Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - easy to learn programming logic concepts - drop an drag wysiwyg type build box - drop and drag logic for coding - cross platform publishing - easy to adapt physics

Cons

  • - huge drain on ram - can’t look at multiple actor logic - very restrictive in what you can build - no built in universal hud layering/device adjustment - doesn’t seem to have capacity to adjust to speeds of different devices so the game play experience across platforms is varied - regularly has glitches when apple or google make changes so it regularly need to catch up so it can actually be used - no 3d capacity. you can do pseudo 3d but at great expense to ram and functionality - fonts don’t scale relative to camera size (eg when using a zoom feature in a game) - the subscription price, especially when you factor in regular glitches with the creator and publishing - very basic layering - no parent/child ability on actors - no decent trial period to try the platform
