?

when i try t obuy the full game it loads (of course) and then says "Done!" and then it says "Purchase approval is pending. Full access will unlock automatically after approved." but no one got an approval message and i dont have a phone so i dont know how to fix this!?!

Response from developer

Hi, sorry this has been frustrating! You don’t need an iPhone to purchase the Mac version. It sounds like Apple is reporting that your purchase is still pending. If your family uses Ask to Buy, please ask your parent or family organizer to check Messages on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad for the request. Apple’s approval guide explains where to find it⁠. If nobody can find the request, please ask Apple Support to check the purchase approval issue. If it’s already been approved, reopen WatchBlocks and select Restore.

Help pls

Whenever I open this app on my watch it loads and then kicks me out every time very frustrating

Response from developer

I believe I found the issue and fixed it with v1.7.1. Check it out, and let me know if it still occurs. Thanks! - Formidable Studio

Great Game, Download Immediately

I was looking for games on my Apple Watch and found this absolute star of a game. The fact that is can be on a standalone Apple Watch is just great! The ONE developer is working hard and deserves all the support! I tried a mini game and immediately got first place, somehow! My only wish is that you never make it unable to play after a certain IOS update, because then I couldn’t play. It’s very fun to watch a game like this grow from the very start. Overall, great game and developer, most likely will be buying full

EDIT: Please do not make it able to not be playable on a STANALONE Apple Watch. Also, I found a “bug” where a button will only function if you click the text of a button, not the button itself.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the review, In the next update, there will be fixes to both of those issues. If those issues persist after, please feel free to contact me again. I got a lot of reports from people after v1.6.3 that it became unplayable, so this next update should help fix it.

Fun but unreadable

The game is very fun but there is no option to change the language

Response from developer

Hello thank you for the review! For the language issue, there is a way to change your language. Go to the gear icon on the start screen, click the monitor icon (it’s the second one on the top row) and it’s the top option in the list. English is the top language you can select. This bug is caused by an issue where in your device settings, if you have another language as your secondary, it will use that in the game. This will be fixed in the next update. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, and thank you for your review!

Your go to game for watch

This is not like those random vibe coded simple games that take up like 5 kb. This is a great game for watch. Very well featured!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! Really glad you like it, and I can’t wait to keep adding more to it, and making it more fleshed out
