New Feature Suggestion
06/25/2022

Better with computer
This game is amazing, but it would be more amazing if you could add a feature where you could create a game with multiple levels. Here’s how it would work. When you click on “create”, it brings you to a screen and there are 2 options on the screen: You can make a single game or you can make a game with multiple levels. If you choose multiple levels, it brings you to a screen and you can type in how many levels you want. Then you choose what kind of level you want to create. (Get the goals, maze maker, etc). After you make your level, it brings you back to the create screen and you can create more levels. When you finish your game and play it and win a level, you can press a button to go to the next level. That is what I would like to see in this game. Please add this feature =)!

Amazing concept, poor execution

ux.sounding
Moving, scaling, and rotating game pieces while editing don’t use gestures and instead rely on up/down/left/right arrows for movement and sliders for rotation and scale. Supporting drag, pinch, and rotate gestures would make editing a lot more enjoyable. There are a lot of odd bugs and unrecoverable states when making games, as well. We frequently run into a bug where playing a game we’ve edited runs with the edits but editing shows the original unedited game-if you make a mistake while editing and get to this state, you can’t do anything to fix it and have to start over. Some of the provided games don’t work as expected when made into a game. The paddles in Paddle Battle don’t drag properly and are considered multiple pieces by the engine, so if you do manage to get them to move they break apart into pieces. Also, scoring in the opposite (correct) goal assigns the point to the wrong player. There’s no controller support and there’s only one music track which plays in every game on repeat. Hopefully they can take some of the funds from this and release a polished v2, because the idea is great. It kind of seems like they ended up hiring someone from Fiver to make the current app.

Great concept

I think this is such a great way to get the kids off the video games and doing something that is still fun but keeping them more engaged. My child was laughing and having a blast with this. I think that the concept is so cool and I have even caught my daughter playing this on her own throughout the last week and asking me to play with her as well. I found it fun to make games for each other without letting one another see and them uploading them into one another's game and having it be a surprise when we played and rate each others game. I could see our skills with this getting better and better and having fun with this for a long time! I have already shown friends and family and shared the information with them as well and the thing everyone seems to love the most is the whole gaming concept and creating your own game, its a big hit and I hope they check it out like we did!

Bad now.

Hey! It’s me totally venus! I just put 5 stars so more people can see it. But it is sooo bad now. Like idk if it’s a bug or something but like it keeps crashing and stuff and I updated my iPad so it wouldn’t be doing that and I have PLENTY OF Space on my iPad! So like idk, but like if you never ever ever update your iPad or iPhone, then this game is definitely NOTTTT FORR YOU. In my other review I was talking about how it is sooo good! It was, but now it is terrible! And it won’t let me delete the game! Like I am so disappointed in this game. When I first started, it was PERFECT! I loved it. Now it’s a waste of storage on my iPad. I hate it. If I could I would put 1/2 stars but I have to put 5 so more people can see it so they can be aware before they download! And when I did play the game when I first got it, there was some glitches! So... I should just throw away the box that I got for my birthday because there is no use for it no more!
