## Review summary

Balanced Tower AR offers a fun and smooth augmented reality experience reminiscent of playing Jenga with family, and it can be challenging and stimulating especially in competitive modes. However, users frequently complain about excessive ads, unrealistic physics, camera limitations as the tower grows, unfair AI behavior, and restricted viewing angles which detract from the overall enjoyment.

- Challenging and interesting to play, especially in 1 vs 1 mode which can increase cognitive skills.
- Reminiscent of playing the real game with family, offering enjoyable nostalgia.

### Cons

- Excessive and intrusive ads, especially after every match, which frustrate many users.
- Unrealistic physics and game mechanics that do not mimic the real-world dynamics of the game.
- Camera issues where it doesn't follow the tower as it grows in height, limiting visibility.
- AI behavior flaws such as making moves even when the tower is falling, leading to unfair gameplay.
- Limited visibility of the tower from all sides and inability to see the top beyond a certain height, leading to boredom.
