Great game, but so many bugs: The game will force closed if the control panel was placed. The objects (wood planks, wheels etc.) will rapidly change its size when other objects was selected and placed. The simulation is unconsistent. The shock absorber button is missing. The metal bars cannot be overlapped. Nailed and wrenched objects are weak, meaning it is easily separated. And many more... The game is great, and I'm willing to have this game 5 stars. Please fix the bugs....
This game consumes it and uses it to create some amazing physics. It's a puzzle slash sandbox game with loads of different mechanisms to toy with. I would suggest if there was a flag option that we could return to a mid point in sandbox mode. It would make doing experiments much more enjoyable.
Wow! What can I say? Ever since I installed this game my little brother has stopped lighting his farts, which is an activity he enjoys immensely and which he used to spend much of his spare time doing. He now spends hour upon hour playing this game on my phone. I don't mind one bit since he is farting a lot less and no longer risks setting fire to the house. Mum's a lot happier too. She can invite her friends over for tea without fear of being embarrassed by my brother's rotten antics. Dad is stoked.
Looks pretty but does not work properly on my SGS3. Hard to control and next level button not working. Can't get hammer and spanner functions to work.
The hammer is hard to work with. It says I can use it, but as soon as I let go of the wood, the hammer icon disappears. It is really frustrating. If you can fix this problem, I will totally rate it 5 stars and buy the full version.
DO NOT TRUST BITHACK! THEY HAVE ALREADY ROBBED THE PRINCIPIA PLAYERS OF ALL THEIR WORK BUT THEY HAVE ALSO ROBBED ME OFF MY MONEY FOR THE FULL VERSION OF THIS APP!! THEY OFFERED NO SUPPORT & ONLY CARE ABOUT STEALING FROM YOU!!
I always liked the sandbox and puzzle style engineering games from robots to space to monsters and everything in between but, as I get older, they seem dumber and cheesier or boring. This is exactly what I knew had to be out there for build-it style games. And all the creations? Make your own? There's some smart people out there who should be applying their skills on this games to real life physics and sh**. Perfect job. 10 out of 5 great game!!
Challenging sometimes, and makes you think. You have to know what each thing does to do it correctly. Wish they had hints, by an object jiggling.
Uhhh..hmmmuuuuhummm...so a clever little"game"tons of great fun.. And if I'm not mistaken..an LBP(Little Big Planet) for android devices. I've been waiting for just such an game for a long long time now:-) ! And enjoy that total freedom to do whatever I want in the game world. All in all a very nice little"game"especially for kids if there would be technique like todays...maybee but just maybee my grades would have neen better.
I watched tje video and thats when i texted this :-D
It's obvious the game has massive potential, but it's a bit clunky and unfinished-feeling. The thing that drives me nuts most is the crooked camera angle. Why does it look left... slightly? Why not a straight top-down perspective? Very odd. And the play/pause menus in upper left. Etc... Just feels unfinished. Potential, though. Tons of it. But that's exactly why the unpolished nature of it is so confusing.
A much updated look to a similar puzzle called digital rain which works on a wide variety of devices.
This app was so poor i decided to smash the neighbours windows and shoot his dog.
Everything about this game is gravy. It's simple (get the ball in the bin) yet complex and allows you to use many different ways to solve the levels. The graphics are great and the physics are quite good. Definitely a must try - thinking I will go to the full version though - it definitely seems worth it!
Sad that there weren't more trial levels. But the whole idea is awesome!
I love it! Totally a tweaker toy,since I'm hyperactive dis order,it keeps me busy during the lulls.
It took me longer to download the game than to finish all the levels.
This could be a good game, but it just doesn't have much at all. There are so many features that are excluded from the lite version.
THIS COMPANY IS A ROBBER WHO WANTS TO STEAL YOUR MONEY AND ALL OF YOUR WORK! THEY DON'T EVEN GIVE SUPPORT TO ALL THE MAKERS! SO DONT.GIVE.THEM.MONEY!!!
Makes you use your mind but gets boring after a while good concept
Slightly challenging but lite version is only 12 levels. No need for it once you beat it.
Good app but a little difficult at times and it often gets boring to play at times also!
However the game constantly force close after using sandbox for a few minutes. Its getting pretty frustrating and I hope to see improvements in the upcoming updates. Thanks! :)
Hammer can't be used--keeps disappearing. Same problem as commenter James Johns? On Galaxy S3.
This This Is A Game Where It Helps Immensely To Watch The TUTORIAL Videos.
Shuts down after I put too much things on it
You cannot get things to stick to the background
Please make the hammer a toggle tool so I can nail wood anyway I want, like flatly pressed together. I'm on the third level and I can't get the hammer to show up unless I create some outrageous angle, which is not realistic for a carpenter or engineer to nail. Very frustrating.
