Upgrades don’t lead to Progress – Nonstop Balls Review

This is a cool game concept. Block breaker games are fun and this is essentially an unending block breaker - sort of. The issue is that upgrading your abilities causes an exact increase in difficulty. What I mean is this: Let’s say your balls do 1 damage to each block. The first blocks have 2 health. When you upgrade your damage to 2, the first blocks have four health. If you upgrade your damage again to 6, the first blocks have 6 health. Similarly, if you upgrade the number of starting balls from 5 to 6, all the blocks get a health upgrade. If you upgrade your speed, the same thing happens - the blocks increase in health. I would like for my games to last longer with upgrades. Instead, they last the same amount of time, roughly, because stronger balls come with stronger blocks. Your ‘score’ increases (because you are doing more damage), but I play this game for entertainment, not score.
