Reception
Tim Turi of Game Informer thought Fibble's gameplay is straightforward and may be soon be addicting.[5] GamePro Germany's Michael Orth found the concept interesting in principal but criticized game's light content scope and depth.[6] David Oxford of Gamezebo thought the game seemed suitable for younger or unexperienced players and found it to be too easy but still enjoyable.[7] Harry Slater of Pocket Gamer found it to contain a lot of content but the game is not particular innovative.[8] Edge's Nathan Brown criticized Fibble for barely containing the sandbox gameplay element and just the expectedly beautiful visuals element that were both found in previous Crytek games.[9] Chris Schilling of Eurogamer wrote the next month on Fibble; Schilling criticized the points system as "overkill" and the cut-scenes as unnecessary, but concluded it to be a solid new debut.[10]
Legacy
Crytek's next mobile game, The Collectibles, was developed by the same team, but described as a "typical hardcore game".[11]
