## Rube Works Reviews in United States

### ***** "This game might be made by god"
Really good
-- timmy cornia timothy james jr, 2023-08-23

### ***-- "Objects float off the screen"
Sometimes when you place an object, it floats off the screen and can’t be used until you reset the entire level. This is annoying and makes some levels very hard to play.
-- Mushi67, 2022-12-17

### *---- "Runs like garbage"
Game is slow and laggy. Playing on an iPhone 13 and none of the gameplay is smooth. Do not buy.
-- Zmaofhevakxkdbshakebd, 2022-05-23

### **--- "Many interface issues"
I loved Incredible Machine from many years ago.   Well this is not it, but I see it might be fun for younger people.   The UI is a problem with items disappearing into the “ceiling”, others getting “stuck” together.    When these things happen, which is often, then only option is to reset and start over.    A couple of free puzzles would be good to try before deciding to spend money, which I do regret.
-- Czarina6, 2021-05-03

### ****- "Fun game but touch function to move pieces needs updating and it crashes"
Lot of fun to see the rube goldbergs come to life. Needs a few fixes though
-- gnasett, 2019-10-24

### ***** "game breaking bug"
this game is super fun but is unusable on iPhone X models due to the inventory overlapping the bottom of the screen. when you try to take an item out of your inventory the phone thinks you are swiping home or between apps. please fix! this breaks the game on level 7.
-- GoatBPM, 2019-04-09

### ***-- "Meh"
Kind of entertaining but honestly not enough levels and control of the devices
-- postdataec, 2019-01-04

### ***-- "Sadly not enough levels!!"
Great game and addictively fun, but really... only 18 levels? I could not give it more than three stars for that reason. Odd a developer released this game over 4 years ago and still no new levels. The game is NOT worth more than $.99 and I sadly paid $2.99 for this.
-- Bobsickle73, 2018-07-15

### ***** "Great for classrooms!"
This app has been a favorite in my classroom. We used it to learn about the physics of Rube Goldberg machines, including the basics of work and force, Newton's Laws of Motion, and simple machines. Our students will be building their own Rube Goldberg machine based on their own design so it was great to get some experience building and experimenting with the machines on this app. They are always asking to play, it's truly an engaging, fun, educational experience!
-- VT School, 2016-10-04

### ***** "BEST APP EVER GET IT!!!!!"
It is the best app ever invented, this app is actually perfect for me because we are learning about Rube Goldberg in school and this app is about Rube Goldberg
-- Underwood9, 2016-04-16
