Community Insight:
We stayed in the water for 5 minutes and the shark never came! In fact we havent seen the shark at all! Also we started on a massive raft house thing why cant we just start on a little raft.
Its good we had it for almost one year! Its except the shark doesnt jump out of the water and it very rarely bites the planks and we killed a shark and it did not come back (thank you developers!) but its great with the resources and how to create we like that it has no ads here are good things about it, . Realistic . No ads (maybe! We forgot! Sorry!) . Uhm. Its good? Haha! It is good! What it could need, . Maybe a pet cat (or dog) maybe one time for a free to choose reward! Maybe.. . Change from boy to girl . One more, idk! One someone else wants! Ok so one time can u do this? We would really appreciate it, GOOD GAME PLS RESPOND DEVELOPERS we ALSO NEED HELP ABOUT GLITCHES! If you could respond no developers have ever responded to us so pls fix/ add this! Bye ! We luv the game.
Overall we enjoy the game. Havent seen a shark yet tho. Even got into the water and swam around for a while and nothing happened haha.
Oceanborn is an amazing game! But there some things we think YOU should add! One: backpacks, backpacks can be useful for more storage. Second: running. The player can run by holding a running button! Lastly islands. Please add island with palm trees and wild hogs and raft flag to steer the raft! That all! Hopefully you make this in an update.
We think this game is amazing but there are a few things you need to work on first you need to add island to it. We can playing it for about a week now and we havent seen a single island next we think you should make the things look more realistic thats the kind we dont look like real things, but all in all its a great game and we recommend you download it theyre no ads and its free to play.
We really liked the older version it was way better and the barrels do give as much anymore.
This game is great but THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN BE ANNOYING (sorry we had caps lock on). WHENEVER we GET IN THE WATER THE SHARK COMES TO ME AND BITES ME BUT WHENEVER we TRY TO GET OUT OF THE WATER IT KEEPS ME IN THE WATER UNTIL we LOSE BASICALLY HALF OF MY HEALTH . Also the shark was biting a board when we were fishing then the game just crashed the moment we fell in the water. Also we have a suggestion for your next update, you should add a crafting table so you can craft things that require more resources (we would love to see that added ) this game is great and all but we have another request it might be a lot but it would be fun to have, ISLANDS. The reason why we need those is because everyones been asking for these and you could collect resources like different seeds or different trees or cows you could kill to get meat. You could also live on one to get away from sharks but there still would be enemies like, wild hogs, snakes, and spiders. We REALLY enjoy this game and would also like to see more.
We found a way to make metal with a crusher. You should be able to find an abandoned oil rig where the miners ran out of oil. Now, go down to get stone which you can then crush to make metal. The other reviews suggestions are correct. Yes, you should be able to live on an island. It should be rare to find, easy to live on, and there should be no other inhabitants. Second, it says that you landed in the ocean after a plane crash and were the sole survivor. It would be nice to be able to find other random survivors of other accidents in the game. CPU players would be fun too – have them float up in a barrell so they arent eaten by sharks. For multiplayer – It would be good to be able to friend other players whom you know in real life. Making a way for them to spawn on your raft if you invite them. Ruins of other cities would also be cool to find. You should be able to destroy structures that youve already created. If modifications are wanted, or mistakes were made, its hard to redo anything now. A pulley, door, and a railings would be great to add, too. Otherwise, this game is amazing! For other players reading this, if you lose your progress, we know why. You need to press the lined button on the top right corner, then save game, otherwise your progress will all be lost. To the devs – this game is great, dont give up on it! The only reason other players are fussing is because of Raft Survival Ocean Nomad. This game is way better, imo. Im sure if more people understood it, theyd have a lot more fun. Dont give up on this game, its amazing.
We remember playing this when we were younger we had a lot of fun but theres nothing new? Would love to see more items & features.
OK well like we mean you lose food and water so quickly Im like please freezing water thats why we deleted.This game so we would really like to get it back soon so can you please fix it please because our brother and we might want to play this later in life and can you also make this multiplayer so us and our brother can play thank you and. Keep making great games.
Its a nice survival game, while we cant get raft we can play this instead. Just a few bugs, but theyre not actually bad. This is something that can pass for some people.
1:ANIMALS.If You Got Bored You Could Go To Them And Milk Them And Feed Them And Pet Them.You Could Find Them On Islands. 2:Driving The Boat.If You Added This Thanks.But If You Could Add A Sail And Wheel That Would Be Great. 3:Better Nets. If You Could Fix Those That Would Be Great Too. Right Now our Net Is Just An Open Floor. Its An Amazing Game But If You Added These It Could Be Better. But Still, Great Game.
- Please add more items and reasons to play the game like add a research table. 2. Make it Multiplayer! We want to play with our friends so please make it up to four players. 3. Add weapons to kill The shark and get lots of food. 4. Islands. In the game your raft doesnt move anywhere and there are no islands to go and anchor your raft at. 5. More animals. If you add islands we would like you to add animals and some hostile ones to add more variety.
We liked this game alot but heres a glitch that we accidentally found its when you use the hook and hook some random place it gives you a ton of barrel loot its inf so fix it.Thanks.
Pls add islands a motor and a sail and more builds.
Game is a bit Buggy but overall is a fun game to play, especially because raft isnt out on mobile. Works fine for it purpose and good dedication.
Well, the reason we gave u 2 star is because we cant grad anything and we HATE that and how much money u have to pay for stuff, but other than that its pretty good.
This is annoying it deleted EVERYTHING we put down.
First of all this game needs better graphics it does not look real at all secondYou should just be able to type something in your inventory and then it goes to your bar of items third it was hard for us to play it at first but when we learned how to it was fun for a tiny bit of time then it got really boring so this game really needs to be updated. PS Procat06 Thank you for reading this Why are you still reading Stop reading Theres no more Stop.
Sergey Kizima we freaking hate your games dimwits.
Why do these exist just play the original on computer.
We tbh really love this game, not just because it is actually different from others but that it is both free, and there are no ads. Thanks game dev this one is the best and thanks for no ads :).
First of all, this game is awesome. And also we found a awesome glitch, it was like our grappler was stuck underwater and we kept trying to get it back and every time we kept getting resources. We like it but please fix this. Also please update this game. Sincerely, us please write back.
So we can't get water god just ban water.
We play this all day. Sometimes it may be hard but that makes it become a fun challenge. You dont have to pay for things unless you want more coins to buy items you need we dont like doing that. It is way more fun to craft items by yourself. This is a awesome game.
This game is very fun but it is a little hard to get scrap and it is very glitchy but overall it is a very good game.
It needs better graphics because it looks poorly it needs to be updated even more. And we need something that looks better than ocean nomad you can do this.
Id give it a 3 1/2 but we rounded up. Its not a HORRIBLE game theres just seemingly nothing to do besides build aimlessly, unlike other version by other creators. Unless Im missing something its just dull after an hour. Its like oookaay… Built everything we can… Now what.
Iove. It but could ad more but it is prite good.
We move way two fast and fall of but otherwise great game.
This game is good and all but we just have 5 suggestions our first is to add a wooden net that you place on the floor and supplies will go in it until its full to collect the second is to make fishing easier we hardly can catch a fish HARDLY so please make it easier our this is if you could add islands with things and MORE food on it but to get to them add a paddle and sail and EVEN A MOTOR to make it there but to stay you need a anchor now our 4th is a paint brush so on the island there are flowers and you can collect them and use the with water to make dye for the brush and you can paint walls and floors and more btw add a computer with the island to make it easier to find them by showing the location of you and the island forgot to mention it and finally please please please add animals to lead and take them to your boat with a leash and a pen to keep them thx hope you do soo Ill give 5star and add amazing post if so if not Im downloading a different raft.
Ive been having fun with it, and we hope they add more stuff! Id love to be able to move stuff once we put it down or switch out the two different styles of raft. It could use a tutorial at first (we might just be slow because Ive never played another raft game) but after an hour or so, it becomes more of a raft builder and less survival. But Ive been having a lot of fun building the craziest raft we can.
You should add multiplayer our friend has the game and we want to play together please add multiplayer for us all.
We like the textures but you cant get coins for free and the shark just goes to the other side of the map and you should be able to sleep in the beds and add a spear so we can kill the shark.
Its fine but it really needs a tutorial and maybe some hints in the game and maybe some more detail in the planks that you stand on like add some ropes to hold it together so the game looks more detailed and other than that it is a good game not much adds not much glitches so thats all.
Overall its a very pretty game graphically. It is fun. However there are a few things that need to be fixed. It needs a tutorial in the beginning. The fishing needs to be fixed. We spent an hour fishing and only caught one fish. There was no explanation for what we were doing so it was pretty much hit or miss. The strike is to quit tugs twice and thats it. Its over before you even realize what happened. Im constantly picking things up and moving them in spite of the fact that thats not what we want to do. The speargun also needs an overhaul. Or maybe its the way things are randomly flying around the screen. Either way its a pain to actually catch things with the spear gun. The nets are a good idea. But they dont catch nearly as much as they should. The amount of stuff that just goes right under the boat is ridiculous.
We feel like this could be a fun game but there is nothing that shows you the controls and stuff. We try to pick up the things that float by but nothing happens.
We like the game overall but we havent figured out how to make the raft bigger and that bothers us a lot.
NEED the ability to move objects that are already placed. And be able to destroy or remove placed objects. Need more items to build. We are bored after a few hours.
This is an overall good game! But thee is problem. It needs. A tutorial. We didnt know how to use ANYTHING except for the hook and building tool.
Great game but the hook is really hard to use. Also, its practically impossible to get items since they float around way too fast. Please fix.
Its fun but we wish you could move stuff better and we put walls up on accident and now we cant get our chests and we had a lot of good stuff in them and we wish the shark would try to bite the raft so it is more challenging and that you could get updates in stuff the fuller you play it its still fun and we wish that there were islands you could get stuff from and we were disappointed that the raft doesnt move so you can sail or have storms and our friend and we play it but we wish she could play with us at our raft , sorry if this was a lot to ask.
Im constantly picking things up on accident. It needs to be harder to pick things up and move them. Also add autosave! Theres been 3 times ive either accidentally left the game or our phone died and we lost all our hard work.
Too many glitches and no instructions.
Great game, spent money, no save, no items in our inventory that reflects the money we spent on the game. No way to restore purchases. Very upsetting because we would have spent more money. :((.
COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME how to put water in the purifier and how to grill and how to start a fire and how to plant seeds? Ive had this game for awhile and we dont know how to do a thing WHY IS THERE NO TUTORIAL.
Dont download this fake game go on steam and get the good real raft.
This game is good but why cant we purify our water and cook are you going to fix that for android just fix its just the worst problem Ive ever had and we had lots of goodies on us and we dont want to die already our &&& just fix it.
