Community Insight:
Stage 1. Completed the blue flower request and numerous in day games have passed, still no boomerang recipe. Lvl 50 with 70% book completed.
Ive played this game countless times and have always beaten it. Yesterday we start playing it and Im very fast at it, well it didnt give us any bottles that come on shore to get receipts. Im 70% done with the book already in less than 48 hours. Help.
Please make a Survival Island 3.
Such a good game all around, and its great at passing time. Its a short review but nothing can beat this game (at least mobile games cant).
The controls are simple and the gameplay is fun. We like the art style.
Tyfffffggghhuiuuuddd sohgymmnn.
Stage 1 is awesome but theres a bug in stage two where we cant break the broken clock.
We like this adventure game. It is challenging. We beat the game.
A top down 8 bit classic survival game that you can play offline! We love this little game! No ads no micro transactions! Just a good fun little game that you can enjoy on the go! Enjoy fishing, hunting, exploring secrets, finding what you need to survive and thrive on a deserted island! No gimmicks! The crafting system is deep and rewarding! Satisfying to play! Ive played for many hours and still find new things to discover! We highly recommend this game to serious gamers on the go.
Can u play this game with a Bluetooth keyboard.
We LOVED this game. When will you make part 3.
We want to play this game, but we cant due to the flashing from the lightning. Im epileptic. There was no flash warning. It would be great if there was an option in the settings to turn flashing off, thanks. <3.
We like the game but having to study the item first before making it can be time consuming when gotta study the item for 30 minutes then make it for 30 minutes. We like the game gives u tips on the next step. The Moon stuff can be time consuming to get.
Loved playing this game a few years ago and loved coming back to it. Its so comforting.
We love pixel style/8-bit games because they give off a vibe and show to be good from the start. This game is not like one of those badly drawn add simulator games. It is a new way of choose your own path and we would height recommend it to everyone. One con though. After you get passed 70% progress seems to slow. Maybe add some sort of side quest.
Good game its fun and not hard, well actually it is hard but its fun and challenging WARNING IF YOU ARE A PLAYER AND READING THIS AND DO NOT WANT SPOILERS THEN DO NOT CONTINUE READING Although it has a few issues. 1. If you use a bonus potion during a thunderstorm the visual stops but the audio continues. Ideas 1. If you are evaporating water in the desert in the sun it should be faster Note: we are surprised you made a extremely good pixel game.
So the game is amazing grinding for resources is fine and all but we are having a problem with the crab stage 2 as far as we know it only has one spawn and it doesnt have the fastest regeneration time Im trying to gather for fertilizer but the crab spawns are so stubborn we wish their was more to craft or small quests to fill the gaps like waiting for the bottles etc we had the issue prior with using best bait and getting one star catches but Im not too worried about that the equipping of tools like from shaprend knife to butterfli net and the time for sprint to kick in kinda slow us down it would be cool if you could remove tree stumps to access new areas but then their would be less trees it would be cool if they spawned near by but the game is pretty cool and we would love to see more.
The art is amazing, and we loved collecting and finishing the books in both games (with the help of the Internet). However, when we watched ads to enter the raffle, the raffle wheel did not show in Stage 2 for us when it did in Stage 1. Also, our mini coconut despawned in Stage 2 when we accidentally left the map. Other than that, its a great game, just Google whatever youre stuck on, sometimes things arent as intuitive as youd like.
There is no way to complete this game without searching for answers on the internet. For instance, when you find all of the items in the game. A congratulations screen comes up with a pile of loot and loot falling like confetti. When you exit this screen a treasure chest floats to the beach. You then pick up the chest go to your inventory to find that its locked. Wheres the key? There are no clues to lead you to it. It turns out. On the congratulations screen theres a letter in the pile you have to tap on. The letter is now added to your inventory. This is unlike any of the regular game mechanics so finding this seems unlikely. So you open the letter it says we dont get it. What? We dont either. More research tells us that theres a potion that falls with the confetti on the congratulations screen. Tap that and its added to your inventory. You pour that on the letter and it turns into a recipe for a mysterious engine. The key for the chest is under a rock that we pushed 10 times already and there was nothing under it. Nothing ties the the key to the rock except for research done on the internet. And then you have to fish for a screw driver. That only spawn at night on another island. What leads you to that? Nothing except research on the internet. And it goes on and on as you find the ingredients for the mysterious engine.
We never write reviews for games but for this game we couldnt resist. It is highly underrated and we hope to see more updates in the future.
We love it it is just not collecting the dirt everyone digs up. Nobody can collect it. Can you please fix this? The reason is dirt piles and other piles should have something underneath them, not always, still. Can you make that a feature? That would make the game a bit better. Thanks: Moonjangsam out.
Its so fun and we hope they make a 3rd.
We wish there was a way to combine things instead of just random in inspiration.
Everything we spin the wheel for an item it freeezes but overall a good game.
This was a blast of fun it makes you sow happy and you made the best game ever and thank you for the best fun we ever had!! And this is why Im giving youre game 5 stars.
Im not in the mood to write. But this game is just what o was looking for. Island survival game with simple controls and intuitive puzzle progression system.
This seems to be your most popular game. We hope you keep working on it. Like a fire and cooking update would be nice.
Is ebic gamer and have egg approval.
We think it is a fun game you should really get it we really like it and you should too.
We love this game so far!! Its exactly what ive been wanting out of a game for a while- great job! We have a suggestion that might even make the game better in our opinion, making it so that we can study multiple items at the same time- we love this game and dont want have to wait for 30+ minutes for an item. Of course, if thats not able to happen no worries! Still love the game.
What we hate is that there is no ladder or no climbing because we have wanted to get up the big ledges with those chickens and those trees. The only way for us to get it is by daily gifts. Plz make a ladder or climb button please! We will give 5 star review soon after the climb/ladder update.
Great game, very engaging. Not a lot of updates, though.
We collected 50 rocks from the roulette, and its just stuck there with him holding it in the air, we cant see our controls, and we cant move. Please fix this.
We used to play this game all the time and we just redownload it and the new fishing mechanics are boring. Can you please bring the old fishing back where you had to press the button when the bar was going up and down. Or at least give a switch to turn that version on.
The game is hard to control on an ipad with movement keys covering 1/4 of the screen.
We want the chickens to drop feathered meat that you can chop up with the small knife and get 1 to 3 feathers and 2 meat and 1 bone thanks.
We found this game a few years ago. We enjoyed it so much, we didnt delete it after we finished so we could watch for future updates. We decided to play it again and enjoyed it just as much. Id like to spend a few dollars to support you but we really didnt need the premium items you have for purchase. We would have happily bought wire or best bait. Or even bought the house pre-made, instead of chopping all the wood by hand. (But it needs to be transferable between stage 1 and 2). We hope you will make a new games soon.
We played this when we were a kid and its even better playing it now.
Really fun but theres only like one way to get wire and its the roulette wheel and you have to do a bunch of spins to get it.
This game is a personal 5 stars because it really has us hooked. Thats about it… Oh yeah, and its fantastic playing mechanics :D.
Most fair, very well game for phone. Link to the past like. Well done 100.
We love this game but we have one complaint. How do we get the crabs to spawn? We know they spawn at night, and they spawn at the beach, but once we wait until night time, and once we go to the beach, we cant find any! We check multiple times but we still cant get one to spawn. Please send feedback because we are really confused.
We love this game. We play it every chance we get. It is so well thought though and detailed. The people who made this did an incredible job. A lot of games we drop after only a few weeks but Ive has this one for a long time and still have so much farther to go in the game. Every so often Ill hit a point where we cant get a piece we need for a long time but even then we have other recipes and tasks to work on. We highly recommend this game to people and even suggest people we know play it whenever they ask us about it. 10/10.
Yes that's right. You don't need to spend any money. You can but you can also get the items easily very fast. This is by far one of the best games we've ever played. We beat both prob 5 times. Using different strategies etc. It is tricky but don't give up. And there's a lot of secrets and little hints. It's for all ages and we really hope they make more.
Just finished the first island and heading to the second but enjoying it greatly.
We love this game thank you for making it.
We have been playing this game since 2015, we love it to this day, please make more updates.
This game is great, but there are too many items that have no use. And having to wait 29 days for a lightbulb or the small chance of catching one is ridiculous. It would be nice if there were other ways to get one. Edit: just finished stage two and we are still in love with this game! We really hope there is a stage three coming soon and that all items will be useful. Keep it up guys.
We liked this game so much that though we downloaded it 3 years ago and finished, as soon as we got an iPhone again, we had to make sure it was one of the first things on our phone. Artistry.
