Community Insight:
The game is very interesting, but please add Chinese.
We finished this game back in 2022. So now we want to see if we can remember how finished it. Its a fun slow pace game :) thank you for creating this.
Stuck at home all weekend we needed a game. This game starts out pretty challenging, die a couple times learning to make robe survive a few season. Decided to buy it. We found every level to be the same and spent progressively less time on each. We found reaching the summit satisfying though. Sad to see this is the only game this developer has made.
Its a pretty good game but we dont want to have to pay for the other biomes.
Probably the best pixel survival game Ive seen in a long time, challenging but not hard. Its fun and its a great way to get away from the real world . Just an Amazing game.
We really liked this game. Reminded us of Minecraft except you always have shelter and don have to build it. Kept dying quickly but we took it as a fun challenge and we did not give up. It takes a lot for us to sit around and play a full game, this one had us locked in haha. If you dont give up easily play this, its relaxing. We like the colors and graphics too.
This game is amazing but we really want a thirst bar to make it much more hard because people like us like challenging survival games and again it is an amazing game and experience to play your game.
This is one of the best games Ive ever played. It is simple, but really fun. It doesnt take long to beat from mobile game and has really good graphics. They put a lot of work into this game. There is a part that you have to pay but we think that was worth it overall a great game. Highly recommend.
There are a couple things you should fix: 1: when we saw a bear coming in our woodland lake biome, we went to our house so the bear couldnt attack us but we heard some loud growling and the bear still attacked us. We should be able to stay safe in there. 2: we should be able to make our own bullets because we only started out with a few and they ran out so now we have no way to kill a bear.
Can you add controller support to the game on our own on the App Store.
We love this game, we like that theres the potential to die, but there arent things attacking you all the time. Fairly chill. Our only real complaint is that we ran out of things to do. We wish there were more items to craft, or more things to discover. Over all great game but definitely some things could be added.
First of all we just have to say the soundtrack for this game is amazing! And when you find all 7 letters it really pieces the story together as you play and the story is beautiful, and we love unlocking achievements and we found play self having hours of fun getting ever single achievement and have replayed the game multiple times its amazing.
Awesome game but it needs 1. Wolves and wolverines 2. Rain and thunder storms 3. To be able to get sick of break a bone 4. More animal traps and hunting stuff 5. Free biomes 6. A place that you can trade your furs and meat for matches and energy bars and bullets and fishing stuff Thanks for the fun game!!!!!!!! Kid with no name.
We love this game but u should build a book that has things that You dont now how to craft and find things and ya its Great game.
Please add some new biomes like a desert biome or a prairie biome and maybe some sort of horse mount or wagon mount would also be amazing.
We love the adventure and free range of it, its peaceful but also full of action. Just wish there were more ways to learn different crafting recipes, still love it though.
This game is pretty good but we wish that you could get all of the good stuff without paying. Ive grown up always being outside fishing and hunting, so we thought this game would be a walk in memory lane. But then when we found out that to get guns and fishing poles and bows that you had to pay it made us very disappointed, but either way we would recommend this game.
Fun Probably the best survival mobile game though we feel there should be multiple difficulty levels where on higher difficulty weapons can break and the cold is a problem so you can catch diseases.
This game is so cool and as long as you remember to eat food to not perish in the night you eventually figure everything out. We know this game is called on our own but it would be cool to have an online game mode called on our own. Thats all. Great game.
You should add a sandbox and a crafting note book.
This is a really good game and we enjoy playing it but please add a way to get more ammo for the rifle.
We love the game it like a Oregon retro game and has a realistic consep.It is also a easy game that anyone could learn.
Hey man, we really enjoy your game and Im sure many of us can agree that its amazing. It has lots of potential, and we think it could go place if you picked it back up and continued to work on it. If you did that you could increase the price to like 8-10 bucks and youd get some income, ya know? Anyhoo, thank you for your time, have a good one.
Needs difficulty settings added for when we dont have a bunch of time to invest into the game, but still want to enjoy some progress.
Its a good game that has challenges but it needs a restore button because we have spent 10 dollars on this game because we deleted it and we dont want to wheel out any more money to the game.
It needs more guidance for the tutorial and crafting. Its hard to understand how to craft things. But other then that its a really fun game.
10/10 Game. We cant describe a better game idea than this one. We never did purchase the Full Game pack. As a free user of the game we felt there wasnt really much you could do without the pack. If we ever receive enough money for the game, we will definitely buy it.
This game is a blast and we love it but, it does kinda get boring the more u play it. And it is way hard to survive like there should be more Cache boxs, and there needs to be more berries in the third camp spot. And in the fall there is no more berries. So u half to survive on plants. One more thing and we will stop criticizing ur game. It takes forever for u to catch something in ur trap. Like we would put it over a bunny hole and try would catch something or we try to put it in some random spot. Sorry for criticizing ur game it is fun but there needs to be improvement.
Really fun at first, relaxing, and the music is perfect. We wish that there was a zen mode that would not kill you, cabin expansions, more crafting options, crafting guide and easier bow controls. But Im the end we really like this game.
Ao, this is an amazing game. The art is phenomenal, the music and gameplay is good if you are just trying to play a fun, relaxing survival game. But, there are some issues with storage, crafting, and lag. When we go to craft something, fifty percent of the time, it closes the crafting menu, so we have to drop the item, and pick it back up. We would suggest being able to either build storage, or be able to use those boxes you find to store some things in, by dragging the back to camp, or just putting things in them. We also suggest being able to build small boxes, with like, twenty logs. There is also a lot of lag, in game, and loading it, and saving it. Fixing that would help a bunch. Other than that, great game.
We used to love this game until we completed everything possible… We thought we could then move on to other biomes, just to learn that you have buy other biomes. We dont like spending money on games, but we love playing them. If you guys could make some free biomes for people who cant or dont want to buy the other biomes, that would be great. Sorry for complaining but we just would love to play this game again and not be bored with the same biome. Thanks for reading.
No se olviden del pblico en espaol.
So, we like this game, even tho it does get very repetitive. We have one thing tho. We were in our cabin and accidentally dropped something into the black void around the room and it disappeared. We couldnt find it anywhere and now we dont have an axe. Plz fix this.
We like the game but it wont let us get the full game. No prompt for payment comes up.
We really enjoyed this game, and once we wanted to travel it wouldnt let us. We tried everything but it wont work, please help.
This game was fun at first, we bought the pack and played it for a while. Theres a lot of problems with this game too though. First, survival games are supposed to be about exploration and finding food and water and stuff like that. This game has no point in exploration, you can walk upwards for hours and see nothing but trees and bushes, not even a hill! Secondly, you have no health. The bear can literally attack you and you dont even die. You just have a negative effect on you for a few days. We mean, cmon. Thirdly, you cant craft ammo. You can make wimpy arrows for the bow, but not bullets. So essentially you get a gun but you can only shoot it for a certain number of times. The energy part of this game is stupid. Whenever you walk for a while or chop down a tree or fish or something like that you lose energy. Once youre completely out, you magically appear back at your cabin and go to sleep. You can also gain energy back by eating energy bars. You get a few of those at your initial spawn, but you can only gain more by watching ads. Its just dumb. Plus the devs kinda gave up on this game cause the havent updated it in a long time. Im sorry that we spent this whole review criticizing this game, but it seriously needs some work.
We purchased the pack but it didnt work. We tried everything and it went through but wouldnt let us travel. Im furious with this we feel its a scam so fix it please.
Great concept and we love the difficulty of it, having to figure out things to craft is fun too and adds to the survival aspect of like having to figure out your own way in the wilderness blah blah. Buuuuuut then its just boring, theres no point to just repetitively doing the same things w no variance. It doesnt feel finished and we didnt wanna buy the game/other biomes just to see if Id like it more or not get bored of it so quickly.
We havent played a lot of the game we dont think, but enough to get through winter. There should be a way to discover crafting recipes so you dont have to feel like youve cheated by looking online. The map is very very drab. The same kind of landscape with varying patterns. Nothing beyond what you see walking around your cabin. We really wanted to like this game and we kind of do, we guess we just havent really discovered what it takes to take off in the game. We bought the biome pack. We didnt notice any difference in game play. Seems like youve got a good infrastructure there just needs to be more to do, because right now we see two different plants, trees of a few visual variety but do the same thing. 5 or so different animals, a clunky crafting system and very clunky controls on iOS. It just isnt much. Ill try the other biomes if we can but we probably wont be playing much more of this title. We would if there were suggestions or hints. But we really dont have anything to go on. We thought what would be a thing to do in real life in this situation? The landscape never ends and there are no points of interest.Good Luck.
Here are the things we like about this game: -The art style -The concept -The finished parts of the half finished lore were intriguing and we wanted to know more -The way the environment changes with the seasons is a mild challenge that would be great if it was paired with any other challenges in the game -The UI is actually really straightforward if you read through the little one page guide they provide you, despite what some other reviews have said -The crafting aspect (although we did have to look up a lot of crafting recipes, to us that was part of the fun) -The fishing is not too hard, which often irritates us in a lot of other games. Here are the things we dont like about this game: -The $3 upgrade to unlock the other biomes is honestly pretty useless and theres next to no additional content that comes with the other biomes to make it worth $3. Id prefer if they just charged $3 for the game from the start. -The backstory is unfinished and mostly serves as a hollow vessel to deliver crafting recipes youve probably already figured out -Theres a lot of food thats almost not worth having because you cant eat it unless your character is hungry enough. When Im carrying around 12 big game meat Id rather just waste one to restore 2-3 bars of health than wait until our character is on the brink of death -The bear does not hibernate in winter (we are really into bears, this is a niche complaint but it bothered us nonetheless) -The mountain in the final biome is both really easy to get to and to summit. And once youve done that theres no real reason to keep playing, unless you want to use the rifle to kill the bearbut the only thing you get from that is some meat and the ability to craft the bear coat, which you really dont need after youve already gone to the summit. -There are really just no challenges in this game. Like we mentioned the seasons changing is only a very mild challenge, the end game goal of climbing the mountain is super easy, even the bear is easy to avoid and even if you get attacked youll probably survive anyways. Here are some things we think could make the game more interesting: -Just charge $3 for the full game instead of making it seem like it unlocks a ton of crazy content in the new biomes when they honestly dont add that much to the game -Adding wolves or some other aggressor that is both more common to encounter and easier to fend against than the bear. -Move the rifle to camp 3 or to the base camp storage container at camp 4 and require players to equip the bear coat before summiting the mountain. More preparation for summiting the mountain in general would make it feel more challenging -Make fishing accessible in more than just 1 camp -More environmental storytelling for the author of the letters, the only environmental storytelling now are the items left behind in the storage unit, the cairns, and the letters. Maybe an arrow stuck in a tree somewhere, the remains of an old lean-to, just something to elaborate on what the author of the letters was up to while they were there. -Something to do after summiting the mountain would be nice, especially since its so easy to do. Maybe players could build better structures at camps 3 & 4, maybe the letter in the cave shelter could reveal the secret of some legendary wildlife challenges for the player to hunt. We dont know, but this game is really lacking in everything except potential. -Make the bear hibernate during the winter, please.
Fun for like 20 minutes. No real direction so youll just wonder around , crafting was the best part and even then it was just ok. Music was relaxing , graphics were good. Dont think buying the pack would really upgrade the experience.
A bit repetitive. Confusing in the beginning. But overall enjoyable. It would be nice to see some threats such as wolves or maybe bandits or something. We think that maybe a multiplayer mode would be nice aswell. Maybe you could raid someone elses camp and even hunt each other.
Its a good game but sometimes when you use are craft items it uses your resources that you used to do or make something and doesnt put what you wanted to use them for or it doesnt make what you wanted to craft an thats why we deleted the game.
Im playing it and we cant place rabbit traps when we click on it it doesnt enable the trap it just loot the trap in inventory if you create a special button to place and reset the traps its going be good.
Cant pay for the full game because game is horizontally and wont show full keypad to input our info:/.
Why do we have to buy the biomes and can you make it free.
Listen we know a 1 star can really hurt a game we honestly feel bad so we rated 2 stars.game crashes way to often and none of our stuff saved, our brother who also played on his phone had the same problem.game is also broken when we placed traps the fox walked through it and it didnt allow us to do anything past that point please fix.if we have this problem again Ill probably leave a 1 star.please fix it soon.
The game is great just a bit of bug fixes & a map knowing where you walking to or items dropped will be great also controller support ,also one more thing it will be helpful if there was a way to update the graphics a bit but please update the game.
To have it so people have to pay for the full game is kind of absurd but even then what is more weird is that people who are playing the game without actually getting the full game have to deal with the map being boring, not having the ability to know any craft recipes so you dont have the chance to even survive through winter and it obviously gets repetitive and dumb after a while of the same thing of it just not giving you a chance to even survive. It basically just throws you into the game and you have to figure it out all on your own, it does give you a not basic tutorial on how to use items but thats about it. If it had more of a chance to survive and help then Im sure more people would stay on or even give the full game a chance if the free version is not even a little bit good then the bought version wont be either.
Great concept. The tutorials stop after you make bait traps. Nobody wants to play the guessing game for a indie game. We were trying to give benefit of the doubt. We love survival and crafting games but the short time frame to gather supplies, the energy gets depleted too fast. Please implement some upgrades to character development, weapons and cabins. This could be a great game. Id prefer it not get into zombies and such. Please make that stuff an add-on because everyone is doing that and Id prefer a game that kept it real. Some of the ads are a bit buggy too. We had to completely reset. Upgradeable crates are a necessary in the very beginning. Great game. Please add a multiplayer too. Team building and clans help a game grow. Ill will remove our game for now. But we will download a few months from now and hope there is progress. Till then, Safe Travels.
