Good game, great user generated content!

Love this game, worth paying for! My only wish is that I could save particularly good user generated maps to play again after they leave the rotation, or to modify myself.
Great game!

realllly amazing game

Worth every cent

Finally a game that is challenging enough to play and enjoy without forcing people to have to buy stuff to complete levels.

Been playing this since the first island and have bought all the other islands including the map editor.

Not sure how I feel about buying coins or what their purpose is in the game… A way for people to shortcut the levels I suppose.
