### 5/5 — Please make for ios11 Bc I deleted the game on accident

*2017-10-31*

I really want the game

### 4/5 — Fun but needs more options.

*2017-01-21*

Being able to rotate camera would be awesome. That way I'm not looking at the dark side of the tower, since I'm facing east in my bed. Push is pretty intense and it makes the camera go up for some reason. Anyhow, my cat was pretty fascinated.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2014-09-27*

It's a fun little tech demo. Can you rewrite this using apples metal? Should see a huge improvement in number of bricks.

### 1/5 — Possibly Lies

*2014-07-31*

I haven't seen the options menu as it shows in the pictures in their description... Plus, my camera just kept moving up... Gamedokan is usually a terrible publisher. Please, before it's to late, DO NOT BUY THIS. - The Derp Reviews

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-11-13, version 2.2*

But I used to be able to disable the tilt sensor or gyroscope so I can change the camera using two fingers ... Is there any chance this feature could be re-introduced in an update please thanks =) !

### 5/5 — Lag

*2013-07-07*

It is laggy as tards but it be good up in ere

### 4/5 — More stuff

*2012-07-20*

Fun but after a little while it gets kinda boring. You should add buildings that you choose to destroy.

### 2/5 — Please fix

*2012-03-23*

Whenever I put a lot of blocks, it lags. And if the gravity is above 15 the blocks will fall over without me even touching them, please fix, the I will give five stars.

### 3/5 — Annoying

*2012-01-11*

I cannot figure out how to keep the tower from falling over by itself!

### 3/5 — Good, but needs a tweak for realtime

*2011-11-11*

I'm kinda pissed that I had already bought this once a couple years ago.  It was called PhysBlox 4.  That one doesn't have Retina or good options, so I had to buy this "universal" one.  I took two stars off for that!

On to the tweak.  You'll notice this may not update fast, but if you disable shadows, it's fairly realtime and pretty cool.  If I wrote this app I would've left shadows off by default, coz they're kinda crappy anyway.  This app also needs a gesture option to rotate around the structure.
