    Melbits World is the cutest game that I've ever played. Not only that, it's also impressively challenging and a fantastic co-op experience for up to 4 players. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys local multiplayer with friends.

    Melbits World is a charming puzzle-solver for party-time. With the power of PlayLink, you will overcome obstacles with up to three friends by using cell phones and tablets to control bridges, boxes, barriers, and beyond. While some of obstacles taking advantage of motion controls can be a bit sluggish, this approach of controls means that no one is left out of the party. Melbits World is an all-ages romp of madcap mayhem for all skill levels which places a high priority on player communication.

    Melbits World offers an experience that can be attractive to a family, specially to children. Despite some flaws and although it has no replay value, it represents an interesting option for gatherings and leisure time.

    Melbits World is a cute, fun arcade suitable for parents playing with their children. It offers a pleasant experience that could be improved with more precise controls.

    Its cute world and phone-ready puzzles are perfect for kids around the age of 8, but anyone who is sucked into playing with them will find themselves bored after a few stages. The most puzzle-obsessed of gamers should set their sights on something a bit more complicated and adult.

    Melbits World is a game with great ideas, that can be challenging and complex, but also simple and accessible. It depends on how many people and the type of people you play with, but you’ll definitely have fun with it.

    With the right friends, Melbits World is a cute and clever exercise in collaboration and coordination that offers more than just a gimmicky control system and some sweet presentation but the very young and the jaded old might not get much from it and solo players aren't catered for at all.

    The controls - based on the gyroscope in your phone - don't always work as well as they should, keeping Melbits World from earning a higher score. If you can get past that, however, you'll get a co-operative puzzle experience that will keep the entire family playing for a long time to come.

    Another PS4-only PlayLink game clearly designed for the children audience. Simple puzzles and light platforming for up to four players co-op.

    Melbits World is an interesting and fun party puzzle platformer, but its pacing is just a (mel)bit too slow to encourage repeated or long gameplay sessions.

    Melbits World is a nice attempt at creating a fun, simple puzzle game suited to PlayLink's smartphone functionality. Its visual style is very easy on the eye, while the basic, communication-based gameplay means it's bound to be a good family game. The PlayLink initiative may not have been as popular as Sony may have hoped, but Melbot Studios' title shows that there's plenty left to explore when it comes to smartphone controlled gaming.

The game is gorgeous, super pretty. It does take a second to understand the mechanics, but once it "clicks" you are all set. It's kinda challenging and not a walk in the park, and I don't mean just for children. My daughters picked it up fast and tore through towards the middle of the game, tho. We are 3h in and having a blast. I was not expecting to have so much fun playing Co-Op with them; They're so young!!! (5 and 7). On the negative? The gyroscope moves could use some love or a patch, and that's why I take a couple points off. Those platforms were real nail biters!!… Full Review »

You play it using your phone as a controller. Reasonably priced and ideal to be played with kids and family. I think it can also work in a party setup since there's some laughter involved. Gave it a 9 because Melbits are super adorable and music is great! BTW controls have improved A lot with the last APP update!… Full Review »
