Ratings and reviews

The mods and stuff are really cool. One problem is that there are a lot of bugs, and the app crashes as I try to load the MineTest game when I choose a mod with a bug in it that I didn't know has issues instead of showing the script error so I could see what the problem is. Sometimes laggy, but it may have to do with the fact that I'm playing this on my phone.

Touch controls are... weird at best, and inefficient at worst. The touch controls are not what I was expecting.. double tap to place/interact with blocks is weird but usable. The worst touch control is the combat mechanics, you have to hold your finger on the screen over the enemie your trying to do damage to.. not only does this take time to do its also very buggy, if you don't hold your tap over the enemie when your about to swing it straight up won't do damage, sometimes doesn't swing at all.

Fantastic concept for a miner game, with free mods galore at a literal tap of a button. However, the actual game itself is clunky on mobile devices, making movement and block manipulation a huge chore. My only suggestion would be to make these easier to control, perhaps by utilizing a virtual joystick and 2 buttons (for breaking and placing) otherwise, great game.
