This has the potential to be a lot of fun, but it is plagued by its many, many bugs. I tried buying the microtransaction that disables advertisements, but it won’t let you purchase it. I experimented with the other microtransactions, and none of them work, either. The chests that you earn in game that give you currency from watching an advertisement often don’t work either. I will watch the video, but the game usually won’t award me with the currency. There’s a sound glitch where all game audio disappears that occurs every time I play it, and the tool animations glitch out every time I select the Iceman body style. But the biggest issue I’ve found is as soon as I used the first “rare” body style, the entire game froze, and now I can’t play it at all. Even if I quit the app and restart it, it immediately freezes as it reopens. The developers should have polished this game a whole lot more before releasing it.
So I love this game as someone who builds and plays guitars, but I unlocked the Ibanez iceman and every time I finish it, it won’t let me continue. I also have all of my tools almost fully upgraded but if I go to quick on the neck it glitches to where I can’t pick my colors and thus restart the game.... all in all more colors, bodies, pick up options, and to fix those glitches. The game will be phenomenal. 2 more things that’s not super important but it bugs me the strings go through the pick ups and bridge when in reality it’s supposed to go over and when the tuners are on the left side the tuners go clock wise while the string winder goes counter clockwise
The idea and mechanics of this game are fantastic. I know this game is still early in development so instead of my critiques, I’d like to list some possible update ideas. As everyone else has already said, more bodies and necks are always gonna be a good thing. But I’d like to see more customization in the way of color, pickups, and knobs. Also, I have discovered a bug. That bug being that if I build a guitar or any number of guitars, close the app and come back, I can sell them regardless of the price. One more thing, the first guitar that I ever built I set for up for sale but the timer has not counted down and I have not been able to sell the guitar. Bugs aside, this is a great game with a fantastic idea and I look forward to future updates.
Start by cutting the wood then choose a color to paint, install electric components, strings and more!
