### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2017-07-06*

Thanks for updating this great game to 64 bit! I'd hate to lose it.

### 5/5 — Great way to get my Concrete Jungle fix when I'm away from my PC!

*2016-06-05*

While MegaCity looks dated compared to the dev's new game, the exceptionally-polished Concrete Jungle that carries the city building, column-clearing motif to new heights, the roots are here.

Well worth 99 cents.

### 3/5 — Missing feature

*2015-08-07, version 1.80*

Great concept but not being able to play custom music is annoying given the limited soundtrack.

### 5/5 — Стоит взять

*2015-07-19, version 1.80*

Хорошая игра,и подумать можно,и время убить.Своих денег стоит.

### 5/5 — Wonderful puzzle

*2015-05-18, version 1.80*

A great, addictive game with a very cool theme. I keep coming back to this game again every few months!

### 1/5 — Boring

*2014-12-28, version 1.80*

This game is not worth the money.  It's boring.  The gameplay is the same from start to end, and it's not that interesting to begin with.

### 1/5 — Can't play my own Music in background

*2014-10-06, version 1.80*

No fun playing a game like this without my own music.

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2013-11-29*

I like the concept of the game. VERY polished.

The challenge modes are kind of like puzzles, but you don't get to see all your pieces at the start. It relies on multiple tries and memorizing the level to do well, which is unfortunate. Letting me scroll through the upcoming pieces list would be helpful.

Still a five star app though!

### 5/5 — Great puzzle game!

*2013-09-16*

I don't often review but they deserve it. I hope this game does well! Only thing I don't care for is the music. It'd be nice to have a selection or access to the iPod function.

### 5/5 — I've been playing all week!

*2013-06-24, version 1.80*

This is one of the best puzzle games ever on the App Store. It has a fun progression path and doesn't overwhelm you with IAP
