On some levels, the final destination was off-screen and I had to guess where it was. Shame. I was enjoying it. ### 2/5 — Constraints *2020-09-19, version 1.64* I want to say that the app was fun and a good puzzle game but I can’t. I believe the app is not optimized for iPhone X and up. The buttons are cut off and not shown on the screen so I was not able to play. Fixing the constraint issue would be awesome so the app is usable! ### 3/5 — Irony *2020-08-30, version 1.64* It’s a coding game. But ultimately it’s shortcomings in code itself prevents people from upgrading and spending money. I feel like I should write a Haiku about this. But Cobra Kai just dropped on Netflix and the world is burning. Oh well. ### 3/5 — Has promise. *2020-08-28, version 1.64* Game has a bunch of promise for getting the little ones to think first. Bad part is the “upgrade” function seems disabled. I looked more into the developer and found a “pro” version of this game. Doesn’t look like there are many updates past 2 years ago, so any iPhone after that is out of luck with having a compatible version of the game. It needs a zoom function and that might clear some issues. ### 2/5 — Want to like it but... *2020-07-14, version 1.64* It doesn’t display properly on my iPhone screen, half the display is missing sadly. ### 4/5 — Good game, Can't upgrade *2020-06-29, version 1.64* I wanted to try the full version but it seems to time out/nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Basically Unplayable *2020-06-28, version 1.64* Impossible to play because the app is to large for the iPhone XS screen. ### 3/5 — IPhone XR *2019-12-16, version 1.64* Love this game, just a shame it doesn't show full screen on iPhone xr. Please do something about it ### 1/5 — Poorly implemented *2019-12-15, version 1.64* Not sure about later levels because I uninstalled at that point, but level 16 gives inconsistent results when running the same actions. Using “left”, “forward”, “forward” as the first three actions would sometimes result in turning, stepping, platform moving, then stepping again. But more often than not it would result in turning, stepping, and stepping again before the platform could move. Don’t try writing a programming game if you can’t program it properly yourself!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t display properly *2019-10-31, version 1.64* Desperately needs updated. Doesn’t work on iPhone X, XR or XS due to resolution issues ### 2/5 — Fix it 💔 *2019-10-26, version 1.64* It is so hard please fix it please thank you 🙏🤯 ### 3/5 — It's okay. *2019-10-04, version 1.64* "Upgrading" times out. Though I'm not sure how worth it the upgrade would be. Since I don't know the price, I can't compare. I spent maybe 5-10 minutes on the 25 free levels and could see myself zipping through the next 35. I might pay 0.99 for the additional levels if they significantly increased playtime. I'm uninstalling, as there's no replay-ability. It's not fun the second time around. ### 1/5 — Needs a fix if you own an IPhone XR *2019-09-15, version 1.64* I can’t speak much for other platforms, I own an IPhone XR. The game needs to be updated. Can’t see the last 15%-20% of the outside margins. This game was recommended by a colleague, am quite disappointed with it, but I see many great reviews left by other users who were able to use the app properly. I can only say that we might be able to enjoy it if we ever are given the opportunity. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Level sixteen *2025-05-11, version 1.64* The sliders don’t move but it is a good game ### 1/5 — Do not play this game you can’t go and upgrade on level 26 and I don’t know why *2023-12-02, version 1.64* YOU CANT UPGRADE to:the person who made this game: why can’t I upgrade it just gos back to the upgrade menu ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-11-14, version 1.64* Did this at school and wanted to try at home but it doesn’t show correctly on iPhone XR ### 1/5 — Poorly implemented *2022-10-29, version 1.64* On level 16 when I do left forward forward it turns left, moves forward, moves the platform, and moves forward but sometimes it turns left, moves forward twice before the platform moves. ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2022-03-26, version 1.64* It can't adjust to the screens of my new iphone 11 pls update so that new iphone screens can fit because it. Won't let me code the forward command because of the size ### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPhone 11 *2020-12-20, version 1.64* The GUI defaults to a size larger than the phone screen and there is no zoom functionality or way to adjust the graphics. This makes the game unplayable as most of the controls and menu weren’t even on the screen. :( ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-10-23, version 1.64* I can’t get the robot to go straight because the screen is zoomed in too much that most of the buttons are not visible. ### 1/5 — Can’t see on iPhone 11 *2020-10-21, version 1.64* Game is permanently zoomed in and you can’t access buttons on the left or right. ### 1/5 — I would’ve liked to have been able to play *2020-08-07, version 1.64* When I opened the app for the first time the display size was somehow larger than my phone so I couldn’t actually click any of the buttons used in the first level. ### 1/5 — Best game ever that... *2020-08-07, version 1.64* ...takes longer to decide whether to download, then download, than it does to play. For some reason, I could not win level 25 on the first attempt. The game works. There is nothing wrong with it. It is rather nice. Except that, well, there is no point, once you play it. Perhaps next time I might try it blindfolded? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Armani *2024-09-19, version 1.64* This a challenging game but really fun reccomend ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2024-05-04, version 1.64* Simple coding game I used to play in primary school.
