### 1/5 — Ick!

### 5/5 — My Childhood!

*2026-06-14*

When I was 7 or 8, I started to watch the Alphablocks show and I really liked it and I was happy that they did a Alphablocks meets Numberblocks and I played this game. I am now 12 and am redownloading this game, really used to brighten my day.

### 1/5 — Really bad game

*2026-02-08, version 1.8.0*

Eight of these really bad please add more letters to the alphabet like fruit

### 5/5 — Hello CBeebies! I like your shows.

*2025-10-04, version 1.8.0*

### 5/5 — To tap to try

*2025-09-04*

### 1/5 — They should make the show back on Netflix

*2025-07-30, version 1.8.0*

They are copying Numberblocks but that’s fine |:(

### 1/5 — fix something (I Pasted From LBW)

*2025-06-25*

Most Alphablocks have extra visible features.
S doesn't actually sag when she deflates.
She also doesn't start soaring right away, until she says "soars".
At one point, N's mouth overlaps his nose.
For most of the game, not lots of Alphablocks have their eyes squinting.
W doesn't actually cry. He's actually making the noise before he starts crying.
When X x-rays, his X-ray makes makes everything red instead of what a normal x-ray would be like. This is probably because the technology to program actual x-ray vision was hard.
X's X is noticeably shorter.
Y's nose is reversed.
O's magnifying glass doesn't actually magnify.
E's loudhailer doesn't actually make echoes.
C's cracks are black instead of being actual cracks.
When I's eyes are closed, her eyebrows are nowhere to be seen.
When M eats the apple, it just vanishes.
When U merges with Q, he gets her eyes.
Oddly, U is not unhappy about merging with Q.
Also, U is shown smiling while he's talking, after he trips over.
