Love this game , enjoy playing let us get back to our game now ! Awesome.
They keep it interesting and challenging. Very affordable. Stabile. Try it youll like it.
At first we didnt care for this game, now Iove itnand Im never bored playing.
Fun game but whos they would make some useful update like being able to buy or trade with neighbors. Wish expansion was easier its taken us forever just to get our lil land and everything is so congested.
Hi we remember we absolutely loved this game and we redownload it a lot but then delete it because we realized we didnt like the way we played before. If you made a day for us to restart our gameplay and start from the beginning id love it again.
Fun game, progresses ok, lots to do between the many islands. Food is a bummer, your always out of it.
Tribez Island is a lot of fun but theres too many timed fails for us to continue playing.
We love it but so many ads while playing and after ads, we have to quit and restart the game becoz game touch is gone.
It was fun until it got buggy and started crashing and resetting. Its a. Technical bug but customer service insists its our devices. We were really happy and looking forward to continuing to play, but Im at our wits end and tired of losing money, diamonds and progress. As soon as we get our money refunded we are deleting this game for good.
We guess Im just slow because we dont understand how to play this game. Instructions unclear. Deleting app.
Thi game keeps us entertained and is so much fun! Its a must download.
This so fun a love this games.
This game is super addicting, but we have noticed when we go to another players island it says we need to update the app. We check the App Store and there is not update! Also we have noticed that when we click to watch the ads for coins, the ad pops up and plays and then never returns to the game and just turns black. So we watch the ad and then Im forced to close out the app. Once we reopen the app, we dont get any coins for watching and we wasted our time… Hoping these two issues are resolved soon.
This game is pretty cute, but will need updates down th road, should be able to add fb neighbors, and visit them as well a chat group would be wonderful as well, people do like to see whos on game play And talk , help while playing. Ty.
Theres so much to do and its not repetitive. Lots of fun.
So addicted keeps us coming back But we would love to be able to store buildings so we can rearrange our island but other then that we love this game…………so Im adding to our review. Just a suggestion we would love to be able to store our buildings so that we can rearrange our island it would make it a lot easier for rearranging the houses and stuff please and thank you still love the game though.
We really like it, but its hard to get tools you need, especially axes sooo it takes awhile to open new land expansions. We do spend some money but not going to spend THAT MUCH!! It does crash sometimes when trying to visit others too, not all the time but it can be annoying tho. Again be much better if you could get the tools you, ESPECIALLY AXES. OK Thats our opinion and why we only rated 4 Stars.
We love this game! We could sit and play it for hours! Our main complaint is that you cant start your game over! You wont allow someone to delete their game and start over from the beginning. That is just crazy! Other than that we love it.
Love love love this app we love it so much thank you for everything.
Love to play. Very cute and fun game to play. Gems come easy in game.
Ive played off an on for years. It always grabs our attention. What we like is that you dont need gems to complete all the tasks. However, if you DO utilize gems, just like any other game, be careful to not use them by accident. Patience is needed while waiting for things to build or gaining enough tools to expand. The only downside is not being able to purchase or build the tools you need for expansion.
This game is fun and challenging, the hardest part is waiting for long periods of time to complete some tasks. We would recommend it to any game players who like a challenge… Especially in finding articles needed on the islands. Charlotte.
We are absolutely addicted to this game. We love it soooo much. The one issue though, is that its freaking impossible to make money efficiently in this game. You have to craft to sell stuff but ingredients for the tools also must be made and basically limits how much you can craft. Which is fine, but its the only way to make money. Im trying to unlock the second expansion but it requires 4000 gold and Im struggling to get there. We have everything else, just not the gold. We wish there was a tax system or a daily reward system or a mini game system so it wouldnt be so restraining. The market system is fine for smaller purchases, but when a npc tries to buy a table for 26 gold, it seems like an impossible feat to get to 4000. Its annoying enough to make us get frustrated and stop playing for a while.
We enjoy the game but wish we could earn more points/money sooner. We also would like to see more lightening bolts instead of 100.
This game is AWESOME! We play it all the time and its not too difficult or too easy and there is always a way to keep going. The challenges are super interesting. And the visuals are really cute and fun. Trade Island is a great time passer. We highly recommend to to listen to our title line! Download this game.
We have waited 24 hours to receive it, emailed them and we will wait a little longer before we contact Apple support or a dispute. Love the game but this makes us hate it.
Great game to play! Makes time go by quickly.
We wish the events were a bit less hard and long, but great otherwise.
Takes the time away. No wa rest time game play.
Only negative is that gems you have to buy are a big part of the game so you have to spend some money to get items needed and advance in the game.
Fun to play. Not impossible to get things done.
It takes too much to acquire enough gems to purchase items.
The main negative thing we have to say about this game is that you have to wait too long to upgrade anything or build anything. Also, this game doesnt give you enough energy to explore the island. Other than that, its great.
We really like this game, it is very addictive when finally after a long time you can open another territory or you can unlock more houses or things to make new things. What we do not like and that has stopped us from playing is that it is very difficult to unlock terrtories and it is almost impossible to get all the tools you need to do it or do an upgrade or you need to burn many dimmers or several times to tools to help you continue the game we understand that this is the business but it seems like abuse.
Lover this version of game more to do, wish it was also offline as well.
The new Santa island is no longer letting us progress. We have plenty of energy we just cant tap anything. This is the kind of thing that makes us quit a game.
She was right. It's only been a couple hours of play but we're definitely hooked already. We are still loving the game. Getting gems takes up a bit of time but the playing is fun. We are scrambling to get enough land to build on right now. Its looking pretty good though. Thanks for the fun Still hooked lol. Sometimes we think tools to advance are too slow coming, but we guess thats to be expected in most games. One of our biggest irritants is the special flower we get periodically to grow. Try as we may, we have not finished even one in all our time playing. We spend hours and hours and then as we get almost finished, times up. Very irritating. We love the game though, so we keep trying. Graphics are beautiful and the storyline intriguing cash spent in game often gets us in trouble as we spend a lot of gems. Thank you for the fine game. Well done.
Can this game be played offline.
Believe this game is super fun to play. We greatly have a blast playing this game.
The game play is fine. One makes things, uses them to complete tasks, advances. To compete tasks, one has to cut down all beautiful plants to make way for factories and houses. Characters have wishes, the player must submit these unwitting characters to heterosexual "love" interactions or even conversations with a random partner. Two characters are considered bandits, click on them and police show up to taze them as the goal. White men and women have the prestige, as evidenced by their fancy houses and demand for green spaces. A lone character of color is forced to be a ridiculous shaman from the jungle. Despite the game, we can't get over the ecological destruction and white hetero normative privilege.
It is super fun and worth your time!! We really enjoyed this game.
Like tribes, but better, and with a few hints or relations to og tribes! Absolutely fun.
We love this game and Tribez. Can you develop more games like these.
We love it. We love that you can earn gems.
We really enjoy playing this game, however it needs more storage. Like most of these types of games there isnt even a place to store purchased decorative items (road tiles, flowers, stop lights, etc…) while reorganizing after expansion. And there definitely isnt enough during regular game play, especially as you go up in levels and it takes more of each material (wood, fabric, fruit, etc…) to create each needed item. Also, please make it possible to delete or store holiday themed things that are are acquired through gameplay. We really dont want an award with a pumpkin on it there year round. Please fix for 5.
Seems like it would be a fun game IF we COULD GET IT TO OPEN N NOT CRASH.
A few bumps but nothing you cant work through!! Lots of exploring sand building to be done, and Ive only hit level 10. Truly a great relaxing time killer. Thanks to the developers.
Love this game but wondering where you buy the ticket to open the train station. Ive been waiting many months for some kind of instructions, but nothing. We still give five stars.
We use to love this game and play for hours but now its basically impossible to accomplish any missions. To get the special items like land, and other things needed for the ocean and music is so hard to get. They took away the special prizes when you sailed . Which we absolutely hate because it made it easier to get the harder objects like the books, stop watch and things of that sort. We really would like to see some changes or ima have to stop playing.
Super bueno siempre hay algo que hacer.
