Pros and cons of Aqua Baller app for iPhone and iPad

Aqua Baller app good for

This is a nice addicting game and I like the way you can change the backgrownd and menu colors, but I think you should be able to change the # of balls (you put to many balls in there) and to change the theme, not having to buy the same game like 4 times

I enjoyed the Aqua Baller free version, so I bought this version mainly to support the author. Definitely an awesome app, reminds me of these water games I played when younger. The water sounds in this app are great! I made a number of comments in my review of the free one - I hope some of them, at least the easy ones, are implemented in future versions. I agree with the previous reviewer - you should be able to set how many balls you have on the screen. I also wish that setting "themes" would only affect the actual game, not the menus. My opinion is that the menus should be the nice default colors, theres no need for them to be customizeable. On the other hand, the game itself could use more customization of colors (in the themes and the ability to set manually), such as the buttons on the controller and the baskets. I also agree with the previous reviewer that Aqua Baller should be just one app and include different "skins," such as different balls (soccer, football, etc), different types of baskets and different backgrounds. You should then be able to mix and match, picking the ball type, basket type and background that you want to play with. You shouldnt have to buy seperate apps for each one. I would be happy enough to pay a bit more if one app included them all. I dont want 3 or 4 different apps, I want them all accessible in the same app. The pop-ups and tips during free play are annoying. Please remove them or add an option in the menu to disable them. Finally, please add an option in the menu to disable the iPods auto-dim / auto-off. Its possible someone may wish to play, as I did, by simply rotating the iPod and letting gravity put the balls through the hoops. Since I wasnt pressing the buttons, it auto-dimmed.

The retro street ball graphics make it fun and a good time waster. The worldwide high score lists make it addictive. But... It needs local high scores too.

Its cool does everything an original does. I like it fun when bored.

I give it 5 stars not because its the most innovative and entertaining game ever created for the iTouch. Not even close. But it does what it is supposed to and it works just like the old fashioned toys from the past. Its fun to kill time with. The best part is that you can turn the iTouch or iPhone upside down and the balls will fall so you can cheat just like you KNOW you did when you were a kid! But I mean...I dont do that now.

My, that was hidden. And the customization isnt that exciting. The game is fun, though.

Some bad moments

Before having an iPod touch I played this game on my cousins iPod and liked it so I knew to get it.
