Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Another great indie release. This game is an amazing time-killer that contains no ads, is endearingly complex, and is incredibly satisfying to play(beat skinning 100 animals in 50 seconds, we dare you). We are finding ourselves on it multiple times a day, and we cannot get enough. Buy the amazing game or our Sapiens tribe will overrun all of you. No pressure! :).
No ads. Zero. None! No toxic multiplayer chat! No gameplay paywall! No greedy $pop-ups! HOURS of engaging, uninterrupted, relaxing gameplay! Animations feel good! Sounds feel good! Micro transactions are 100% optional! They dont feel like they diminish the gameplay or launch us to endgame where Id get bored! Our hubby and we were lumps on the couch for HOURS, both playing this game, before we decided to buy a few items. The only reason we did? Because we felt the dev deserved it and we wanted to throw money at them for doing a FANTASTIC JOB! Other companies should learn from this! <3.
Would love an update as we love this game, we would love to be able to craft new items do new things but overall love the game.
Such a well designed game that has kept our interest for a long time now. We still have some secrets yet to reveal because we game slower than many others.
Still really fun even years later.
Simple, addicting, and fun crafting RPG.
Came back to the game after 2 years, it still is one of our favorite games till this day.
The game is amazing and we barely seen a part of a game. We got to part after fire where im collecting dirt for pottery, and we keep unlocking new skills.
Check it out, no ads, makes you think, and really fun. We lose track of time playing it.
So this app is pretty different. We thought it was similar to candy crush and games like that just by the look of it but no, it's nothing like that. You craft together things starting out from nothing and build up to something huge. There's missions, choices you have to make that have consequences and there's even those moments where it's like "HOW DID we NOT KNOW THAT". And we gotta say, we enjoy the music while we're playing as well. A lot. Haha. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed. And big tip: DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE TURDS. KEEP YOUR TURDS. TRUST ME.
This game starts out quite simple, but after a few minutes it begins unfolding with hundreds or recipes and tons of skills. It uses the Minion as a creative addition to the idle game genre as well as many other features. Im also shocked that a game of this quality has no ads or necessary IAP (there are a couple but they are easily ignored). All in all, its a charming game with great gameplay.
Please. We know youve move on to colonist.io. You have the best crafting game on mobile by far. We have almost 700 hours played on this game. Over the years, it has needed updates more and more as time goes on. Can we please get some updates or a Dawn of Crating 2? Youd make a killing.
Absolutely fantastic truly beautiful in every aspect (Can we have our tablet now).
This is seriously a great game. Been playing non stop since we bought it a week ago.
This is Rctjee III, with 1,400 energy in sliced bananas only, 100% for both peeled and sliced bananas, 9 MINUTES INTO THE GAME. Amazing game.
Its so addicting and challenging. Please keep updating.
Super fun game! Well designed with unique crafting dynamics. Hours of fun.
We dont usually leave reviews, but we just had to rave about this gem. Its long overdue, since we discovered this game years ago, but better late than never! This game is wonderful. Nearly perfect, in our humble opinion. Obviously, we have a few nitpicks. The town building is a bit tedious and could have been fleshed out a bit. We would have liked a quest journal to remind us of the random pop up quests so we dont have to rely on our shoddy memory. Other than that, the devs should be very proud of their creation. We wish to god there were more games like this out there. Id die a happy woman if we could get our hands on a fantasy version of this game. Or a horror one.
Just started playing again and Im hooked like we were the first time. Love this game.
Really enjoy the game. Doesnt just abandon you to learn, helps you every step of the way.
This game is great man im sad its discontinued lol.
If you just want to craft on your own time. If you are sick of running out of energy in other games and not being able to play. If you are tired of ads popping up at you or not being able to progress without paying money…. Get this game! Give it one day and you will be addicted. It just keeps going. We highly recommend it.
Honest to god, you guys need to update. Or someone should remake it please. Its great. Dont make fun of name please we made it when we were 5.
Fun time waster, never gotten boring yet.
Plenty of depth and engaging gameplay. Highly recommended.
One thing to say. This is Crafter Multiversjee (the 18th generation, starting from Rctjee himself). The game is great! Theres just one problem. We have to move out of our save file and back in again if we want to use containers, recipe book, village, etc. And stuff like that. Also, can you make the Save Kula quest last 3 ?s? Its hard to get 2000 energy without any help. Ideas: -Kasino comes before Serudan -Add a few items from your ideas -we dont know anymore Thanks! Multiversejee.
Love this game. To bad they stopped updating it. We still love playing it!!!!!! Devs please come back.
The game is good our friend told us about it we tried it and now Im addicted it gives us something to do during quarantine.
Really enjoying this game as there are a lot of different combinations of things you can craft. There are also other fun storylines and games along the way.
Very fun kinda confusing at first wish we had more space without paying in beginning of the game but its understandable and you get more space as you play on, fun to play without spending money just gotta mix and match stuff and dont clutter your Inventory to much:).
Ive been enjoying this game a lot over the years, always redownloading it every now and then. We hope they dont take it off the AppStore!! :).
Nice at your own pace grind fest. Exactly what we were looking for.
Ive been obsessed. Theres no timers where youll have to wait for more energy. Just proper resource management and grinding if anything. Ive been playing this every day making a few progressions each day. Love it.
Kinda hard to stop playing even tho its a simple game.
The best idle game Ive played in ages with zero ads or pop ups.
This game is so addictive. We love almost everything about it, however there are a few things that could improve. Number one is that building houses take so much grinding for recourses. Number two is upgrading certain levels to craft better things is very tedious and wasted a lot of recourses as well. Otherwise, amazing job, developers! We fully support & love this game.
We thought this would be a quick game to complete with a nice design, but not only did it have a good storyline and mechanics (the GUI overlap glitch can be fixed by reopening the app), but it is extremely extensive and doesn't focus on grinding too much. The categories really describe it well, and we only made a review until we made the first house (after a restart because we didn't conserve our tools). Amazing game.
The game concept is clever and the progression and reward system is efficient if not increasingly addictive. You always want to spend just another 10 minutes to gain a more complex and powerful recipe. The only improvement we might suggest is a flexible (enable/disable) option or button to allow items to be locked into a specific inventory slot so that it is easier to maintain similar items or item types together as they are automatically moved into and out of the crafting row during recipe crafting. It would reduce the visual confusion from items constantly shifting to different locations in the inventory. Kudos to the design and development team.
Actually surpassingly intricate yet relaxing and fun though slightly annoying random things but more personal than actual game issues.
Still playing this game after many years. We hope it stays maintained for years to come.
Love it really puts your mind to the test.
We have dedicated over 150/hours to this game. We have a hard time putting our phone down every time we open the game up.
This game (we are not joking) just rickrolled us.
We really love this game and we would recommend you get it.
We keep coming back to this game, knowing itd be the end of us.
This game is crazy! There is so much stuff in the game to do and we love the fact its like here figure it out and isnt holding our hand the entire way! Along with side quests, main missions, random events, please for the love of god turn this into a bigger game on console/pc with wounds and sicknesses, because omg with how well this game is with how much is in it, we truly believe for a realistic caveman experience based off of survival you have an actual game of the year winner! We love this game, please anyone who is creative or experimental enough get on board and help gets this company out there for such an impressive game that works and its on mobile and its this good OMG.
Great for just clicking stuff while listening to podcasts.
Pretty good (Can we have our tablet now).
