### 4/5 — Good Game but needs to be updated!

*2025-02-23*

I have the vertical version of the game on my phone right now and it is a very good game for kids! However, the game got taken down a while ago and now it doesn’t work on the current version of IOS. It’s sad because there’s more block space in this version than the one we have. Also to the person who wrote a review comparing this to Bloxels, this game is LITERALLY hasn’t been updated 9 years, and I have Bloxels too, and I play this on plane rides because it works without internet, can Bloxels do that?
