Amazing Alex also comes with its own level creator, allowing you to build your own masochistic physics conundrum that you can share/inflict on your friends. The level creator is actually exceptionally intuitive, making it easy to hop online and download other people's levels: It's easily one of the high points of Amazing Alex.

The main issue with the game is that it's purely competent without being exceptional or original. The art style is too reminiscent of games already on the App Store that are more intuitive and identifiable. Alex seems like a nice kid, but his world of green pipes, wallpaper, and wooden planks gets old quickly. And while Amazing Alex boasts Rovio's telltale polish and solid gameplay elements, the app maker's creativity and charm are noticeably absent. Still, for the tinkerers out there, amateur level designers and gamers who enjoy feverishly trying to capture every achievement, Amazing Alex is a worthy, solidly-built challenge.
