### 3/5 — Inifinite Statue

*2025-06-18, version 2.2.0*

I used to like this, but now l cannot edit, and you can’t even delete stuff.

### 4/5 — Good! But…

*2025-04-22*

I love this game. It’s one of my favorites, but there’s some problems whenever I try to type something even if I just type the delete button, it doesn’t let me type anymore. and I wanna kill those poison dart frogs, and one time I was using the dark sea urchin I put a third one there and zoomed into the second one and then it looked like it was never there. Please fix this, but everything else is good and also there’s other bad things about it when the eyeball gets hurt that’s kind of violent same thing with the dinosaur

### 4/5 — Good but one thing

*2024-09-13, version 2.2.0*

So when I saw the character creator I thought it was like you pixel draw you character like make it a dino or an octopus with spike something like that but when I saw you could on stick with faces and animal human mutations I got sad and the fact it’s 3:99 it should be free

### 4/5 — Good but.. there’s always a but in the review title lol

*2024-07-15*

So I love it but when I try to see the hall of games it says to check my enternet connection but even when it says I got enternet it still doesn’t let me see the hall of games but the game making spot still works but this app is still fun :)

### 4/5 — Great game, but…

*2023-06-24*

I would love more theme options, like maybe a forest theme. Also, there’s a slight problem with the city theme: the collectable skull, which appears with a rat in a bird’s nest on top of it, will appear as the cave skull in-game, which is kinda annoying. I would rate it four and a half stars, if that were an option. Hope you get this!

### 4/5 — Great game but…

*2023-04-28*

I downloaded this game because I was interested in it. I paid with Apple Pay and played the game. The game is great but it wasn’t for me so I un downloaded the game and went to see other games but I realized I never got my money back in Apple Pay. Is this supposed to happen or is this a mistake. I am confused and would really like an answer to know ahead of time if I wanna download a game. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2022-11-08*

It is a very good game but I have one problem with it which is the fact that Tinybop removed some of the Levels in The hall of games. But other than that it is a good game. One more thing they removed the glitch that allows you to shrink wich I liked that glitch and I used it for my best level. I am a nine year old so I apologize if I typed anything wrong.

### 4/5 — I like it but I don’t love it

*2022-03-19, version 2.1.0*

OK I like it but there’s some problems when I’m making games it’s just like the thing freezes

### 4/5 — I love it but here are some ideas from 11yo bohde

*2022-02-18*

I really like the game but I wish there was a search feature so you could search for specific games, if I you add that, I’ll give this 5 stars because that would be a big improvement, I really hope you add this feature.

### 4/5 — 有点不一样

*2022-01-22*

你这游戏是不是八年前就有了？

### 5/5 — 有点问题

*2021-07-13*

因为相信，所以献给五星好评。有个小问题：总是闪退，点进去就退！希望你们及时解决。🤝

### 4/5 — I love it, but about the update...

*2021-01-11*

I LOVE this game. It was amazing, and I had a million projects, but when it it an update, ALL my progress went away, and I was in the middle of one I worked really hard on, so i was very disappointed. I still love the game, and don’t get my wrong. The update is very cool, but I would appreciate it if you could possibly spend some time to make sure this doesn’t happen to other customers.

**Developer response:** Oh no!! We're so sorry to hear that. Your games and creations should have saved over in the new update! Could you please email us with some additional information so that we can figure out what might have happened? You can reach us at support@tinybop.com. Please make sure you did not delete the app, any users, or accidentally create a new user with a blank profile. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-09-28, version 1.1.7*

I love playing this kid game! 😊

### 5/5 — OMG it’s so good

*2020-08-09, version 1.1.7*

This game is so good I love it plus it’s educational and fun and according to me games that are educational and fun are the best games also it’s good that there are some games made by the creators. So five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏿

### 1/5 — Why does every Tinybop app cost money?

*2025-06-08, version 2.2.0*

I rate it a 1 star because i hate the cost of this app. But it’s still fun. This game is amazing please show this review to everyone. Everyone should see this DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! It’s amazing but you all might not like to spend your money.

Edit: Thank you so much for putting me in your “Most Helpful Reviews”! Seriously Thanks! Well not every Tinybop app costs money but most do! Btw why aren’t your apps popular? Anyways i suggest you to add some stuff to the game, AND other games! To Infinite Arcade you should add more stuff in it and maybe do 8 backgrounds and let us share our levels, if you can then make your own levels, next for Everything Machine that game is bad so i suggest you add more things to it, I dont know what though. And make a new game called Creature Garden 2, where you make your own creatures then you actually take care for them but add your own things to it, that would be cool. Pls keep me in your most helpful reviews and I’m really sorry if this review is too long, and pls reply to me, PLZ. Btw I’m 11 years old. I might edit this review again but who knows?

### 1/5 — Infinite frustration

*2022-06-05*

It’s like someone put 0 effort into this. First off, you can’t “create” your own games, you just work with the tools presented to you to design basic levels, so the title lies to you.
Second, you can’t even create levels because the basic mechanics are mildly frustrating at best. When you tap on a surface to place a block, the block almost never gets placed where you want it to go, and erasing+placing is a really annoying experience. The controls for most of the characters are TERRIBLE, but not like you are going to play any fan-made levels anyway, because most of the ones in the so-called “hall of games”, are just filler created by the producers.
The menu system is also awful, if you play a level it automatically goes to the top of the selection so it is really hard to keep track of levels since they are always moving around on the menu. 
But the worst offender IMO is the fact that the text bubbles straight-up DO NOT WORK. there is a absurdly low text limit on all of them, and if the filler text is too long you straight-up cannot use that variation of text bubble. When one of your key items is broken your know you have a problem. 
Terribly sorry if i offended any producers, but this hot-garbage excuse for a mobile level editor has really got me steamed.
Do not reccomend to anyone who likes to have a useable app.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-08-31, version 2.0.0*

None of the games are playable.

### 1/5 — Want a refund

*2020-12-16, version 1.1.7*

I haven’t played the game and I didn’t mean to buy it I just turned on my phone and it was open to the App Store and purchased it when I tried to press the home button

### 1/5 — Connect to internet error.

*2020-11-25, version 1.1.7*

The app is asking us to connect to the internet. Is this app still supported?

### 1/5 — Tinybop noob lol

*2020-05-28, version 1.1.7*

Xd your games are so bad

### 1/5 — what.

*2020-03-20*

I don’t like this game because it’s confusing for me, and I don’t understand the photo character thing. I want a refund. I’m saying I need a character maker, like on a board you can add colored pixels and make your own character. Including with the terrain and enemy’s, and signs that you can edit to say what ever you want. I’m saying you should be able to edit any block and save it. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. But the cousin of the game, Bloxels, I like more than this.

**Developer response:** Hi! I am sorry to hear that you are confused by the Infinite Arcade. Thank you for your suggestions - we will definitely keep them in mind when making future updates. In the meantime, please feel free to send any other suggestions to support@tinybop.com. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2019-09-22, version 1.1.6*

Crashes on iPhone X every time I try to use it.  What a gyp.

### 1/5 — I’d like a refund.

*2019-01-03*

I’ve downloaded the app and quickly found that it’s completely useless on the iPhone X. Any and all games other people have created immediately crash the app, and the stage creator does not work what so ever. Mind you the resolution is about as well calibrated as a fish out of water, having ginormous borders that are utterly useless and take away from any aesthetic value the app would have. A true disappointment.

**Developer response:** Hi! I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems with the app. Infinite Arcade is iPhone X compatible. To stop the crashing, try this first: delete the app and reinstall it. If that doesn’t fix the issue, please email us at support@tinybop.com so that we can help resolve the issue! To get a refund, you need to go through the App Store. It’s not something we can do.  Find more info on getting a refund through the App Store here:

*2017-10-04*

### 5/5 — Missing thing?

*2025-04-11, version 2.2.0*

I looked at the version history and for some reason it says that they added a character called psycho bunny but there is no such thing in game! Hope you add it! <3

### 5/5 — 好玩

*2025-02-03*

虽然好玩，但加些新元素吧

### 5/5 — Make a 3d Remake

*2024-12-05, version 2.2.0*

Make a 3d Remake like Robot Lab

### 5/5 — We need more characters!

*2024-01-18*

I love this app, but we REALLY need more characters! You could make versions of characters like Mario and Pac-Man! Mario could be a man named Martin, and Pac-Man could be a guy named Tack-Man! There are a lot of possibilities for characters that you can make! And also make more level types/templates! 
Thank you!

### 5/5 — 游戏真好玩

*2023-07-13*

太好玩了！

### 5/5 — Awesome game but two things that would be cool

*2023-01-29*

This app is one of my favorite apps I always wanted to make games but I never found one then I found this app has very cool things in it enemies who try to get you and there are different types of ground and lava and water there’s disappearing block ground and lots of other things but there’s two things that would improve this for me I think you should add a key to open a trap door where the jewel things are or the thing to beat the game second you should add invisible block things my sister has this app to and we think it would be really cool and fun that’s all for now and you made a really cool app.

### 5/5 — Stop stressing them out guys!

*2022-09-04, version 2.1.0*

This game is awesome! Fully recommend! Hope you see this tinybop❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — 这个游戏好好玩。

*2022-08-30*

点我的游戏就可以了。我就是写刚刚那几句话的人

### 5/5 — Amazing! But the themes...

*2022-08-03*

It needs more themed enemies, you have the dessert theme complete, along with big city theme, BUT! candyland, cave and space don't have the right enemies, and two themes are missing, grassland and ocean! I will list these suggestions here. Buffalo, we need it, a charging enemy! R.O.B.B; rad omega blaster bot, kinda like laser cat except it shoots in all directions. Meteor, works like spike ball, but moves like a meteor, and explodes on impact, with splash damage, affected by bounce pads and ladders! Gob, fish, make him jump out of water and do nothing on ground, NPCs, bosses, go. Multiplayer games too, please. And i would like the ability to take players and make them enemies to fight.

### 5/5 — About Super Mario makers 1 and 2

*2021-08-05, version 2.0.0*

Really a same game as Nintendo Mario maker games but tinybop inspired Nintendo super Mario maker games. I give 10/5 stars ⭐️ and please add Mario characters. :) you can add planes to the game and super Mario backgrounds but you can add super Mario enemies. 

Thank you
