I would give it a 5 for fun to play & controls are great. But, ever since I got a new device, it says I need to purchase it AGAIN to play all levels. An email to the developer did not help.

Love it! Very fun and unique. It looks like sketch up. It's seems rudimentary at first but quickly becomes a difficult yet fun and rewarding experience knowing you've competed the "work" on your own. 👍(played and complete with free play pass trial).

Premium benefits cannot be restored. Just like another review I've seen, I've paid for premium before and even have premium achievements unlocked yet it's asking me to pay for premium levels. So if you pay for premium, don't uninstall this app or you'll lose it.
