    A fantastic puzzle game akin to Lemmings! Very polished! The level design and screen tipping elements add a lot of value, too. For 20 bucks, you can't go wrong!

    A cute puzzler with about 90 unlockable Nintendo made levels. These levels range from relatively easy to pretty challenging so it has a nice difficulty curve. The real reason to get this game (aside from the price/ cross-buy) is the level sharing. Already have played many user created levels and created some of my own. Truly a blast!!

    This game is really clever! I love the infinite possibilities with the sharing of levels - this gives it a perfect score for replayability! Reminds me of Pushmo with all the possibilities for unique ideas. The tipping feature is a nice touch - I think Nintendo should do some sort of contest where the person who gets the most "tipping stars" receives a job offer to work on their nextThis game is really clever!

Love the cross-play and that this can be portable or in my living room - please include this in the future as well! 10/10 Well done again, Nintendo!… Expand

    Tipping Stars may not live up to the standards of Nintendo’s all-time classics, but it’s certainly an above-average puzzle game. If the core gameplay gets its hooks in, it can be difficult to pull yourself away.

    What would otherwise be a pretty bog standard platform game is elevated by the workshop option. [Issue#159, p.109]

    Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is a good new game in the series. Nothing more, nothing less.
