Block Bros: Platformer Builder

OMG! Block Bros is an amazing game! It almost has everything that a platform builder game needs! It has campaigns, endless level designs, different background choices, online contact with other players, a follower option for people who’s levels you enjoyed, amazing looking skins you can buy, your own created medals, and unique block and obstacle types! This game is a definite download for people who like things like Super Mario Maker! But, like most people, I’m gonna have to point out, THE ADS. They’re everywhere! If you play a level and beat it, you’ll either be rewarded with blocks, or gems. (Gems are the in-game currency) But, to get the gems, you have to watch ADS. And, if you were wondering, YES! There is a way to get rid of the ads! There’s an ad removal option in the store! Yeah, for ONE THOUSAND GEMS. When you watch a video for gems, you usually get from 2 to 8 gems, depending on the level’s difficulty. That’s very little comparing to A THOUSAND GEMS! So, my point is: ads. They’re a problem. But otherwise, this game is amazing! Without the ads, the game would be PERFECT! But, one suggestion. Maybe some side scrolling, so you could make more level, or enemies that attack you when you get near them. Or maybe portals that, when you go through them, they take you somewhere else! Just ideas, though. Not problems. So yeah, get Block Bros!!! But, be warned! Ads are a major threat. -Obvios :3

Overall, this game is great, the community of BlockBros is inviting and friendly, the player-made levels are great, but the only problem (for me anyway) how expensive (in the in-game currency, "gems") some of the items are when you compare the price to the very few gems you can earn playing other people's levels, and the campaign is pretty difficult, requiring pixel perfect jumps rather than normal skill, despite it being the only way to get gems at a reasonable pace. But don't let that stop you, the game is actually amazing. Even with high in-game prices, all this means is that in BlockBros, if you want something, you have to work pretty hard for it. (Maybe a little too hard though.)

I honestly think that BlockBros is a really creative level-making and level-playing game. But there’s one thing that really annoys me and I would love if they fixed this. It’s that when you play BlockBros offline, it doesn’t let you see your profile AT ALL. I know it sounds minor, but there’s really not much to do when you’re offline other than just playing the campaign or buying stuff. I mean, it probably has to do with the comments or something, and if it does then just have us be able to play the level but not check the comments! In conclusion, I think you should be able to look at your levels when you’re offline. Sincerely, a true BlockBros fan.

Ok so if you take out this issue. The game is perfect. The community is small. Friendly. And enjoyable . But there are 2 serious issues with this game that need to be address. The first being only able to have 1 Level slot at a time . We need atleast 3 so I can make more than one stage at a time. And 2. The trolls / Olivz Are horrible players who take over the home chat and find ways to bypass the anticurse system. For what I know. It’s all done by the same person. And Daigo seriously should find some way to device ban them. Other than this the game is fine! 5/5

Pros: -Reliable community servers. -Reasonable pricing for in-game purchases. -Frequent-enough content updates considering the amount of people behind the game and the game’s alternate multiplayer function. -Well-designed single-player mode with 300 levels at the time of reviewing. -The music could be worse. (The older songs seem to drone on without too much to spice it up, some songs have too much going on at once with way too much reverb, Floating Island though is really nice to listen to.) Cons: -Physics for some blocks seem cobbled together, producing strange effects. -Horrible stability on my device. (personally observed on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7, softlocks/hardlocks sometimes every 5 minutes, other times seems very stable) While the community can be complained about, I wouldn’t rate the game poorly on that merit, although it must be pointed out that the game can be very discouraging with the combination of the ranking system of levels and the audience playing the game.
