Community Insight:
Our only suggestion would be for a way to disable the wizard or make it so he stops moving back and forth across the screen. Its really distracting when it feels like nearly every brick we place makes him move across the screen.
It has amazing game play and requires no internet and has low to zero ads.
We absolutely love this game! But the game is a little to small on phone for us. We will say though that since it is pretty similar to tricky towers its a great way to practice and get better at tricky towers. So therefore we will rate it 5 stars.
We cant really say more than that, its really fun and engaging.
We love this game but we wish it was like on Xbox like fighting people and with all the cool spells and we could help spread the word about the app but please consider it please we dont want to ever see this app get removed.
This is a great game we found out about it after playing tricky towers and this game is great but we think you should add some story to tricky tower like in this game.
Downloaded because we loved Tricky Towers on steam and switch. We are obsessed with Tricky Towers so a mobile version is great so we can play while Im not home! There are some differences but its still fun and somewhat the same. The only thing we wish we could get rid of is the Tricky Towers ads that Im getting telling us to get it on pc or console. We wish there was a way we could prove our Tricky Towers purchase so those ads can stop bothering us lol.
THIS WAS MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY and if you want desktop version plz get tricky towers and also this was before tricky towers.
Im obsessed we played it when we were 8 then we got it again and we cant stop we highly recommend its literally amazing we cant even explain it.
Thank you for bringing tricky towers to ios! This game is made just like it and we really enjoy it. Everyone who watches us play has downloaded it and enjoys it too! We have no complaints :).
This game is great but its an exact copy of tricky towers we would recommend playing this and tricky towers so when your not playing against friends you can practice.
This game is awesome but it is hard so we still love it so cool lol.
This is a very fun game but if you drop three blocks at once you die instantly and if you dropped 3 or more how about you only lose one life other then that a amazing game :).
If you're looking for Tetris alternatives this is it, its very cute and simple yet challenging, we would like for them to update the app because the commercials that let you get more coins dont work and it takes forever to grind for them but if you just think about playing to pass the time and you arent into the achievements it has its great for that too.
That time a casual washes up tricky Towers player get rolled in into potato dough in a tournament run by his good friends.
Can we get updates mobile version to include the skins and competitive pvp modes that the desktop version of the game has??? We see our favorite streamers playing against each other and would love the option to do the same on all platforms.
It is a nice take on Tetris as you have to now make a tower from them without loosing too many. Also it has nice music, reminds us of The Sims. Since EA decided to kill Tetris, this game is a great replacement.
Its so harder than you think.we like itLol.
How to make friends in 99 bricks.
We really love this game its because we see Youtubers like its funny playing and like having fun like doing challenges and like doesnt even have a problem to put stuff on to make for players five we dont know but it is really good for kids kids get entertained they learn how to like put stuff in make like something thick strong to hold it and make a tower to the top its kind a like a race youre wrong its a catch you know thats tag we mean they run another person runs and they see who can go to learn the fastest.
Dont get us wrong we love this game and we would play it all the time if it werent for these 3 minuscule problems with it. 1st thing the 4th tower in the game the far right tip is raised a little high and its infuriating when we get everything flat at the beginning and when we place a block it tilts inwards because we of it. 2nd thing the ice wizard and the gold power up makes the block just a smidge to big and screws up the the tower for us. 3rd thing the level 2 of the island power up(Idk if its all of them) is always a half block away from where the tower begins and we have to make this awkward transition a half block. Those or the only things Ive noticed and please if you can fix them we ourselves have OCD and these things really bug us and prevent us from playing constantly because we get bothered and upset when our tower gets nicked over because of something we cant prevent.
We love this game absolutely no flaws! The characters are cute and they have great outfits.
We love this game and all we even beat it but one time we came on and all of our progress was gone if you could help then that would be great like we said we really like the game but now we find it hard to play for more then 5 minutes because starting over is really hard so please fix.
Im addicted! And sad we didnt find this game sooner. Definitely check out Tricky Towers if you love this game. Its newer, on console and pc, and with newer features and graphics. Worth every penny.
Thank you so much EA for creating such a garbage Tetris app and booting all the Tetris clones. We probably never would have found this game if your Tetris app wasnt such a piece of trash. We Iove this game. It is a brilliant idea, basically Tetris with physics and a few innovative twists. It is evident the creators put a lot of care into this project. It is the kind of game you play on your commute and you keep playing when you get home. L am a so happy we found it. Our only complaint is the controls, especially when things get speedy. We think it would be better to designate an area or a space for flipping pieces and the rest of the screen for swiping left and right. Sometimes a quick swipe is interpreted as a touch/flip.
This game is super fun! You can spend a long time in it because it keeps it fresh with a variety of power ups. Perfect for a road trip.
Its not the same as ps4 and stuff but still pretty cool!! But we think the bricks could hold on to each other better and maybe multi player but only with wi fi but still really cool like the spells you learn and mania gelious wizards The only 2 things that need work are the bricks and your character needs to be a custom character.
Good but not as good as ps4 version but its ok cause it IS the app version.
Its like super annoying addicting to the point our boyfriend and our friend takes our phone just to play this.
The physics are a little different from tricky towers so theres a tiny learning curve, other than that its still pretty good.
We have it on ps4 and mobile. Glad this game exists! Thanks to the devs.
A whole lot of fun, but the best part is definitely looking back at your completed tower and being able to see it all. "we were doing really well there," "we narrowly survived that bit," "The ice blocks almost got us there." It just makes a great game so much better.
We typed in tricky towers to see what would come up and we found this…ill take it :).
Great game very addicting. Works well on mobile and Mac via steam.
Very fun and no technical glitches to speak of.
One of our favorite games. We may like the iphone version more than the ps4 version.
This game is severely underrated. It has every character trait of a classic addictive phone game, while also being very pretty to look at. We love this game.
We like the game teaxtures and the blocks but some more spells and you need modes like race if your friends have this game.
Hello good afternoon or morning we love this game we play it everywhere like in the car in the house or sometimes in the bed! But we cant give this game 5 stars! The reason for this are the controls we get tired of this from swiping Left Right and Down. If you can add this to the game or something close to this maybe we can give it a 5 star game. Please add some buttons pointing Left,Right,and Down So our hands dont get tired for this reason. And also can you please make it not need PS4 to play with others please? Us and our sister really want to play together but we cant because sadly we do not have a PS4. Thank you for your time.
We love this game but for some reason it keep on doing random spells even when we dont press on the spells and it waste our magic points. Other than that the game is really good.
Love to play it on planes just wish that to each level like there where new blocks or just more stuff to keep you surprised.
Great game. This game is very fun to play and never gets old. Although it is addictive, it is one of our favorite games. The one minor thing that is annoying to us is that when you pause, the game resumes immediately after you press play, giving you no time to react. Otherwise, this game is great.
We like the concept of it. One problem, there isnt any cool down when you loose a life by dropping a brick. So you can just lose instantly if you happen to drop three bricks. If you add a cool down, we may give it five stars.
So we have gold upgraded to sapphire so we place 2 blocks as an objective and it doesnt work.
Hi everyone Im ku or you can call us that. We want to to tell you want you can add to this game. So, when it says play with other wizards we thought that they meant you can play against other people. But it just to play with a person for a second. Pls add that you can play with other people like NOT robots thanks. This is for the developers pls reply to our text thanks so much. Now since thats done to people reading this and dont know how to play this is how: so you have a wizard and you have bricks that you stack. If three fall you lose or the hame is over.
Absolutely addicted!! The only thing missing now is multiplayer!! We wish we could challenge others online.
We like this game we want two player.
This is a good game, we just wish we could have the option to play without wind.
