Community Insight:
As the game progresses, it gets to the point where you need lots and lots of stone food lumber, etc. At the same time. These people can chop down all the trees and not have enough wood so they just stand there and dont bother getting the stone or whatever else they need. Please fix this in a future update.
Cool game but glitches during crafting about 30% of the time. Wastes a lot of time. All the resources will gather then it wont craft and you have to force quit then the resources are lost on log in.
The game is pretty fun to start, and quite straightforward. You crash-land and are trying to gather resources to be able to escape. However, there are a few issues with how this is executed: – we've been gaming for years, so we're familiar with how a technology tree works. But, you should not need to continue upgrading the tower or radio tower (which attract MORE survivors you'll need to rescue later) in order to upgrade your resource gathering tech. – You are required to build resource storage bins, without which you cannot progress. Those storage bin capacity only increases by 5-10 of each resource with each upgrade, but the cost of structures increases by hundreds or thousands. – You cannot individually control or direct your survivors other than setting them on a build task. They will gather all of the wood for the build, then the stone, then the ore if required. They will empty the storage bins, then move on to wild resources. Some survivors will then begin to refill the storage bins rather than take the resources directly to the build site. Why they don't just finish the build and then refill the storage makes no sense to us at all. Please address this is future updates. – Sometimes, your survivors will pause around the campfire. Usually when they've run out of resources on a build, or a build is complete. Other times they will pause for minutes at a time while others are actively gathering. Is this a design of the game to simulate a "break", or is it a glitch? If the latter, you might want to fix that. – Either way, it's especially frustrating when you've watched a video to speed up progress or invite "extra survivors" to assist, and they stand there for half the time doing nothing. After enough reviews stating that they've been unable to reclaim their purchases if the game crashes, we will not spend any actual money on this game. – Finally, about that "extra survivor" powerup… Pretty deceptive. The image is of a light-skinned person, but those who show up are stereotypical dark-skinned, shirtless, and mowhawked "natives". Not a good look. Might want to do something about that, too.
We actually really enjoy this game, is simple but yet fun to play. Developers need to add a feature that will let the island boys to work even when your off line. Why is it if we are offline nothing gets done. This needs to be fixed. Will rate again as the game improves.
Its a cool game but it needs improvement. Storage capacity is way too low for the amount of resources needed to complete jobs. Whats in your storage is all that can be used when the game isnt open, which doesnt allow anything to get done.. If there is a job the people are working on it needs to keep getting done, even if the app isnt open… Then players can return to a completed job and are able to start a new job. Theres also nothing to do in the game besides watch your people chop down trees or ours stones theres not extra activities or events that you can do. Its gets really boring just staring at the screen waiting for a job to finish.
Game starts okay, and the little animations are nice. But if you watch those ads for the boosts- youre gonna hate this game and never want to recommend it to anyone. You need some bug fixes-because the ads will sometimes stay locked, and we cant exit. Meaning whatever we just spent 30 seconds wasting our life on, just made it so we never want to waste any more time on the game. Ill leave it installed in case the developer fixes the issue. But Im done playing this for now.
The game still has lots of errors where the survivors get stuck completing a task. It has forced ads.
It gives you the chance to remove the ads for a small feewell we paid said fee and Im STILL GETTING ADS. Yea, we want our money back.
DO NOT PURCHASE THE NO ADS OPTION. You still have to watch ads to get anything. It either needs fixed so you dont have to watch them or we need to get our money back.
The best tycoon game in the fricken world.
The ability to zoom in and display what you are currently researching.
Some things Id add are enemies, day/light cycles, and a pause button on upgrading buildings.
So the game misread the data, and said we finished a building when we were only one log away. This led to our people only doin gkk on us thing: fishing. We tried airdrops and hiring new people, but it wouldnt work. Again, not the developers fault, so still 5 stars.
We think you should make it be more ideal like we beat the first island in one day.
Enjoying the game so far, and watching ads for little boosts. Noticed an airdrop has become unusable if we called it before the previous one was empty. Little villagers wont touch it.
Would be nice to be able to move the character yourself (so its not just sitting and waiting).
Freezes on tapping in new survivors.
Excelente aplicacin. Buenas tramas y temas.
Its funny how they make mistakes.
Good game but why is food stored in house but woods stored in storage.
Been playing for just a little bit but noticed that actions dont continue if you leave the app to take a call or use another app. We can see that will be a problem when tasks take much longer. Yall might want to fix that. If it gets too time consuming most folks will quit. Ourselves included. Who wants to sit staring at phone forever.
We agree with another reviewer about little people needing to continue working while out of the game. Even if you have to watch videos to get out of game constructing time. We also noticed if we leave the game after watching multiple videos, we lose all of the resources the plane has dropped. We feel they should be added to the stockpile if the crates are going to disappear each time we leave for a few minutes to answer our phone or messages.
We do really enjoy this game but one thing we would mention to possibly add is the little characters continue to build while not actually on the app. We hate that we actually have to stay in the game to just watch them build for a good 5 mins then have them do it all over again while we just watch. Itd be nice if we could close the app for a bit while they work on that build then we can come back to start another. Something to think about.
A way to prioritize assignments amor detailed upgrade bar and a metal parts storage.
The game itself isnt that bad, we just think making more storages should be an addition for smelted metal and the forged pieces. It would make the game move faster than waiting for the people to smelt the produce it. But overall an amazing time killer to see how people can adapt to the surroundings they have.
Hoping for more to do.. Enemies.. Also AI needs to be massively updated to where theyll multitask and not just focus on one resource at a time. Or let us assign a number of people per task.
Its a little fun cute game, but when we got to building the boats and saving everyone, we dont know if there just isnt a game complete screen or what? But Im sitting looking at our land with no one on it,we had one more left but he took off on the last boat, so Im glitched and unsure what to do. Help lol.
We like the game its a good time killer. But we bought and paid for no ads but yet theres still ads every 2 minutes. Not sure whats going on with that. And we wish you got more people.
So we did the first two parts and they were pretty smooth, when we got to the third area we were building a pickaxe and the stones stopped appearing so it never got finished. We tried closing the game a starting it again but nothing workedsomething broke so ya got to update it.
This is fun until the second level because on the second level u r basically doing the same exact thing but on a different island.Theyre are also sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many ads and Im not being dramatic seriously we mean it you guys could definitely take it down a notch.
The game is good to play for a time passer but the issue we have seen is a lot of bugs where it freezes in game and your characters stop and in game buttons arent working. If they can fix it Id say the game would be even more fun to play.
There are some really annoying bugs and it could use some quality of life improvements, interface and game behavior that would make it more relaxing and a little easier to use. Needs some balancing. No ads costs a bit much. We bought it anyway. Overall its a good concept and could be super addictive if not for these issues.
There is a point in the game where you build the second wood storage, and it should hold 14 wood. Sometimes it will only put in 13, which is NOT the maximum amount. Now when we rebuild it they fill it with 13 and the little guys loop around and never complete the 14th. Attention to detail. Fix it and we will play again.
We only wanted this game because we thought you can move the person. And you wait for the thing you were waiting for which takes FOREVER.
Game has good ideas, could allow to manage characters so not everyone goes after wood at once. Sometimes the characters mess up and gather everything but wont start crafting, you close the app open it again and then they start crafting. Game has potential but needs to be optimized and add more management features.
We enjoy these types of games and believe us when we say, we have over 100 different games on our phone that we have played and enjoy or am currently playing. Biggest issue we have found so far with this is as usual, the ads. Not the worst with ads but still fairly annoying. We understand using ads to speed things up or get boosts or bonuses but when you get ads randomly during nothing, it gets annoying and you lose interest easily. Besides that, its not bad. Ill personally continue trying it for a few more weeks and see how we like it but we know the ads will kill it for some people.
If they just didnt all go chasing after the same tree with their little axes we could give this game another star. Its just annoying to see. The game engine could use a little tuning. Minor annoyances in the user interface like not showing what the current project is and not being able to prioritize tasks.
The game keeps freezing, all the supplies will be reached for the item being crafted yet the characters just keep running around and not finishing. Which forces you to close out the app and restart it which then loses all the progress, which can be very frustrating when you are in the higher levels of the game. Please fix this problem! Thanks.
This game is very fun and we enjoy playing it. However, we paid the $16.99 to get rid of ads and get all rewards for free, and its still making us watch videos for the rewards. Very frustrating.
We have to keep restarting the app because it gets stuck and wont progress on in turn we lose all the extras Ive built up as we went along its annoying and takes the steam from our sails.
Wish you could zoom in and out and move the screen around, itd help a lot, but its still fun.
This game is great so far, but we have a few issues with it. 1. Why does the people have to do the wood first before the stone and the stone before the metal? Why cant we set it where you can put one person for each or whatever you want? (Same with food) 2. The storage for the resources doesnt make sense. Im at level like 4-5 for it and it holds like 40-50 each. When Im getting to the point where the builds need over 1,000. We say make every level get 50 added at least! 3. Why is the cost of the full game so much? We wouldnt mind putting like $8-10 on it sure but $16.99 is a bit much. A mobile game we dont think should be that much, Minecraft is we think $6.99 and that game is HUGE compared to this Overall this is a great fun little game, one of the better ones out there! We love playing it once in awhile and just watch tv. We think it just needs a bit of an update on how everything works and the flow of it.
We enjoy the concept of this game but it would be worth the $16.99 ask for the no ads if this was an idle game. We would like to be able to close the window after assigning them to upgrade something thats going to take a long time and come back to it later with at least some progress made. Just a thought. We dont know how long Ill actually keep it since its not an idle game.
Purchased the stupid $16.99 no adds, all adds are free. But then click to increase speed for 2 minutes and it still makes us watch the add. We want our money back.
This game had a idea a good one too, This idea was horribly executed. This should be a idle game. We dont like just sitting with our device simply open. #idle builder.
Our x2 invites are fun cause one works on gathering food while the other runs off screen and is never seen again. Another fun hiccup is when all your ppl are crafting something, theyve gathered and assembled all of the materials required and look like theyre crafting but no actual crafting is being done. This brings us to our final hiccup; when the stuff above happens all there is for us todo is close and reopen the app which is annoying for the very fact we have to do that. We paid for the overpriced package with no adds and free power ups but we feel the above should get us a reimbursement cause thats just ridiculous.
Thank u for the game we actually enjoy it at the beginning, it hv several issues one of them the repeating at the game and second the upgrading cost is severely high , to upgrade store we need 2000 from 2 deferent materials and we got around 30 extra space crazy cost.
An ok pass the time type of game. The ads are crazy you cant play 3 mins without one popping up.
Game must be active to get anything built.
Do not spend money in this game. You will lose it when the game crashes and you cant restore purchase. You just lose all the crates you have bought even if they have not been deployed. Also you will wait forever for workers to gather materials but then they just stand around and never start crafting. So you have to restart game and then you have to began collecting materials from the beginning, and you you had used crates that you bought, you have lost that money. There is no way to recover the money that was spent just because the game crashes. Developers need to reimburse for such instances. Apple needs to be aware that there is an app that is crashing and causing individuals to lose money and with an ineffective restore purchase button. If this is by design then that is straight up theft. There is no app support from game developers and there is no way to recover money that is lost from crates that you buy because when the game crashes you lose the crates that you bought whether or not they have been deployed or if they are still in your bank its still resets to zero and you were still charge the money.
