On the pixel art story, you only give 500 mana even though it took long to trace the drawing, the rest of the stories cost real money and a impossible amount of mana, watching an ad doesn’t work at all, so please stop making everything expensive, we are NOT walking wallets for you to take, we are real human players, so please stop putting everything behind a paywall, real money or mana just stop it, treat us like humans, not walking moneybags. -- ｛♥︎～「Yael」～♥︎｝, 2025-08-24 ### *---- "It is stuck" It wont work the starting UI is stuck sideways and chatGPT said that is because im running it on a modern IOS device and the IOS is not supported with the game. Final summary: dont get unless on an older device. -- Beedrixthe5th, 2025-07-28 ### ****- "To glitchy" Keep zooming in it’s annoying I have to turn my phone left and right really fast overall pretty fun -- Poloson4, 2025-07-28 ### *---- "Glitch" The screen glitches every time I open it can even play -- Oko23-, 2025-07-28 ### *---- "Nope." No longer functions or displays the full screen on opening, ipad or iphone. This was one of my first games and a favorite for many years, but appears it is no longer maintained by the developers. So long, old friend. -- Cygnusater, 2025-07-23 ### ***-- "Alright" Played this game when I was 10 I’m 20 now same enjoyment out of it but it seems to crash anytime I’m playing to long -- 56789kh, 2025-07-22 ### *---- "They need to fix it" This is my childhood favorite going on today until the time that the glitch happen where you zoom in where you can’t see anything please fix this developers I know you guys don’t work on it that much but please just fix this one thing I’m begging you k bye -- Joshurak, 2025-07-13 ### *---- "don’t get this game :(" this used to be one of my favorite games but ended up glitching out my tablet when it was little i tried to give it a go again and it only worked on half of my screen barely it’s upsetting they’ve yet to fix this bug :/ -- olivebeanss, 2025-07-09 ### *---- "Literally can’t play the game" The game has to be fixed. I remember this game as a child but it’s literally unplayable due to a bug that zooms in to the loading screen you can’t even start to play very frustrating. Please we will all change our reviews when you fix the game! -- Meeko9217, 2025-07-02 ### ***** "I have officially quitted the sandbox for real this time" Sorry guys but its time for me to quit the sandbox (for real this time) the reason why I’m quitting is because of these reasons 1.My storage ran out 2.I lost interest to this app 3.it is pretty much dead like the other app called tynker Also before i go I just wanna tell you that I’m still going to continue the glitchbox but it will be in another app and will get a reboot So to everyone who has supported me ty I really appreciate it And if I ever decide to reinstall it then that means that I am going to come back to this app so yeah Ty for seeing this and goodbye -- TrainSimmer2020, 2025-06-20 [View all The Sandbox reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The Sandbox In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Small Mana Pack | $1.99 | | Medium Mana Pack | $2.99 | | Humans Campaign | $0.99 | | Big Mana Pack | $5.99 | | Robot Attack Campaign | $0.99 | | Zombie Attack Campaign | $0.99 | | All Campaigns Pack | $9.99 | | All 30 Basic Elements Pack | $3.99 | | All Elements Pack | $9.99 | | Brainiac Campaign | $0.99 | ## The Sandbox Discovered Keywords -
