Leave a Review 1sland
Here’s another suggestion!
Hello :) I wrote a review a while back asking for different islands to get materials from and you guys added it! That’s how I know you guys care about the people playing the game.
I came back to this game after a break since I was busy lately. Still love it, and it’s still really lovely and peaceful.
Now my suggestion is to make it more ocean explorer-y. I love the idea of you have to unlock the last island and get the material to make a compass to get the next island, but the blank space when getting the money to build the dock is making it a bit boring.
So my idea is to still make the islands that you have to access the last to access the next, but to also have a free ocean with some rogue islands that don’t give you material, but just a place for you to stop and explore. It would definitely fill in the time while you try to unlock the islands with the gems.
I understand it’s a small team of 2, and this might be a lot to make, but it’ll really make it more of an ocean explorer. And I’d really enjoy just sailing around to no where with no intent and seeing what I can find!
Overall still love this game, and I still recommend it if you need to take a well needed break.Show lessmeh :))
Developer Response
Hello there, developer response :) Thank you so much for your lovely words about our game. It really means a lot to us and gives us a lot of motivation to keep working on making the best possible experience for you. That's a great point! We have a lot of ideas on our roadmap, and we are working on them non-stop (we are a tiny team of 2). Minigames sound great (we have 3 already but we understand that there could be more!). The different islands with other materials sounds like a wonderful feature, it would make the crafting a lot more exciting. We also have the idea to introduce some type of treasure hunt, or some set of secondary-type missions (kind of like a tiny story mode). We'd be happy to read more of your lovely ideas on hola@nada.studio Have a great day!Comment feature??
In general i love the game but one thing that i noticed that they added recently is the comment feature. All i have to say is that i have not had a great experience with it. As usual i was playing the game and one of the other players on line was making negative comments towards my player after i had lost a competition. Is there a way to disable the comment feature??? I wish they had never added this featureShow lessLisazechnas
Used to be fun, until
With the recent update as of Nov2022 now all in game currency (hearts and stars) you were able to earn has been reduced by half at a minimum. Boats used to all have the same base speed, now they have been made extremely slow with a new currency added that you can pay real money for to make them as good as the boats used to be. Boats can no longer be purchased with stars, but now cards as well (the same new currency you use to upgrade boats.) They basically went and turned racing which was more or less about finding the best path to hit speed up orbs and avoid whirlpools/icebergs into a “pay us money and you can have first on the leaderboard.” It used to be optional and if you were good enough you could make top five regardless if you were paying or not. Now it just seems like they tried to monetize everything and make the grind wayyy longer for things just so you’ll give them money to speed it up. Maybe things will change back, but I seriously doubt it with how app and console games are now.Show less1sland?

Hey there, developer response. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We understand you might be disappointed after the latest changes, but we are very small studio of 2 people trying to figure things out, and for sure, there is room for improvement and for tweaking things. As per the racing side of it, we are actually thinking of bringing back the old island discovery mode; we don't yet know if we are keeping the flares or doing it via the compass, but this is something we are exploring. Please, if you ever feel like sharing more of your thoughts and suggestions with us, we will be happy to read you on hola@nada.studio Hope you have a great day, Jaco & SergioGreat Potential
1sland is a fun grind, whether you spend money on it or not. It’s awesome but there’s some bugs (building and fishing). Also, I’ve constantly found myself wondering why the developers didn’t include certain menu options or actions throughout different states of gameplay (like checking challenge requirements while fishing, boating, building, etc.). Finally, it would be cool if more item options were added to the shop, like being able to build thin bridges across water to connect different pieces of land.
Overall, I really enjoy this game and am commenting because I think it’s awesome but has a lot of potential for growth and improvement. For those wondering if it’s purely pay-to-play, it’s not and is still a lot of fun—just takes consistent patience :)Show lessChandler 22$$&&
Developer Response
Hey Chandler, devs here! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a review! And sorry for the late reply, my brother and I have been busy this past weeks with the latest 1sland update. I'm going to try and reply to all the points you mentioned: Regarding bugs, it would be of great help if you could please send us an email to hola@nada.studio with a bit of information about the errors, we really want to tackle them! The menu options/extra actions is a good idea, at first we thought adding more elements to the UI could make it confusing for the player but maybe is something that could really make things a lot easier for you guys... We'll give it some thought :) Regarding bridges... that's something that is on our dev roadmap and should be done soon. It involves a bit of reworking of the building system since we want to make it well (the ability to create bridges that span more than 1 land unit would be cool). Thank you so much for your nice words, it really means a lot for us 2 to read this. If you ever feel like sharing some ideas on how to improve the game, or additions you'd like to see implemented, please write us at hola@nada.studio and we'll be super happy to talk! Kind regards, Jaco & SergioOld player confused
I redownloaded this game after like 1-2 years and the game is completely different. While i do appreciate the game devs for keeping it fresh with new ideas and content, I simply can't get reconnected to the new style at all.
I loved being able to explore the map without waiting, and just simply playing a game to find the island first.
That being said, I really adore the customization and the fact that players get their own island, that's really cool.Show lessDingleDongleDangle
Good game but one bug
I love the game and the graphics and all of that cool stuff but there’s just one thing that I don’t like. after I Play for about 10 minutes it crashes and I have to re-open the game but overall I love it. If you could please fix that bug It would be really greatbruh65423
How do you find things
I really like the game! Only played it for a day but there is a lot to do already, and isn’t boring and is quite relaxing.
Only thing is that it doesn’t teach you what each item exactly is, you can click on items to make to see what you need though. I found that I needed diamonds to upgrade my compass but it only told me to go to the lava see to find them. I don’t know if I need to be fishing or I’ll find it floating on the surface. Can someone help me with this problem?Show lessTaylor Duerr
Peaceful and fun just one little thing…
I was searching through the AppStore one day looking for a new game to play, since was tired of the ones I had. I came across this game and decided to try it out. Immediately I fell in love with it. Whenever I’m stressed out, I take a break and come to this game, and it never fails to relax me.
Something I do have to say is that I can get bored of just fishing and sailing around for 20 minutes, so I think you should add more minigames. This isn’t the sort of game I’d play for an hour straight, so I usually just drop it and come back later. So maybe you should add that you can search for islands and get materials from there. I feel like that would add to the sailor experience from this game. Other than that, love it and definitely a game to play if you’re stressed over exams and you just need time to yourself.Show lessMore interactions
I love this game, it’s very new, it has a lot of potential but also room to grow. I do believe there should be a tutorials and tips section for players, because besides the beginning you don’t really know how to do basic things or how to find stuff out in sea (hints would be appreciated)
I also have a personal irritation with how small the bag capacity is.
Things I would really like to see in the game is a personal player handbook, a way to add friends and interact with one another besides the whole boats just chilling out in sea.
I would like to visit my friends island or be able to travel there by boat. I think it would be fun to fish with friends.
Treasure hunting would be cool.👍
I love the games art and how relaxing it is, i hope to see really cool updates in the future.Show lessyguvyugyuvyguv
Can I change my character?
I accidentally chose the wrong character when I started the game and I can’t find any way to change it. I don’t see any options or anything in the clothing shop. Also I might have written this review already, but I wrote it with bad cell service and I don’t think it went through, but that’s why there might be a second one of these.Show lessSirCrabapple
