Can you get back to working on your multiplayer idea please.
This game has got our awoke at mid night playing trying to get more islands and it has save slots and when we die we can load our save slot again right back where we were.
By the way, this is just pocket addition we recommend this game if you like survival and building games also before you go and buy it you can play it on Xbox game pass.
Mobile games for us are very rarely fun, its just not the same as PC games or whatever, however, this game, though being on a phone is so good! The story the mechanics all are top-tier and Im surprised that we dont have to pay to get it. Truly, a 10 out of 10.
So we recently got this game and it was fun :) but its too hard for us so we would like you to add cheats to mobile OR add an easy mode where you start out with better tools and things are cheaper and rarer items show up more commonly. Thanks for the amazing game, and knowing that only one person made this game makes us shocked. Thanks again for the game.
Best game we have played in a while, its level ups are similar to rouge likes but gameplay is more like a factory builder sandbox game also we got completionist on Game Center before Tool Collector and Accessory Collector.
GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME. GREAT GAME.
It is the best game but on other devices you cant get small droids so on options theres a setting where theres small droids add a friend system of where your friends can join your world and others we are 88% on the achivments and 100% islands and stuff.
The pixel graphics are so charming and cute, and the gameplay is addicting as heck. The effects make the game come to life even more than it already felt. Unlocking islands and farming resources really never gets old, as you know that theres something you can unlock, something you can build, somewhere you can explore. Music is great too. We literally cant think of many big flaws for this joy of a a game. Great job, HopFrog.
No complaints. Sometimes diagonals are tough, and targeting on closely packed items is tough, but heat can you do? Its the nature of the beast. Highly recommend a controller for best experience.
We absolutely love this game, we used to play a lot as a kid and still play it to this day. Its honestly very big and has quite the variety of things to do such as build, craft, fight, solve puzzles, collect clothes, etc. The graphics are just perfect and we love that we can play touch screen or with a controller. This game could definitely keep a person busy for awhile, and if you dont feel like playing for long you can always save your world and join back later. It might be because this game is so nostalgic but its really great and would definitely recommend, its worth every penny.
This is literally our favorite game to ever exist. So bright, fun & colorful! We love the customization of your character and the funny dialogues. Not to mention the tools/weapon designs! Super addicting as well! 10/10.
This has been our favorite survival game of all of them (better than minecraft in our opinion), we just want to tell you about the obliterator, or other placing mechanics. So, when you place mini structures like the bed, or the test dummy, you have to face it and can only place it 1 square next to you. Same goes with the Obliterator and when placing landfill, Its even more annoying, because the crosshair for placing it often vanishes or wont let us place it down. We Find it extremely difficult, and would like the building mechanic for mini structures to be like building big structures like the lighthouse. You can drag and actually break/place anything anywhere. The obliterator may be ruined by this, so how about adding an extra button for the obliterator, just for breaking the ground. Just an Idea, man. Thanks, Love the game! :D P.S we made an extra world, deleted it, and when we came back its still there. :P.
Really an amazing game. Its exactly what we wanted.
MINOR BUG DRONES FREEZE UP WHEN COLLECTING FISH FROM FISH TRAPS.
We love the game. Theres two bugs that stand out: 1. When placing landfill, you have to clear the area, or the landfill placement marker will not show up. (Try to place next to a bridge, doesnt work) 2. You can get stuck on a corner in the void where you cant move or jump. This stops the void run, which is frustrating if its on lvl 30+.
Ive played many games out there and a very small amount have peaked our interest but this one is astounding! The pixelated designs and the core gameplay are great getting closer to the ending it does get a little grindy. The games amazing and totally worth it.
We appreciate that there are no ads. Theres no hidden ads either – no popups asking you to watch an ad to double coins or resources. We can play the game uninterrupted. It took us a second to figure out what to do in the game but once we got started crafting and playing around we learned what we needed to do.
We love this game a lot, but our only problem is that you cant destroy a portal once its been placed. Cause of where we placed it we cant get the cover the whole map achievement. Is there any way to fix that.
Great port from switch. Definitely worth it.
Pay once and play all you want in a very creative and addicting world. We miss games like this and we are glad we found this one. It just doesnt seem to stop evolving the more we play. AWESOME JOB.
Island bug is a bug that causes islands to disappear. It is a save file corruption that causes islands to disappear and non-buyable. We have ideas for a fix to this. If island x = false: check if island bought Island bought= true : create island x if island x= true: check if island bought island bought=false: make island buyable.
Forager is a amazing game that is very entertaining ,but its a very short game we beat it with all advancements on our first try and 30 hours and it really needs a new update with more content ,but overall its we heat game.
We had a free download on our Ps4. Seemed cool. Got it and started playing it and now we cant stop. Im obsessed, so much so we bought it on our phone so we could play anywhere, anytime! We dont usually leave reviews but this one deserves it! SO. MUCH. FUN.
The dad of the creator got sick and died and before he died he said follow youre dreams and he did also the game is so addicting 5/5.
Ok first off when you get mid game theres slot machine aka gambling and uh yeah thats what you do with it so yeah but theres a addictive probelm giving your hearts for stuff in the demon arew.
We really like the game but we want it to be multiplayer.
Great game love pls make a sequel.
We had Forager For (over a year) and we love the game :) Its A good game that you Forge For Iron Gold and Id Really Recommend this game.
This game is amazing and extremely addictive but the last update was 1y ago also add multiplayer.
We love this game but we've beaten the whole game thought so could you add some new things please.
You should add cool new stuff like more Islands and more quest and a a rocket to space so players can collect moon rocks but you need a helmet and a new item like Metal and use that make new stuff like the rocket and new space glass and how you craft it is by getting glass and how you make that is by just 20x glass and you use the glass for the rocket and the helmet. You can use the moon rocks to craft upgrades to you tools. You will need a launch pad to get to the moon and how to craft is well you need metal and electrical brakets and you make those by the new facility Ill talk about that later but you need electrons that we have in game and you will need uranium. Now the rocket, you craft it by electrical brackets and space glass and More idk though but the facility we use it for the rocket and thats all we got for now but we love you game.
Reasons .cute art style .cool plot and story .cute customization options for character .a good time killer.
Its a good game but our friend and us were hopping for multiplayer can you please try to make multiplayer.
Were wanna update more things many and need full everything return forager will add more things many and infinity world.
We know we know it costs 8 dollars or something we forgot but the moneys worth it.in the game theres really cool bosses to fight some are easy some are hard theres even speedrun mode if you are a speedrunner buy this game. No seriously.
We never leave any reviews whatsoever but this game seemed to surprise us! The game controls are simple and easy to use, we've spent hour's playing this game even had all-nighters because it's so addicting!! The game has no tutorial but quite frankly it's fast paced and easy to learn once you get the hang of the build and inventory selection. We would highly recommend this game to those who are seeking a challenge and a way to have fun building/ exploring new skills as you level up. If we had to wish for something to be add on to this game it would have to be CO-OP or LAN Multiplayer since the game is only available on SOLO. Everything aside this is a great game 5/5.
Why is this so addicting? We cant stop playing it. We dont even understand why Im playing it. We dont even what the objective is. We just keep leveling up and building new things. Its so gratifying to whack the slimes and buy new islands. We have now bought this on our phone and our switch. Ugh. Got up at 5am just so we could level up some more before work. We love the little Zelda tune that plays when you get a key piece of equipment. We need more equipment. Why did this developer do this to us? You please make more updates. What other random pets can you get? We got the giraffe. Its too cute.
This has got to be one of the most well crafted addictive games you can possibly play on your phone. We bought this game when it just came out on our computer and pulled an over nighter at ended up playing it for 16 hours straight. We ended up putting it down for fear of being completely consumed by this game. Now that we have it on our phone we finally beat it and can safely say we enjoyed the entire experience from start to finish. 10/10.
Good if you want to just chill and relax we are surprised that it got a mobile port because its usually games like this have bad mobile like minecraft pocket edition only kids play minecraft pocket edition because its only what they can play because they usually dont have a pc but this game this game is so good and its not filled with micro transactions so its a good game.
Please please add multiplayer try to fix the. Bugs just add multiplayer please.
We could sing the praise of this game for a while, but Ill keep it short (thats actually a lie). This game has become one of our favorites over the past few months Ive had it, we have about 50 hours in it and am working towards all of the achievements. (96/103 baybe) Once we finish we plan on playing the one island game mode. (we do not plan on doing a hardcore though, it stresses us out) If youve ever wanted an idle game with actual substance and effort put into it, than this is exactly what you want :) Cute and fun puzzles which we definitely didnt cheat on, mass destruction without any permanent damage, filling in the entire island with dirt, fetch quests, adorable art, characters with like 5 lines that you still end up loving, other stuff. You dont have to be good at fighting to progress either, although it probably helps. We wouldnt know :) As a side note though, on a phone or tablet like this (not sure about pc or other versions of the game), dont plan on trying to make anything nice using fences, they are the most impossible things to place. We actually originally came here just to say that, but we noticed the last update was a year ago, so we assume any request or suggestion we make will be lost to the sands of time.
We love Forager! We have it on our PC and we decided to buy it on our phone as well because its super fun and a great way to kill time. This port is great, except for the controls. We know that there are problems placing things like landfills and floor/road blocks in the console ports and its prevalent here as well. The ability to set up a dedicated d-pad with transparency on the left side of the screen would improve handling SO much, we dont mind having to use the right side of the screen to aim the bow, but we wish we didnt have so many instances where Im trying to shoot something and end up dying because we kept walking into a corner. Foragers a lovely game and if youre thinking of picking it up, you definitely should! We just hope that the mobile port gets some control updates ;w;.
We wasnt so sure at first but we liked the art style and the overall look of the game so we just jumped in and bought it without looking it up or anything. Its a really good game and we have already spent at least 4 hours on it. The art style reminds us of old flash games we would play during school or at home so that was a huge reason we were interested, and honestly we didnt expect a whole lot, we thought it was going to be just that- like an old flash game you would play when you were 10, but theres honestly a lot to do and keep you busy. Leveling up isnt so hard in this game and it progresses at a nice pace (we dont think its too slow and its not too fast). As of writing this we think im level 22. Stuff slowly unlocks with each level and its not too overwhelming either. Im not good at reviews but we think if you have some time to kill and like the cute pixel art, + like a bit of farming and the idea of getting to unlock new stuff at each level itll be a game for you that can be picked up and put down and easily returned to anytime.
So this is awsome and we recommend it and we know you will like it and you will love it and we hope you will get it.
Love the terraria reference and the hollow knight reference aswell.
Forager is a phenomenal game and we love it. One frustrating issue we were having is the game save. One file we had played 6 hours on it with no issues at all, however Ive noticed a major saving issue. Any progress we made in a good chunk of time would be lost and the game would restore it to whatever previous save it registered. So for awhile we were making progress in the game for it to be reset where we were when we played it at the 6 hour mark. Its very strange because the game still registered the file play time and we had allocated 10-12 hours total played even though all progress we made wasnt saved. We went into the settings/menu and exited the game so it took us to the Home Screen of the game. Other than this major issue we encountered with some minor bugs, this game is amazing. Im genuinely surprised that the developers made this game compatible for iOS and it runs fairly smooth.
Maybe you could add an item where it keeps away certain enemies but only one at a time.
