Pocket Build 9+

Brilliant

Hey,
I love your game and its simple mechanics that make you wander why nobody has done them before. You took something done so many times and somehow made it unique by not focusing it too much on a battle or level based element. Despite this, I understand that a review with no criticism is pointless so my few thoughts are these. I think that you should be able to change the name of you world. When I got the game I spent all my time making the default “Pocket world” a great world and now my city is stuck being called “Pocket world”. I could be being ignorant though so tell me if there is a way that you can change your world name after creation. Also, the placement of value is odd, elaborate houses are free but grass is 15 wood. This is not really a problem though, just a query, and perhaps there is a good reason to it. One more thing, I think, even though your system for placing items are great, maybe you could make it so you could drag out a fence post, for example, to construct a fence as long as you want, or drag out a piece of land, in order to eliminate the rare issues that items like these have. Also, maybe a quick toolbar of commonly used items could be better. But these are all silly, and I think you game is probably my favourite game I have ever played on an iPad, great developing.

Hi :) I'm glad you like the game. I will look into the issues you have mentioned. Also you can create a new Pocket Town with a different name by creating a new world using the Populated template option.

Amazing game !! But ....

This in its self is an absolute stunning games the idea and the graphic style is fantastic but I feel there’s a couple of things that would add a whole new drastic feel to the game and even could potentially make it the best game on this App Store and that is conflict between the different Races in the game and interaction for example between the orc warriors and the human warriors and would be soo fun to be able to build a orc castle and a human castle then have the orca try to seige it !!! And humans defend this would add a whole new feel to the game !! The weapons are even already implemented under vehicle already and this would slow you to have all out wars would be amazing !! Also think that the buildings should all use wood and materials to build as well as implementing stone as another material to build castle walls and that sort of stuff with then the people in the game having to mine . But even at the stage the game is at now it’s outstanding if your looking for a game we’re you can build your own worlds but that’s all it is at this time there’s no missions or things like having to deal with plagues or having the food go down with the amount of people you have this would make it extremely more playable as I’ve only just bourght the game a day ago and I’ve already started to get alittle board of it as there’s no clear aim or plan would love to hear from the developers thank you !

Those ideas are brilliant, Tommie653! We are currently adding more fun features to the game and may take these ideas onboard. Thank you for playing Pocket Build! :)

Amazing

Before I start this review off, may I say that this game has been perfectly crafted and you can see all of the effort the devs have put in to it. I haven’t many complaints, as the game has been carefully looked after by the game developers.
Nothing is perfect however, I feel that the camera angles need more work put in to it. It’s quite frustrating when you’re attempting to add to your village and accidentally change the camera angle. This causes me to frantically move my fingers in an attempt to manipulate the camera in reverting back to what it was.
One ability that I would admire to see the devs implement, is the power to scale down or scale up certain items in the game. This would be useful as it would help to be more precise when working with the game and could smoothen our certain aspects.
My final criticism is the roads, the 90 degree turn especially. This is because it doesn’t perfectly line up with the tiles and causes imperfections in the road building - this is upsetting due to the fact that it causes the roads to not line up.
Over all this is a great game worth the money that you pay for it.
