Review summary

Users appreciate the app's creative concept and potential for building machines, especially for simple builds. However, many criticize camera controls for being glitchy and disorienting, limited building connections leading to fragile structures, and lack of essential features like undo and better deletion. Intrusive ads and mechanical part issues further hinder gameplay. Overall, the app shows promise but requires significant improvements to controls, mechanics, and usability.
Pros
  • Innovative and interesting concept for building machines and contraptions.
  • Good for small and simple builds.
  • Has potential to become a great game with improvements.
  • Provides creative freedom for building and testing constructions.
Cons
  • Camera controls and angles are problematic, often described as glitchy, difficult to navigate, and disorienting.
  • Building mechanics are limited: components can only connect to one other, causing structural instability and frustration.
  • Lack of essential features such as undo button, easy deletion controls, and better component management.
  • Ads are intrusive, playing every time the player tests their build, negatively impacting user experience.
  • Servos and powered wheels have issues, like not synchronizing or moving too slowly, and there is limited control over mechanical parts.

Great idea. Works well for the small, simple builds. But buildind more complex machines is limited. Yes in real world struts do have flex and yes servos don't work at the same time/speed. But in the real world we connect peaces at multiple points to fix these problems. Can't wait to see how improved Machine Builder 2 will be.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!! It's a great concept and has massive potential HOWEVER the fact you can only join one component to one other makes building corners of frame's/structure's near impossible and gives no rigidity to machines. Also if you hide the list of components to calibrate you can't get them back to do anything with them. Hugely disappointing

He's terrible do not waste your temper and time on it made me almost cry on the third level I don't even know of anyone can get past the third level it just don't waste your time I hate it so much service aren't fast enough I it's called machine so it should be able to let you build like helicopters but no it's terrible trashy don't even spend your time on this okay kids please do not this is just I disappointed I recommend a different game

This game could be great however one simple issue in my opinion makes it trash when you build things and you come around to connect back to what you're building all the parts you build with only connect to one connection so if you got a cube connecting on four sides when you go to play it it all falls apart fix that issue and I would love this game

Awful building controls. Why on earth did you design such terrible touch controls. No removal button. Instead you have to touch between half a pixel to remove it. No undo button. No clear idea how the item you built works. On top of it all. An ad plays every. Single. Time. You press play. So if you made one small mistake you have to watch another ad after you make a small adjustment. Greedy development team.

Camera is all over the place. No tutorial or instructions. Not even a menu. Totally unplayable with the camera problem. Uninstalled.

The controls are pretty bad, there's a fairly limited amount of parts, there's an ad every single time you test your build, and the levels could use some work

fairly good, but the camera is kinda bad, there should be an undo button and deleting is pretty bad, if i delete a block connected to a pipe that lines up to another block, the pipe will also be deleted because it is not actually attatched to the other block.. kind of annoying, and instead of having 2, 4, 6 and 10 long, maybe just make them resizable.. and powered wheels are very slow, maybe add a speed and or torque slider?

It is a nice concept but the controls are glitchy. When I move the sticks around, the camera moves as well. Add different camera angles like fixed, free move and more detailed information about parts

It's great the camera could use a bit of work and the servos don't like to react at the same time, I wish I could fuse things together cause things kinda fall apart depending on how it's put together. The left powered wheel controls need to be reversed to drive forward or back. It would be cool if you could add a hight adjustable hydraulic and a way to test the machines mechanics without leaving the blueprint screen.
