SP Review: Catch the Bowling Balls "Challenge Mode" (PS4|5)

Breakthrough Gaming creates a new level...
...a whole new level of mediocrity.


Just when I thought "Trash Gaming" can't fall any lower, even on Breakthrough Gaming standards, there is a way to do that. This time, Breakthrough Gaming broke into new depths of imbecility. The "Challenge Mode Edition" re-releases were already a dumb idea, but Catch the Bowling Balls "Challenge Mode Edition" makes honor to the "Breakthrough" part of their name. Almost like a sick joke.

Time for the "Walter The Clown" joke.
"What does Breakthrough Gaming and a bad student have in common?"
"They always fail in their purposes."


For those who want to know the mechanics of this game, check the review for Catch the Bowling Balls.
As for the Challenge Mode Edition, the main difference between the original game and its Challenge Mode version is the starting speed of the game, when in Catch the Bowling Balls, the game increased its speed gradually, the Challenge Mode Edition goes fast right off the bat, making things a bit difficult and more prone to failure, and you'll fail sooner since the balls fall faster and there's no tries if you miss one. Graphics and sound are the same as before: The same vomitive, pathetic and laughable attempt to old-school arcade.

All the trophies on 30 seconds.
It breaks the record of Trophy Progression.


Breakthrough Gaming deserves a place in the Guiness Book of Records since it holds the record for the fastest trophy unlocking time ever. Since the game requires 1100 points to get everything, you'll get all the trophies in around 30 seconds. THIRTY [EXPLETIVE] SECONDS! You might be cracking some laughs at how stupidly easy was to get all the trophies just like in the original game, but this time is far more pathetic since this time takes you less than a minute.

The Lea Scale didn't knew to whether to laugh or cry.
This game is beyond pathetic.


Catch the Bowling Balls "Challenge Mode Edition" is the ultimate definition of how infantile, lazy and imbecile trash gaming could be showing how far and low developers can go on doing anything for a buck.
Unless you want to laugh for minutes and get 12 "Almost-Instant" Trophies, then pick it.


TO BREAKTHROUGH GAMING: Are you planning to re-release all the arcade titles under the "Challenge Mode Edition" banner?
Then do it, but please, do us a favor and release it on a bundle. Yeah, throw all the trash in one shot for the sake of putting an end to this.

As for you, I'll give you a well deserved Christmas present and I'll spare you from reading those "Challenge Mode Edition" releases yet to come. Yeah, I'll take a break from writing about Breakthrough Gaming for a while 'cos they'll be way too stupid and repetitive and I hate to repeat myself because of their idiocy.
