Block Fortress App Reviews

This game would be really nice, if it would be complete… Random crashes all the time. Network is a pain in the ass. Multiplayer is not possible to play against each other. Only Coop is possible. otherwise this game makes a lot of fun.

Please make the graphics better come on this is a mac not iPad please fix! THEN 5 STARS

I want my money back. this game is not fun.

I like the concept, I have no problem with the game what so ever, Co-op should use something other than Game Center as Co-op requires you have friends and that they are even playing this game or that they are on, other games that use Game Center allow you to randomly find other players to play with. And the game still crashes when trying to load a downloaded map for co-op.

The controls are terrible they just took the ipad version and put it on the mac without making any changes to the keys and the fact that when you start a map it still says "TAP to place barracks". The game is boring and no fun at all and I cant download other maps. The graphics are awful when I stop moving to place a block it looks like im looking at a really bad painting.. Give me my 12 dollars back.

This is an awesome game and after the recent updates, the mac version is almost perfect. Sure, the graphics do look like they were made for a mobile device but all in all a very fun game. Keep the updates coming to the mac version please!

Is there any chance you guys will update the mac version to the current version? just wondering!

I played the Iphone version this game is seriously addicting. Was completely surprised how much strategy there actually is. I am used to RTS this is almost the same. The problem is game doesnt work on IMAC.

I had been waiting for this release ever since playing it for iOS. This is an awesome game, and even better with the use of keyboard, and mouse. I would recomend it to people who like mine craft, and maybe the old school Command and Conquer games as its somewhat RTS, but different.

1. only display players HP when right click. Therefore no way to use flare during night. 2. not sure whats the purpose of the motion detector. It seems that only the detector itself knows about the goblock(if you add detector mod to the flamer, only the flamer will attack and nearby howitzer wont respond to that)

With the iCloud sync, its just unbeatable

The game is challenging at 1st, but as you get rare resources you can upgrade your defenses. The game is all about replay, so if you get stuck, start another. Overall, tons of fun, and the monsters can challenge the best of your defenses. If you have the iPhone version, you can import your experience level and improvements. Well worth the buy!

Good: Nice style of RTS, progressive gameplay, and freestyle defense. The Bads: Multiplayer will only work (as of 1.01) if all the players have the same device (no phone vs computer). Multiplayer chat is fixed so you can only use pre-designated phrases, some of the bots are a little buggy, be careful on multiplayer maps as some of them will cause extreme lag as they are very large. When you press Esc to go to the build menu you have to press the "Resume" button instead of just pressing esc again (a little irritating) and the controls for a Computer need to be mroe properly integrated (aka the press spacebar to go up instead of hovering your mouse over the up/down arrow. Overall a good game that just needs a little work.

Im running the game on a Mac Pro under 10.7.5 using an ATI 5770 card and 6Gig of system memory. The game crashes every time I select a bot. If I go botless, the game crashes as soon as I try to initiate battle. The website has no real support forum and the manufacturers seem unresponsive on Facebook. I spent $10 on this thing, Id like to at least be able to play it. :(

when the round is about to end and you shoot, the game lags out and nothing gets saved. please fix!!!!

This game is fun and changeling but you cant make fortress for co-op mode.

One of the best games ever. Just crashes on Co-op mode. :< Please fix.

The good: Single player is a fun game, with a great combination of genres. There are some minor interface rough spots that come from it being an iOS port, such as buttons lacking shortcuts, or scrolling being non-obvious. I did encounter bugs with controlling the cursor during a build phase that went away after a level which was a little frustrating. However, the game play itself is fun and the design inspiring. The bad: I bought this for the coop angle, but its too broken to use. Getting a match with more than one friend to work is impossible: friends just fail to join the session, or the match never starts if they do. Matches with two people are fun until one person suddenly is "out of sync" or is just disconnected. Its a huge exercise in frustration, since when it works, its great. Foursaken Media, while clearly made of nice folks, dont make any effort to have a support process beyond a catch-all "contact" address, which they dont respond to. Theres no support forum or ticket system or anything. Ive been reporting the problems for weeks, and had to resort to Twitter to get any kind of acknowledgment. Conclusion: Perfectly fine for single player, but avoid for multiplayer. Dont expect support.

I bought this because I really liked the idea of it when I played it on the iPad but it was very difficult to control without a keyboard and a mouse. You cannot change the resolution, so it runs at very low resolution instead of my native 2560x1440. It doesn’t have high end graphics so resolution isn’t a huge issue, but it is very annoying. The game runs very slow, despite the simple graphics on a high end machine. It crashes often when playing it for more than a few minutes. If you have multiple monitors, it gets totally flustred about it eventually causing problems with the game when your mouse gets detected on another screen. Great idea, but too difficult to play as your constantly fighting the issues it presents.

I’m quite happy about this game, however, 9.99 was quite a lot for an app like this. But what really ticked me off is that one week after I bought the game, the price went down to 4.99, half the price of what I paid for!!! I don’t think thats fair. But then again that would just be my case, and life isn’t fair. But overall, great game. Not worth the $10 I paid for, but probably worth 4.99
