Build Up!‪!‬ 12+

Lots of fun and very addictive. Taking away a fifth star because sometimes the “bank” of rivets malfunctions, and the rivets appear to fall out the bottom, making it impossible to see how many you have left. Also, the “explosion” of movement that happens when you place a rivet is annoying and sometimes causes the whole tower to collapse.

It would also be great to have an “undo” button for those of us with fat fingers who misplace a rivet by a few millimeters and end up with a hanging beam instead of a solid triangle.

But ultimately, these are small problems for an otherwise-solid game!

Every time I exit out of the app and come back to it, the level changes. So whenever I get a level I like and I have to leave and come back to it, it is the same level number but a completely different level. It would be a lot better if they made the levels stay the same. My second complaint is that it is impossibly easy, if you just tap above you many times you are going to win with no thought. They should make it so you have to think through and build up strategically. My last complaint is that there is a glitch that happens a lot where I can’t see how many more nodes I have. Other than these complaints it is a fun game to play while you are waiting on somebody that requires little thought.

The perfect triangles really messed up the game for me. You have less freedom to build as you like. I used to make anchors to hook in to the rocks to keep it from tipping. The towers were fun and chaotic. The perfect triangles takes away the fun and creativity for me. You would think that this update would make the towers harder to tip but now for some reason when you tap to add a node, it gets added so violently that the tower an tip just from that even if it’s well balanced. Really disappointed that the creators would ruin their own game like that. I would have asked for an endless free-build mode where I stop reaching a goal and check points, just seeing how long you can build before it tips. But now I’m not interested in it at all and really miss the old mechanics.
