Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Updates since then to the game have added seven more planets, a plant splicing system, a complex potion brewing system, and an electronics/wiring system, among other things, and the game remains the best sandbox game on iOS, mainly due to it having been designed for mobile and thus avoiding the clunkyness of Terraria iOS.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In my opinion Junk Jack(x) still has the best art style in the open world block sandbox genre.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects and OST are there to amuse you as well.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Annoying, but I haven't encountered as many problems as when I play co-op.
