  Melbits World is, by far, one of the cutest puzzle-platformers you will play through. Utilizing that charm, cuteness, and design, this title offers something I could see families playing through together, but the lack of single player and replayability hurt the overall package.

  Overall, this game has the look of a wonderful, fun, puzzle game for kids but, in reality, it is near impossible for two adults to play without becoming frustrated. Due to occasional glitches and frustrating gameplay, we don’t recommend this game at all. It’s super frustrating for adults to play, let alone the kids it advertises to.

  Melbits World doesn’t use unique phone features enough to justify being part of the PlayLink initiative in the same way that Knowledge is Power or That’s You! do. It’s well built and entertaining enough, but falls short of being the kind of thing that could help really define PlayLink. Instead it proves that Sony’s phones-as-a-controller concept still has some wrinkles to be ironed it.

  Melbits World isn’t entirely bad, but it does poorly target its demographic and there was little to no need for it to be a PlayLink title. I honestly haven’t thought about PlayLink since Hidden Agenda dropped at the end of 2017. And after playing Melbits World, ignorance may have been bliss.

  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 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.
