Minecraft players are manifesting mixed reactions to today’s release of Minecraft - Pocket Edition.
“Works like a dream and feels just like its big brother. Yes, it lacks some features but these will come soon. Worth the money,” Minecraft player Hitch said on a Droid Marketplace review.
But some Minecraft players are disappointed to find out that Minecraft - Pocket Edition does not yet include survival mode.
"For the initial release of the game on the rest of the android devices, this has turned out great. I patiently await the eventual release of survival," one player said on Droid Marketplace review.
Other players have issues with Pocket Edition controls.
An anonymous review on the Android Marketplace read, “Seriously Mojang you just just ****ed the game up with this update... We need the xperia controls back!!”
The review was referring to the controls used on the Xperia version of Minecraft - Pocket Version which came out in August. Some players prefer those controls to the ones on the new version.
Some players are more optimistic than others about the differences between the two games.
“The controls aren’t so responsive, the d-pad’s not so great. But again, this isn’t fully implemented. Give it time and it will be awesome. I have faith,” Minecraft player Barry said on a Droid Marketplace review.
Some players suggest that Mojang release Minecraft on other devices and gaming consoles, but...
“No on the 3DS version. Seeing creepers jump out in 3D would make me never play Minecraft again,” Minecraft player R3Miixmaster commented on a wireless.ign.com article.
There is also the confusion of who has to pay the $6.99 for Pocket Edition and who doesn’t.
“It would be nice if people who bought the game on the computer could get the pocket edition for free,” Minecraft player Gunbros21 commented on a wireless.ign.com article about Pocket Edition.
Other players commented that Minecraft agreed to give all future versions for free to players who had bought Minecraft while it was still in alpha mode, but it is still undetermined how previous owners can get the edition for free, if they can.
