8 of 15Great game brings back good memories
Needs to be seen. Broken on modern ios updates.
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
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
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
A glitch zooms the game into one small part of the screen, rendering it utterly unplayable before one second of play time has occurred. It should probably be removed from the App Store until fixed.
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.
The game only shows half the screen, and the rest is black. It’s completely unplayable
