Early Access Review So I Hope It Can Help. The game is my deemed better than the free variant and what a pity is that most is assumed to be based on pixel points that zombies the people attack run them by chance to the and they are without animation or otherwise zombies than if they are at b Attification ebbing the form ending ... Very much is confusing and not really volziebar, you can give the little men tasks but the need to do a long time they do! In time, a Boring is at the point Of looking at it and you burn it again. In short and large the game is far from finished and most of the pictures above that you siet screnshots are lying and do not correspond to the Original!!!! It makes it just on duration fun and Holds you even Short! Find it too expensive yet and guess first!!! But if it's biliger it's worth it! I hope something could help

Early Access Review This Game is a really great casual Game. It includes great Puzzles as well as almost limitless Design possibilities. The Levels are lovingly designed and not always easy to create. If you can't get ahead, you can easily buy one of three Tips for 20 Mana (In-game currency). If these are not enough, you can simply skip the Level. Mana is obtained after each level created. If the Mana becomes Scarce, you can additilt the daily Day quest for a bit of Extra Mana. The Game is already known from mobile Gaming. There is only one small Difference on the PC Version: The style-free Free Mode is shown in HD. That means even more Pixels than normal! I find the Game is a successful Game for a little Variety in Everyday life and is really worth the €10. I give 9/10 Points as the Levels have unfortunately not yet appeared in HD as they are the same as in the mobile Version.

Some may know and may even like the mobile version of this Game, I felt similar, but now you can see this Game, all the positive Memories have evaporated. You can still look at the seemingly bad looking graphics on the PC screen if you know the Mobile Game, but for which I can't understand are crashes as soon as you call the success menu, bugged Achievements and the Fact that If my skips a Level can pay with ingame currency and then get a bigger Reward, which leads to you clicking through without serious Attempts to solve the Puzzles. Where is the Motivation? In addition, some Texts do not fit into the designated Fields and there are no Umlauts in the German Version. Unnecessary Mistakes that rob the Game of Any Fun Factor. I only have the playing time of 11 Times because I ran The Sandbox one Night to get the game time achievements (well) ... Better not to buy, even keeping all DLCs does not justify the Price.
