### 1/5 — just don’t buy

*2021-01-20, version 3.0*

it has HOORRIBLE GRAPHICS
THE ISLANDS LOOK LIKE MOUNTAINS STICKING OUT OF THE OCEAN LIKE ITS A FLOOD
there is a 0.000000000000000000000000000001 % chance that someone is good enough to make the thumbnail of this game
And it’s really hard to do anything
The moving is crappy 
And I only played for 10 seconds before writing this

I should have read the other stuff and the reviews before getting this

At least I didn’t get the the “better version” 

don’t buy

                              This is a line

Why are you still here

### 5/5 — I love it

*2020-07-20, version 3.0*

This game is the best

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2020-03-15, version 3.0*

I love the graphics, there even better than real life. I feel like I’m actually in the game! I also love how the water reminds me so much of concrete. I also love how spiky these mountains, Reminds me of the spike that impaled my dead grandpa! 10/10 best game ever!

### 1/5 — ...

*2019-08-21, version 3.0*

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE 5 STAR COMMENTS
(Minecraft is better)

Anyway, this game is horrible in many, many different ways. Crap graphics, Minecraft ripoff, etc, etc. This is just a money grab for the devs and more. And for people trying to get this, look at the ratings!!! This game is literally 2 stars only, and there are many games that have building stuff in it, like Blocksworld, Roblox etc, etc. I downloaded this a very long time ago, and it would be good for a TODDLER than other people.

### 1/5 — Cool concept buuut...

*2019-02-17, version 3.0*

It’s VERY poorly made bad graphics, bad textures, bad controls, bad game.

### 1/5 — Is it good ?    Answer no big time

*2019-01-06, version 3.0*

What did I think of it answer bad big time so these so I made a list these are in their meanings this ☑️ means good or yes And this 👎 means bad or no

First one is it easy to use answer 👎 no
Is it laggy answer 👍 yes

Is there a lot of pop-ups. Also so called offers answer 👍 yes
 
Can you see in the dark answer 👎 no

By the way I would’ve put no stars but I had no choice

### 2/5 — Meh

*2018-01-17, version 3.0*

I personally did not like it, but I am going to assume the creators put at the very least SOME effort into it so I won’t trash it too badly. I saw this game and thought I would give it a try. I read the reviews and thought “it can’t be THAT bad, right?” Well, it depends what you are into. If you have ever played Minecraft and thought “You know what would make this game even better? No monsters or mods or any sign of life, just blocks!” This game is for you..

### 2/5 — Hi

*2017-12-04, version 3.0*

Use to play this because my iOS was to low to play minecraft just get Eden world builder

### 1/5 — PFFFFFFTTTTTT

*2017-01-19, version 2.1*

Oh and by the way, before I start this "review", I'd like to say:

DON'T LISTEN TO THE FIVE STAR REVIEWS.

They just want you to buy the app and give them money. Don't waste your time, money, and get something else with it. Go buy a lava lamp or something. Just not this piece of crap.
(wow, that's the first time I've said crap in a review about a game...)

I personally think it's funny how it literally sounds like they paid people to rate the game 5 stars or 4 stars. One five star review says "I hate Minecraft. The idea of placing ugly block shapes is stupid." WELL WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU SHOULDN'T BE PLAYIN' THIS, CUZ THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YA DO. Also, lots of scammy reviews talk about how they hate Minecraft even though this is the worst Minecraft clone of you gave this game to any sane person that wasn't paid to write a five star review. At least if you're going to make a fake review, at least put SOME effort into it.!

This game-
Ya know what, it's not even a game. It's a stupid horrifying cash grab that makes you think what the apple App Store has come to. If you had to take away one app from the store, I would say this app.

Unless there's an even worse clone out there...

### 2/5 — It was just alright...

*2016-12-24, version 2.1*

I was looking for something in which I could actually create the land, but it has the land already set up. On the iPhone, the manuverability of your view point is odd. For example, when you pinch your fingers on the screen, it zooms in, not out (it's hard to explain, but it's backwards anyhow). Also, its difficult to see where the block is being put, and a bit difficult to explore the land you're given. Anyhoo, It was ok, but it wasn't any more than that.
