Does not work

The game only shows half the screen, and the rest is black. It’s completely unplayable

Completely broken on modern devices now :(

Game is just unplayable upon booting it up on modern devices due to the game not sizing properly. The game also hasn’t been updated in 8 years as of writing this review, sad to see. This was a fun little time killer.

Dead app. Rest In Peace, Sandbox

Well this is really sad. I had just been reminded of this game, the last time I played it was 10 years ago. Can barely believe that. The joy it brought me as a teenager. I guess not enough people were interacting with it and the developers funds just fizzled out, to be honest people didn’t want to pay tons to simply play the game. Sorry to see :(

Pls fix this!!!!

It zooms in a LOT right when you get in so you can’t even start playing anything I’m on the Home Screen and I only see a quarter of the screen and can’t click any thing 😢

Unable to play

I remember playing this game all the time when I was younger, just popped up in my head so i redownloaded it. The app opens but I can only see half the screen, and it is cropped off center aswell. I tried reinstalling and resetting my phone which neither of those worked. Im just bummed since I was looking forward to a nostalgia trip

Broken

I would love to play this game but every time I try to load this game only half the screen is loaded and the other half is completely black

Used to be a lot of fun

This app has been broken on new iPhones for a while now. It’s a shame because I remember having a ton of fun with this game as a kid, but when looking to play it again for nostalgia recently I can’t get it to work properly.

They need to fix the screen

I loved this game and bought everything only for them to brick the screen and release a new game with a majority of the content behind a paywall

Petition to get the servers back up

Great game! I remember when the servers were up and we need them back, pronto!

beautiful imo

I’ve had this game since I was a kid, still love it to the day. I’m 18 now. So fun and creative, unlimited things you can do.

Hmm I really didn’t enjoy this game

So first of all it makes you but everything in the creative and it starts you of with 4500 coins or whatever and at first you can really buy only one or 2 things at the starts when you are just trying to make your own world

Used To Be Great

Completely non-functional now. What a shame.

It’s kinda good I guess

Maybe update and add more stuff also set prices a little bit lower because we don’t want to lose money on a game thats not like (world box god simulation)
Or just a flat non zoom able game

Great game but

Needs to be seen. Broken on modern ios updates.

Iphone 15 or iphone 17

Will have the newest problem call menu deload where part of the game become available giving a black screen on the other side

Dude, seriously

Whenever I load into the game, regardless of how I held my phone it always clipped to this weird square on the left-hand side and I can’t do anything so I don’t know what to do if anyone has any tips or tricks that I can use. Please tell me.

Childhood memories

Great game brings back good memories

Broken on Phone

I used to play this a ton a decade ago but it doesn't work on phone like others have mentioned with the weird zoom. It works fine on my tablet though and is fun to play.

According to the views

This game probably sucks because everything costs money do not buy this.

Can’t play if I have no mana to buy

Please fix this issue
