Fun Game
This game is a lot more fun than I expected it to be.
While some may have a problem with it, I think the tongue in cheek attitude about being God is witty and funny. Those who might be concerned that this game is against God or religion in some way, fear not! This game does not insult or shame God or his believers. If anything, it pokes some fun at it all, which is kind of needed in religion sometimes. In the famous words, "why so serious?" Who doesnt like a bit of light hearted fun?
Putting aside subject matter, the game addicting. Those builders get fast, and unless you use your abilities wisely, the game will be over before you know it. This is another one of those great time-passing games.
If its still free, download it! If not, but youre willing to spare some small change, get it. Itll pass the time and you might enjoy being in the shoes of the almighty and powerful one.

Things that need improving:
- Scoreboard: Id love an easy way to view my high scores compared to others. I noticed my high score at the end of a game, but couldnt find a way to return to the score board from the main menu.
- Game Center: Integration with Game Center is pointless right now. My in-game achievements dont translate to it. And my gamer name is "-". I suspect this is because of the strong leniency toward OpenFeint, which I havent enabled, nor do I ever use. If Game Center is an option, use it equally with OpenFeint or remove the option all together.
- Controls: Great use of swipe gestures! The only problem with controls is that I sometimes miss my targets. Ive got a thumb 4x the size of my target. At this point, Im only hitting my targets 1 out of 4 times. The controls for the lighting also seem a bit off. I strike lightning at the third level, yet it hits the second level, leaving those on the third level safe to continue climbing. Great game mechanics. Just make the controls work better now!
