Community Insight:
This is a masterpiece. One day Im gonna play crashlands. And will always think of this game while we do it.
We used to say this was the best game in history but when we reached level five we HATED IT!!! And we need help!!! At the beginning we needed to jump off the package and grab it AT THE SAME TIME!! Devs pls help.
So, youre wondering whether or not you wanna buy this game. Two words: DO IT! Its AMAZING for its price, has an awesome and kind community, and the most POWERFUL level creator tools, and absolutely blows the Super Mario Maker games out of the water. Ive been playing, making and sharing for 2.5 years now, im close to uploading our 200th level, and this games worth every penny.
Hi on iPad Ive seen people use things from the main objective to deliver all the packages and Ive seen things that we cant use in the level editor on our iPad please add The things like the bug pieces and the secret robot that you can find in a lot of levels and other things are not in the level editor that are in the main objective to deliver all the packages.
Enough said.you can chill or play intense.create your own levels or something lay someone elses. Best platformer ever.ima noob and Im getting better at this . Peace and love to all responsible for the game and the community.
We have a backbone and would like to please have controller support on the app.
So when we first saw this on the App Store we were not so sure but now we play it EVERYDAY!! Thanks for everything in this game its just crazy how much time yall spent on this. We just have one suggestion.we wish there was a way to send your levels to certain people because you might want certain people to see a level you made for them.But overall we absolutely LOVE this game!!!Keep up the good work bscotch shenanigans!! And also our name is Prototype GR-17. We might make a YouTube channel partly involving Levelhead! Who knows tho Edit: Ok we found a glitch Im not mad because its hilarious if you hit the peanut in just the right way on a regret gate pointing upwards it will stay on on the platform screaming forever upside down until you hit it again.
It's smart that you added the 8-Way D-Pad, but it seems a little unusual and a little uncomfortable to mess around with since you could accidentally press a wrong button by accident (like when we pressed a diagonal button that helped GR-18 throw an item a way where we didn't want it to be). It be better if you added an option to change the D-Pad into a Circle Pad. Moving with that pad will make things smoother, easier, and more comfortable to control. We thought it would be easier for GR-18 to aim it's item to a position where we would want to land in. Overall, the controls are okay but it needs a small option to change it.
We got 2 a level were our pad couldnt work it didnt read our movements.but then again its been really good.
Our account has been hacked and we need help getting CrazyFox back.
This game gives you so much control over your designs, in an intuitive interface that even our 5 year old was able to use. The platforming mechanics are so smooth that even mediocre levels can be a lot to play. Cross play across every platform and cloud saves is extremely useful if you like gaming on a PC or console, but want to be able to create on your phone on the go too. Its one of our favorite games.
This is such a great game, but the controls on mobile make it virtually unplayable.
These are way too hard for starter levels.
The battery drains too fast we've played like dor 25 mins and the battery drains 16% in that time.
Better than Smm2 on our switch and this is way less pricy…. BEST GAME EVER.
It has been a little while (due to COVID-19) since Ive found a game and truly enjoyed it. We got really bored and started looking for a game. Then, we remembered that we took a screen shot of this game to consider it. We found it and searched it on the AppStore. Bought it, got sucked in. We do not regret this purchase. Now now, people say, isnt this basically Mario maker?. It kind of is but its mobile and its got a whole different feeling, different objects and sorts of terrain, and plus its got well thought out puzzles. The campaign is quite enjoyable. Finding the crystals and the gems. And, it multiplayer with online levels made by players. We definitely recommend this to anyone reading this. We havent caught any bugs. 5 Stars.
Im not gonna type out a long review like we usually do. Im just gonna say that this game really is good. Thats it.
Ok, we LOVE this game very much, and personally, its the best platform game ever, but even though you have a bunch of bug fixes going on, our game still isnt working! Can you please fix this.
This is an awesome game. If you love plarformers this is definitely for you. The level editing is very neat and possibilities are endless. Is it possible to have an Apple TV version? It would be so great to play this on the big screen.
Can no longer play, servers continue to say busy and nothing loads.
It takes two finger authentication or an email address to be able to play. We enter our email address and they do not send us anything, so we cannot play the game. Its totally worthless, unbelievable because it takes a login like this to be able to just play a game that we paid for. What a piece of junk. We would expect this kind of security from high-level piece of software, but for a game.
So we logged into the game, and it told us to go to the website to the code, when we get onto the site it gives an ERROR 404 code! We dont know why its doing that but please help.
Attentive devs have made another absolute slam dunk (do yourself a favor and get Crashlands if you havent). This would be a phenomenal game as a stand-alone platformer, but with the brilliant easy to use level editor baked in you get infinite value for one low price! You hear that? The fun is literally LIMITLESS!! And the art is ooh so sexy, why keep staring at the plain text of reviews when you could be feasting on that scrumptious eye candy? Get yourself some of that juicy goodness. You deserve it.
This is a worthy game. Its beautiful. Gives us our platformer buzz. Can get challenging. The game demands you master the controls. Very satisfying.
The game is challenging but that adds to the fun and the controls are innovative so we would love to see a sequel.
This game is great! Its kinda like Super Mario Maker but its different and its on mobile. It would be awesome if you could add auto-scroll feature for levels like Super Mario! We love auto-scroll levels.
We REALLY like this game its really fun, But………. It would be really cool if you guys added costumes for your GR-18 unit so he could sell your goods with fashion. Also it would be nice if playing on controller didnt assume the key binds were xBox. Other than those suggestions we think this is better than Fortnite.
Well worth the price on mobile, with excellent controls.
The best sandbox game we have ever played! Couple more steps to pass Minecraft creative mode.
So this game is basic Mario maker but has a lot more possibilities like you can activate things by walking past A certain Blocks but the only downside is there is no bosses The only Way you can have boss fights is to make enemies bigger yet is funny good game play you should buy if you like Mario maker but feel Limited.
This is one of the most fun and addicting game we have ever played on our phone.
We cant get past the level where you first get the stealth suit. The part where you get the shield heart thingy. Im just annoyed.
So Ive heard of this game before, and it looked really good, so we got the game, and we were not disappointed, the controls are nice, the characters are really funny, the levels are really good, and GR-18 is really cute, and that screen each time you boot up the game gives us life, the only problem we have with the game are the restrictions when it comes to naming levels, you can only use the words that the game give you when naming your level, but other than that its a really great game.
Other than that great game. Reminds us of BadLands (crossover??).
If you are not on 13.0 os or above, when trying to load the tutorial the game will automatically crash. Every single time. We when we play this game on the earlier versions of the os, its a great time. The level editor is so much fun to mess around with. The campaign is super long and is also a fun time even when we play this offline it seen as though there is an infinite amount of content. The power ups are unique and the enemys fell New along with the idea of a package to deliver make this game a lot of fun, but only on 13.0 os and later.
Everything was great except one thing. The controls need a bit more optimizing. You can stretch the size of the buttons but you cant swap places with other buttons. Like what if we want to have movement on the opposite side of the screen, or the power up button on the top of grab and jump. Other than that its amazing.
Would love to play on our iPad using a bluetooth keyboard. Games absolutely great using the apple pencil to create levels but gameplay wise, we just don't prefer the touch controls. Even though theyre some of the best touch controls Ive seen in a game, our hand cramps after a while hence our request for keyboard support. The 4 stars is for the problem we stated with this otherwise fantastic game.
Plays better on Android we hate to admit. Sorry Apple, please forgive for those words! So, yea, delete. $7 dollars down the drain for a crap chute of a game. Our question is, how the hell does it have improved controls?? Mustve been really bad before. Enjoy our money, for we remember you, and we wont make that mistake twice.
The stupid level editor tutorial. We CANT FINISH IT. Please fix this, we just want to play, and we cant skip it, fix it please.
We absolutely love The game incredibly entertained through and through just wish there was an option for a dynamic stick rather static but truly amazing game.
THIS IS SO GOOD ITS REALLY COOL AND ITS LIKE A BETTER VERSION OF MARI MAKER 2 IN A WAY we RECOMMEND ITTTTTTT.
The game works fine with mifi, Xbox, and PS4 controllers. Also works well with the Apple Pencil on the iPad for the level editor. The game is cross play and cross save. There really isnt more we could ask for. Its great as is. We wish it had a world maker so we can chain levels together. But its not needed at all and is an amazing level creator. The campaign is long and challenging as well.
Who knew that a phone game could be a better Super Mario Maker.
Please add controller support and we could imagine playing this for 100s of hours. Thank you.
Omg first off this game is amazing and its definitely a refresher from most other mobile games, yet this one is so underrated we have played crash lands flop rocket and a few others and you guys make some of the best quality games out there and we just wanted to say keep up the amazing work although we would love to see a better joy stick or maybe just more options.
This game is AMAZING! Everything about it is well made and operates smoothly. Definitely worth the dollars.
Nostalgia-inducing soundtrack, cross-platform goodness, tight controls, beautiful colors, hilarious 100+ level campaign, and we get to consistently beat our friends times on levels, including the levels they built?!? Yes please.
Just get this piece of amazement.
This is one of our favorite games! Its so fun to play! We have one problem though, and its that the movement buttons on the left side of the screen make it very hard to hit the one you want. We think it would be cool to be able to choose your joystick type in the future. Love it.
The goods being quality gameplay with responsive controls and endless challenging levels. We are a fan of this studio, if you havent checked out their story and their podcast and their other games, we recommend it vigorously. Also if the brothers are reading these, Seth we watched your Streamgame stream on the youtube and am excited for it to resume after this launch thing. Im learning Gamemaker and working on game art, so much fun, thanks guys.
