall this game.
