Its not the best

So i got into the game thinking oh, this is gonna be a great SandBox game but there’s literally three elements like there’s nothing else to do and then you have to unlock them with three dollars like I can go to on to my browser. Search up SandBox game and get away high-quality game that runs better and it’s free maybe if you give me the three dollar thing I’ll leave better in review👍

So good❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So good because it’s DIY game and is so satisfying to watch. Especially acid demolishing the brick.
Also loved the patterns you can make.

But is a good game over all.
