Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Beautiful rendition of Mario maker played it endlessly as a child.
The wide version is broken aka Is not compatible with the newest iOS version , you should fix the wide version.
When we were like 3 or 4 we played this game so much! We accidentally uninstalled the game a couple years ago and forgot the title. But then a few days ago, out of nowhere we thought of this game so we went searching all over the App Store. After a few minutes we found this game and now this is giving us so many memories. Jaxcutt.
This game is such a good game you can make so many levels and we love to play this.
Pls update the wide version, Im begging.
We remember playing this game when we were 6 years old (2015) and this was the most fun game we ever player when we were a child, we remember building a dont move game, where the missiles do all the work, and it was fascinating. Im so glad we were able to find this game again, because Ive always tried to search this game up, putting in pickle pickle or pickl pickl and we were always sad when the game wouldnt pop up. Thank you guys for this game, we hope you all are doing well.
Good game fun gameplay Im js writing this for the wide screen or wtv, used to play this as a kid and its still really fun.
PLEASE ADD NEW ITEMS AND NEW BACKGROUND THIS BEEN MY CHILD HOOD FOR 3 years please.
Fix the translation. Plus the apps name is in Japanese we think idk the language please fix.
We tried this before, but 1 question. Did you code this in ASSEMBLY? Otherwise there is no possible way that you managed to optimize this to the point that it would fit into an N64 cartridge. (8 MB).
We think its SUPER COOL to make action games.
We love this game but this game need more things! Idea 1. Can you make more power up! Idea 2. Can you make moving breakable block! Idea 3. Can you make race mode! Idea 4. Make customs blocks mode! Idea 5. Plz make disappearing and appearing block.
We just want to say thank you to the developers. This game reminds us of a very specific and special time in our life during the 4th grade when we used to play this game on our ipad all the time. For years we couldn't remember the name of the game anymore, but we always could remember the music and the graphics. We haven't found it again since a couple months ago. We're in 8th grade now and we'll never forget this game,.
- Maybe you could add a setting to change your avatar on it. 2. You could add a setting to make your own block. 3.thats all.
Make a new setting for the character:FireBall(A gun that shoots out your hand)& A new Item:Expander(Makes the level longer)(THESE ARE MY IDEAS!!!!).
Its up its really fun and it lets you get your creativity out its a great alternative to Mario maker.
This game brought us so much joy whenever we were sad we always played it and it would make us happy even when we lost this game was probably the best one we ever played thank you for creating it.
We love it so much we created a ton Of levels.
Hi we love your game and some people dont understand like our friend has this game she thinks its terrible but we love it.
We love Nintendo intertainment system games And snes nes and arcades and iPads And we iOS android And on iOS android you can play PicoPico Thanks PicoPico developers have fun making other fun games for people and we believe in you developers to make fun games for everyone that people will play and love so much and thanks again for making global games.
Everyone says this is a knockoff of SMM2 but it's the exact opposite.
Wow -_- reviews just dont appreciate how you made this game so well done also imma gotta say we never played super mario maker or super mario maker 2.
Great but its a rip off to mario maker and mario maker 2.
Amazing game! Its a little hard to build but you get the hand of it after a while. Our Mario maker wont work on our wii, so this helps a lot. Great game.
We want new blocks, and needs cooler music, But it is awesome.
This is good in all but is there any way that the physics and the designs can be made better?( btw this is literally good in the way) we hope you hear this.
For a Mario maker copy its amazing it adds stuff thats not even in Mario maker.
Just need to update the other one plz.
This game is good for people who like obby but we want to make a game its good but its needs more obstacles and power ups and we made a lot of obbys.
We can make our own levels COOL! Also we like that its pixelated.But, we would like a mushroom so if you get hurt by bee or anything you wont restart. You need to jump next to the mushroom to get it.Also we would like a enemy that walks on the ground. Thats ALL we need to say. We hope you reply on this.
We love this game and appreciate how it actually has a website to actually upload your levels so people can play them! But, there is one thing we dont like, its that it has this type of repetitive music choice, we like the bop, and the Mario aesthetic, but, the music is just repetitive! So, if you are reading this, can you please change the music a bit? So that the song is maybe of the users or persons choice? Im just saying, this game is pretty cool! Thank you so much for actually making a game like this! Also go to their website pico77.com, please, its amazing.
The game is awesome but we ligit need bosses to make it fun.
Good variety of traps and hazards to overcome and build in levels. Good level editor. Many creative and fun levels. Many bad levels too. Some so amateurish that they have no place in a professional product. Level difficulty progression very haphazard, with moderately hard levels at start, and many trivially easy levels later. Levels should be curated better for quality and progression. Unknown purpose of collectible coins, since game doesn't keep persistent record of them. Many levels require pixel-perfect positioning, but player movement is slightly too jerky to suit this level design. Jumping, falling, and walking need acceleration adjustment to suit levels, or levels need to require less precision. Levels are playable as is, but often feel awkward with current movement. Player can exit visible level area, which feels cheap and unprofessional. Many levels require player to exit visible area by jumping above the top of the screen, which is very wrong. Visible screen borders should be made solid to the player character, and levels redesigned to account for this. Annoying how player slides quickly down ladders unless climbing upward. Automatic slide down speed on ladder should be slower, similar to falling speed in water, but not as slow to differentiate their functions.
Lemme tell about cactus in ya game why is it a trap block so please make it 10 secs instead of 5 secs.
One of the best games on the App Store.
So this game is pretty good, Pros: Decent selection of stuff to put in your levels, Lots of levels to play and lots of places to make levels and the game runs smoothly. Cons: The level system here is Extremely bad, There are some insanely hard levels here at the start of whatever level system it is, And way easier ones at the end. Some of these levels are extremely bad, either undecorated or just plain bad to the point it seems like some newbie just spammed a bunch of blocks and called it a level, literally. The top of the screen can be entered by jumping into it or a block moving onto the top of the screen. This can help with some interesting mechanics so Ill give it that. Oh and maybe wider levels please. -Random guy that complained.
Can you add some more enemies please and also add a boss even in the maker thingy.
Good game to be exact but there is a bug. Background is not spelled correctly.
Many levels in this game are excruciatingly tedious or difficult for no reason, especially the spiked spiral and the one where you bounce into moving bricks to not get hit. Small recommendations for these issues can be placeable checkpoints, power-ups that can tank damage or make you invincible, or even make your levels harder as you progress rather than spread around haphazardly.
This game is good and all but it takes a lot of storage to have it just saying.
We mean, its a nice Mario maker rip off, so thanks. All we want is a bit better enemies to toy with.
We give the stage 41 a 1 star rating.
Its unfair you cant even do stuff on level two but The building thing where you build the stuff is cool thats the only good thing about this app.
We had android phone but it doesnt work any more so now we hav ios BUT our ios cant tap the buttons so in stuck on main screen so please fix th bug.
The game is too old school, please update it so it has new features and so the game screen is bigger.
It's like a mobile Mario maker :D.
Our 5 year old loves this app. Mainly bc it's 'kind of' like Mario Maker for the Wii U.
Wish could pay 1$ to turn off banners. Other then that a fun side scroller.
