### 4/5 — Play arenas game

*2025-07-06, version 1.1.6*

I like play game on arena but why there sign?

### 2/5 — Questionably Toxic Community

*2025-03-30, version 1.1.6*

When you download an app like this you will probably expect a nice welcoming and some nice people but no,You immediately enter the chat section and see people cussing and I put some of my time into this game and I soon quit because of how offensive and awful the community was.Late December I checked and saw the community has once again gotten mean and offensive.Devs don’t care for a main feature that being online mode and the consequences are brutal for the players still playing.The maker mode is surprisingly good.It has tons of things to unleash your creativity with as well as having rules to make your game more fun,The rules are the best feature of all (Besides most complicated rules being broken) Overall good game great execution of gameplay but online really ruins it.

### 4/5 — I’m So Lonely in this game

*2024-11-13, version 1.1.6*

It’s good but if it’s better if there were thousands of people playing the game.

### 5/5 — Sad

*2024-08-12*

There is this player name called wolf and she stole my name and she has been giving me a hard time she even called me a brat I think this game has to be fixed because I don’t like it to be with rude people that call people brats pls fix it pls 😭😭😭😭

### 4/5 — Good but hard for beginners like me

*2024-07-16, version 1.1.6*

So I thought this game was gonna introduce me to making games, but it was complicated. It’s good but I had a hard time figuring out everything and I still am confused. If you could add directions or a tutorial that would be great and I would gladly give this a 5 stars. Have a nice day!

### 2/5 — Very good

*2024-04-29, version 1.1.6*

Perfecto I love it perfect for multiplayer and i can finally create a game without coding solid 5 stars someone said it was spyware but i dont belive that

### 2/5 — Bad game maker app

*2024-04-11, version 1.1.6*

So I don’t really like this app as you can’t create any big fish eat small fish game, they are games where the fishy character eats smaller fish and and avoids bigger fish. So let people create those games please.

### 5/5 — Good but some problems…

*2024-04-04, version 1.1.6*

Please update arenas. Mintynetworks we know you can see this. Idk if you got sued but please come back and update the game. We need a new update. Please. The community needs it.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2024-02-26, version 1.1.6*

I can make games that are fun I can play other peoples games This app is the best

### 3/5 — Good game, but needs updates!

*2023-11-19*

I love this game and I’ve been playing it for a very long time. But it has a lack of updates, I wish we had more blocks and objects. also, if you do make a update, could you please add a delete button? I have a lot of games that are pretty useless.

### 4/5 — READ NOW!!!

*2023-10-21, version 1.1.6*

Ok so first off I love this! But I’ve got problems… 1 game keeps crashing 2 multiplayer doesn’t work 3 I can’t delete my games 4 people keep bulling and swearing 5 there should be a most plays this year 6 there is a trend where people are making clubs we need that added 7 people keep coping other peoples username 8 making a username is not obvious to new players My username is Ki kitten I hope this gets fixed/updated

### 4/5 — 😡game

*2023-10-21, version 1.1.6*

So I love the but when I publish my game it says choose thumbnail but what the heck is a thumbnail I’m so confused but still I want to publish my game. The game should have said what a thumbnail is in the tutorial and it makes no sense but overall the game is great

### 3/5 — Game needs a new update

*2023-09-25*

I really like Arenas, but it’s started getting boring ever since the last update. I think you should update this app every once in a while or it just gets boring.

### 5/5 — This is a fun game but I'm a bit confused

*2023-09-18, version 1.1.6*

I love that in this game you can make so many things but the problem is how do I move? I picked how I want the character I'm using to move but when I tested and played the game I wouldn't move,

### 5/5 — Needs an update!!!

*2023-08-26*

I love this game but it needs an update soon this is gonna be 1 star cuz no update in a while

### 3/5 — I’m disappointed

*2023-08-04, version 1.1.6*

So while the app is really fun and you also get to talk to a lot of people which is really cool, it just needs more like you guys should add more humanoids and more more blocks and tiles and you should give us building so we can make 3-D games. Also we should add custom backgrounds like pictures and stuff

### 1/5 — Game is dead

### 1/5 — Worst game ever!

*2021-11-02, version 1.1.4*

I always wanted to make a game. But I got scammed for downloading this game because it’s just that awful. Hard to move you cannot make your character you cannot make anything from you. Just a lot of junk to say Alice, this game is the best thing you will ever see! Definitely not true. Improve this work. You can do better than this!

### 1/5 — It doesn’t tell you how to play pls tell me!

### 5/5 — Five star (But I need help)

*2026-04-11, version 1.1.6*

I love the game and it’s the second best make/play game I’ve ever played, but I need help. I put an arena code of an arena I didn’t submit and deleted, but it’s still there and still exists. I tried to replace it but the file still existed. If you could please delete this arena, I would love that. The arena code is TC9-BoB. Thanks for the support.

### 5/5 — Nice Game

*2026-04-05, version 1.1.6*

I also scrolled through reviews and saw a review from Ki Kitten which I thought was so funny cause they were a fairly popular player back in my day lol and I haven’t visited the game in awhile because after I switched from my iPad to my phone, I never bothered to download it again. It’s a really fun game and unless they added more pay to win features o remember it being a solid game! If anybody knows me, my username was like Game Creator Co. or something and I made all those Bump It! Games and a few Pokémon ones too. I think the original Bump It! I made even had three reboots I made. Overall, it was a great game! Download ittttt

### 5/5 — A Veteran’s Feedback

*2025-10-16, version 1.1.6*

Arenas is a unique and accessible way for children to learn the basics of coding. Arenas shines best in the editor and in the design; they are intuitive and impressively well-done. Much care is put in to the most frequently used features, so much so that most people don’t reflect on the amount of polish that went into them. Truly fabulous work.

Further said, there are a few mishaps and oversights here & there, but some add to the charm of the game. I and the community have a few major gripes that should be addressed, however.

> Negative conditionals are increasingly more wanted with complicated projects, though I understand the time pressure of releasing the game.

> There is a lack of unique music choices. Adding music blocks that play notes when interacted with (or triggered by rules) would be nice.

> Slingshot glitch is a powerful exploit that can beat most top-down arenas in less than 5 seconds. The premise is that forcing the player against the wall and swiping rapidly will phase them through the wall.

> Rules are very buggy, can cause stability and timing issues, and may even crash your game (there are 4 rule combinations that follow this last behaviour in different ways).

> Multiplayer doesn’t work currently.

> Cloning objects has timing issues.

Am I biased? Of course, I’ve been playing this game since 2019. But that doesn’t take away from the validity of these statements.

I eat concrete

### 5/5 — My opinion on this and suggestions (might take a while to read)

*2025-06-24, version 1.1.6*

MINTY PLEASE READ THIS!
I love this game I’ve been playing for about 3 or 4 years now here’s some suggestions.
1 let us delete our games
2 make multiplayer work/easier to use
3 there’s a trend that people are making their own club/group can you add that as an actual feature 
4 maybe make an add or something so people can actually find this because to many people are leaving and there’s only like 20 maximum people still active
5 maybe a tutorial because new players don’t even change their username if 1 anonymous is nice to me it’s hard to tell which anonymous to be nice to back because I can’t tell who is who
6 maybe add ranks like it’s based on how many games made and how long they been active for
7 this is one I really want to be able to have multiple accounts per device 
8 update this that’s all I really want you don’t have to use my ideas I just want something done

My username is ★😸Ki Kitten😸★ I really hope these get added
