From a game entitled Assemble With Care, we had really expected something with a bit more heart. [Issue#338, p.115]

Once again we leave a Nintendo mobile game feeling a little underwhelmed. [Issue#338, p.114]

A genre piece with rare ambition, a mobile game that feels at once tailored to the format yet unusually expansive in its scope. [Issue#338, p.112]
