I love this game but new to the legos so reading some patterns have been harder! I love how easy it makes it but only lets you place whatever they have shown even if you know where pieces go you must go in their order. Wish we got more energy to be able to build longer without annoying ads. I know you can probably purchase and have no ads but some can’t afford that! Overall i like it better than other building apps i have tried. Note that the farther along you get the sets get more pieces! Thanks very much!

The game itself is actually really fun. Spinning a gacha box to acquire new sets and suddenly seeing your screen get that UR animation is neat. However, it is obvious how desperate the developers are to make even a cent off of this, which is standard on the app store (and has been for like 10 years). However, the way this developer does it is different. You have 90 energy, 3 things you can build (some sets require you to spend more than 30 energy to fully complete it) that regenerates slowly. The devs have sneakily set in a system where (it has happened to me twice in a row now) when you do a set at 60, you suddenly have 0 energy despite the set itself costing 30. The moment you finish the set the game hits you with an ad, then throws FOUR (1,2,3,4 FOURRR) pop-ups to try and get you to spend money on the game. Not to mention many of the thousands of different currencies in the game require you to play it as if you’re training for an Esports buildit team to earn any amount that is useful. Oh wait, you can’t grind it anymore! Here’s 15 different popups to distract you from the fact that we actively try to force you to pay money to enjoy our game in the first place! Just make it worth a set amount on the app store for goodness sakes. Rather just build a real set at this point.

This game has potential to be really fun. Some of the sets are really cool and others are not my cup of tea, but I understand them trying to appeal to a wider audience. What kills this game for me is the nonstop paywall everything is hidden behind. I understand ads on a free game, you gotta make money somehow. If I like a game enough, I’ll buy the no ads pass, like I did with this one. I also understand the concept that the no ads pass will only remove popup ads. What ticks me off is you have a battle pass of sorts, as many games these days do, where you can collect free rewards which are ok, or you can pay for the pass which will give you a ton of new sets. And now you are trying to get me to watch ads for the free rewards. Absolutely not. I mean the popup ads removal was $8. I’ve seen games give so much more with the ad removal for only $5. And to top it all off, you have the stupid energy bar which only allows you to build 3 bags at a time, with a 3 hour wait period in between. Once you are below 30 energy (the amount you need to build one bag) you get 4 BACK TO BACK popups asking you to buy more energy. This game has worked my last nerve, and it isn’t even worth the $8 I spent. Your greed is going to kill this game.
