### 1/5 — 2FA Auth Required?

*2025-11-30*

Why do I need 2FA auth just to sign in for an app that just for experiencing? Ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Error with Wi-Fi

*2025-09-03, version 2.0.1*

I have Wi-Fi and it says I’m offline. I tryed restarting, closing windows, and turning off.

### 1/5 — Why should one only sign in via Apple

*2025-06-20*

Allow other modes of signing up too, say custom email. 

Even purchasing premium isn’t possible without an account. Suit yourself. You’ve just lost a customer. A pity, I was looking forward to the offer.

### 1/5 — USERS BEWARE — DISHONEST VENDOR

*2025-06-19*

You can sign up and get your limited time benefit only if you are Apple 2FA subscriber. False start, Simon Zvara!

### 5/5 — I absolutely love this game.

*2026-05-17*

I’ve searched the whole AppStore for a specific game. I wanted a free sandbox game. A sandbox game that lets you build around freely. A sandbox game that lets you mess around, build mechanics and make game. then I finally found it… wait sorry I was writing a poem. But all I gotta say is that this is a one of a kind app that I love.

### 5/5 — Update Request

*2026-05-15, version 2.2.4*

Add Object Collision Sound Effects. I wonder what the cannons sound like… I think we all know. ✅

### 5/5 — RobotMania is the best!

*2026-05-12, version 2.2.4*

AWESOME!!!

### 5/5 — I recommend you play this

*2026-05-02*

It’s really fun and if you like building things like in Minecraft you should download this game.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-04-23*

Really great game! But i have been waiting for sound triggers for soooooooooo long please add this and add it to the plus version too. And instead of preset sounds make it so that you can opload sound FILES. But either way this is a good game 🫪🫪🫪🫪🫪
