Skyscraper 4D

I want to start off by saying this game is great for someone who is into the field of architecture and building design, like myself. You can let your imagination go wild and create buildings and skyscrapers that may be impossible to recreate in real life. However, it isn’t perfect. There are many things that can change and should change in order to really help the game become the game it is supposed to be. First, I want to start off with offline money. I find it quite annoying that money cannot be made offline. Despite being a good game, it really drains battery. Especially on lower-end devices. If money could be made offline, we would be able to give ourselves and our devices a break while not having to worry about coming back to only $764,577 left over from the megatall skyscraper you just built. Second, the premium restrictions. While I personally did buy premium, the highest one you can get, I find the starter pack restrictions to be a little too harsh. If these could be eased up in order to give those who cannot or do not want to buy premium a little more freedom, that would awesome. Lastly, and this is the one that really bothers me, we need more “diversity” in our columns and beams. Adding horizontal columns or vertical beams in order to give our buildings more modern looks would be a dream come true. Horizontal columns would allow vertical columns to be placed without having to extend them all the way to the floor, while vertical beams would allow you to build more diverse corners, instead of simple sharp or round edges. While I will continue playing the game, I hope the things listed above will be improved or added to the game. The sky’s the limit.

So, they finally did a new update; gotta say I like some of the new items. However, there are of course, some flaws. Aside from the fact that it was mainly a performance update, it didn’t help at all. I have a brand-new iPhone 11. I opened the app and tried opening my city after the update. It finished loading halfway and then crashed. And I reopened the app and it did the same thing again. I even tried restarting my phone, that didn’t help. Also, what is this weird thing with the floor plan items? Normally I’m used to the glass doors and plain walls enclosing the space and adding floor space and square footage. Now I have to enclose each room by lining it with beams? No! I hate that! Also, the amount of columns needed are unrealistic. There are such things in real life such as load bearing walls and studs. Also, a mirroring glitch with the glass doors. When it is only one handle on the glass door, and I have it mirroring, all of the handles will face either to the left or the right, and it’s super annoying, especially when I want BOTH SIDES to mirror EXACTLY. Another thing, I’m used to the top floor turning into just a roof with a glass wall around it, but now, it uses the top floor’s floor plan items and it looks like rooms without roofs. So that’s annoying. Another thing, it keeps saying this would be supported in a later release, but when exactly are the developers planning on making ground-floor pool and hot tub compatibility? I’m kind of sad that I paid for premium and get an app that crashes and glitches.

i like the concept of an app where you get to build skyscrapers of your imagination with no interruptions. i love it, but there are some cons to this app that are enough of an impact to the gameplay that i have to mention it. first, money is not made offline, meaning you have to be ON the app in order to make money which is a waste of battery. having to wait for money by afking on the app is very annoying, so id suggest allowing the player to make money offline as well so they can take a break from the app and come back to a good amount of money to start building again. another flaw is how the camera controls can sometimes have a few bugs and your camera ends up flying off the map. fixing this would be greatly appreciated. lastly, some restrictions for non-premium users are too much. i get it, you need money to continue developing the app and you already dont have ads. still, limited undos? that can be severely irritating if you make a major mistake, dont realize it and proceed with another action, and then not being able to undo that. one balcony per floor is also unreasonable imo but limited undos is the main issue. tl:dr - camera bugs, nonpremium restrictions too far, not making money offline otherwise great game
