I have 2 bugs I have found. The first one is that although I see the everything in the WatchBlocks mods are free it will still not let me get them and they’re still grayed out. I’m not sure if this next one is necessarily a bug, but when I equipped the launcher, the items that I scroll through cover my character and I can’t use the crown to move when I equipped the launcher. other than those bugs, though I love the game and I love how many things are accessible for free and how many outfits there are. thank you so much for making a great watch game to play on the go. **Developer response:** I’m going to look into the mods again, it could just be the device your on, in which case I’m going to test on multiple devices to see if I can figure out what the bug is. The launcher on watch uses the Digital Crown to scroll through items. This may be something I change in the future, because it does disrupt the walking mechanic. Thank you for the review, I’m glad so many people enjoy this game! ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable *2026-09-05* This is actually a very enjoyable game! Most of the features are available for free, and it is a very feature-full game, there are lots of biomes and blocks and enemies. I find it to be a very enjoyable game to play and discover new things in **Developer response:** Thank you for the review, I really appreciate it! There will be a lot more content to be released.
