### 5/5 — We’re still here devs

*2026-08-12, version 4.11*

8 years ago was the last review, but this game still has so much potential. I’ve been waiting for multiplayer for AGES! I absolutely love this game! Keep it alive!

### 1/5 — Dead game

*2026-08-01, version 4.11*

No more updates, abandoned by devs

### 4/5 — Great game!!

*2026-07-23, version 4.11*

I love this game. It has cute graphics, a no-limits mode, and a way to control the character. I like this game especially because it has a mode where you have unlimited resources and buildings but there is one thing that makes me a little frustrated. When you delete a plot of land, it only deletes the one and you have to delete every other one individually. I would absolutely love it if you could change that but it is still an amazing game and I would highly recommend it. Another thing is that you cannot enter the buildings but that is ok since there is no furniture or things like that. But it would be cool if you could go inside buildings. It is an incredible game and I can see that you put a lot of time and effort into this game and it shows. Good work.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2026-06-24, version 4.11*

I love it so far, i just wish there were drivable cars and actually ride the dragons, but you can ride horses :p great job developers ❤️❤️❤️
Pleaaase update! :p

### 1/5 — Buns

*2026-06-19, version 4.11*

Boring

### 3/5 — Really Good,But Hasn’t  Updated For A Long Time.

*2026-06-18, version 4.11*

I Understand That You Are Trying Your Hardest To Keep Updating Pocket Build.But It Has Been A Year Since I Have Seen Any New Stuff
PS,Where Did The Apple Arcade Version Go?

### 4/5 — Awesome game!

*2026-06-11, version 4.11*

I love it so far, i just wish there were drivable cars and actually ride the dragons, but you can ride horses :p great job developers ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Great game just 1 thing

*2026-06-09, version 4.11*

I like sleeping so I want sleeping to the game, the people will automatically sleep at night. Ok?

### 3/5 — Won’t send email verification

*2026-05-31, version 4.11*

Email inputted correct. Won’t send verification in the mail.

### 4/5 — Height changes?

*2026-05-31, version 4.11*

This was exactly what I wanted to world build, and I love the creative freedom in everything, including the land itself, and all the items in free build. The one thing I don’t like, is i can’t layer things, or overlap rocks, so some look floating because there is no height slider, and everything automatically clips above, instead of filling in the gaps. I would love for things to be more layer-able, and have some kind of height slider.
