Ballz (mobile game)

Gameplay

In the start of the game, a player is introduced with a single ball at the bottom of the screen and square blocks with associated numbers near the top of the screen. Then the player can use their finger to pull back and release the ball(s) at a desired angle to hit the squares progressively lowering the number until they are gone. Additionally, there are small white circles spread throughout the screen that can be hit increasing the amount of balls available to the user. If the user fails to destroy the squares before they reach the bottom the game is ended.[4][3][5]

The highest score on the game is up to debate due to under reporting. Ketchapp's official Twitter page began a thread in 2017 on this topic, the highest on that particular thread is displayed to be 5,574.[6] However, a sub Reddit named r/BallzTheGame has a highest recorded score of 12,171. This score was said to have been done by a man in his spare time over a one-month period.[7]

Reception

In March 2017, Ballz was the number 1 game in the Apple App Store.[8]

gollark: Trying to map everything onto a one-dimensional political scale is a terrible idea.
gollark: I'm distrustful of any economic system which runs on central planning, which is problematic for many, many reasons.
gollark: But the actual values are pretty subjective.
gollark: I mean, it *sort of* does? You can say something like "X system is good at satisfying Y values", and that is at least... objectively testable?
gollark: Which is pretty subjective, so kind of lacking the "right about everything" part.
