holedown App Reviews

Pretty fun little arkanoid clone. There definitely should have been more levels, the game is way too short (gas planet, comet, dwarf star, plenty of potential level names). Also needs a restart level option. Yes I saw the dev response with the gimmicky workaround. If you know people want it and it’s an easy fix, just add it in properly already.

This 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

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

I love this game and play it addictively. I would even love the little tic-tac shaped mascot in the corner except for his comments when you tap him. Why do his comments make him out to be such a tankie? Maybe his comments need a re-do.

once you reach the endless mode it is not balanced at all, definitely needs a rework.

Great 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!

I’m trying to chase down a friend on the scoreboard, but I’m stuck doing the mission. I started instead of restarting a different one. Why is there no way to abandon a game?

Simplistic, 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.

I 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.

Might we have more levels please. A lot more!

My absolute favorite mobile game.

Overall: enjoyable. // request: could the coins be used for temporary boosts in the endless mode?

Physics and GamePlay is a darn blast! However with only a few levels to play and then an ‘infinity’ level this should really be a 99 cent game. Also the boss is just the same easy ball in every level. Ugh.

My save was just totally wiped - no I definitely did not enable save reset

Was really enjoying the game and put about two hours into it earning upgrades and new planets. Then I went to play a day later and my progress was reset. It’s a shame because the game is fun and it’s really well designed and beautiful.

The game ends too soon with the “infinite” level, and while I do still play it the game just lost a lot of appeal. I really hope they update the game in some way for more playability, otherwise it’s pretty disappointing.

I wish the white finger thingy on the bottom right had the option for kitty ears and says things like “Meew Mreew meow” when you tap it c^. ,.^n

Y'all spend $12 for a single ticket to crappy 90 minute film but complain when a $4 game only lasts 4 or 5 hours. This game is challenging and crazy fun and it lasts much longer than a $4 burger so I consider that a deal.

I 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.

I love this game to pieces, and i am disappointed by how short it is. Please make an update with more levels, modes, etc. and you’ll have an amazing game.

Genuinely 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!

Fun gameplay. There should be a way to bypass or speed up the crystal counting screen at the end of a game, though, and also a way to end a game that’s obviously going nowhere faster than just waiting to use all your turns.

A tiny bit more content in the way of upgrades/levels would make this game perfect! It’s truly the perfect mobile game, really hoping for a follow up!

Love the game but you’ve left me wanting more. More levels please. I’d gladly pay for an in-app purchase of a few more levels beyond the black hole endless run.

Loved playing this game and don't regret spending the money but it's already over. I can't believe there's only six levels! Please make 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.

Awesome addictive game. Infinity level is not satisfying though. Please add more planets!!!

I 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

Beautiful design! Perfect balance of fun and challenging. So much attention to detail. PLEASE make more levels!! One of my all time faves.

Really 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.

In this age if iCloud syncing it would be nice to play the same levels on my phone and iPad. It has been over a year since any updates so if this is not abandonware, please sync progress via iCloud to all my devices.

I’m hopelessly addicted. But I don’t know where to see a list of best depths on black hole. I’m currently at 1320 m. Is there a way to compete against other players?

I’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.

The game is great, but wish they would add more levels.

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)

This game is not bad, but is short and definitely not worth 3.99. It reminds me why I should stick to free games.

Its a solid game but there is barely any content for having to pay 4 dollars for this game

It seems like once you stop playing for a bit, it erases all your progress, returning to first leve with no upgrades. Got bored of restarting whole thing.

I had a good time playing this game, and unlocked every upgrade and the “Black Hole” level. Unfortunately, one day I launched the app and all of my progress was lost. The game started like I had never played it before. Pretty big bummer.

I got the game yesterday and played it for at least an hour then came back to it today and my progress was gone. Not motivated to start it over but it was fun while it lasted I guess.

Fun game, but for 6 levels, this should be free. These games are plentiful and most free games of this ilk are nearly endless, certainly longer than 6 levels.
