The full version of Build-a-lot 4: Power Source HD is currently free for a limited time on the iOS platform. I’d say that Build-a-lot 4: Power Source HD is overall pretty repetitive. I'm really not sure why I kept on playing. I can see it being a great way to kill time, but then again... What game isn’t?
