Great game, here’s a suggestion
This game is very fun and relaxing. Here is one thing I think could add a lot to the game:
I think there should be something like “voyages” or something like that in which you complete longer quests. An example could be finding one island and picking up “cargo” and then bringing it to an island from a previous round. This would be really cool cause my only real complaint with the game is that there isn’t really enough variety of things to do in between rounds.Show lessVitiligod69
My favorite game I have
I’ve seen many reviews about how this game is a pay to win game - IT IS NOT PAY TO WIN- if you pay you just get some free boats and a little bit of oysters...
It’s soo easy to get oysters if you find the island! Currently I have 610 oysters 😅 im waiting to use them on a boat I love.
I’m glad that you can buy the surprise boats, And getting on the leader board isn’t the whole purpose of the game anymore, the game is a great game to relax with :)Show lessjochan7
Very fun but...
I’ll admit. This game is very fun. I got it the other day and I’ve tried hard and the best I’ve gotten is only 60th. I sort of get the feel that it’s a pay to win game. It is impossible to earn oysters. You get a lot of flares from finding the island, but only after you’ve used all your previous flares to get there. Just my thoughts that it’s not fair to players who don’t want to pay.Show lessjackmanimo
Wow love the update maybe improvements
I really love what you all have done by adding a friends menu and love the shipwrecks but it is hard to find them.
I would like to see more diverse music like adding different music at the island which the finder can choose and also I would enjoy to have an event each round where you have a certain time limit to get somewhere close to the island to get rewards or even sell fish, a secondary currency maybe that you get from selling fish and being able to rebuild the home with that currency is a idea
Overall love the game want to see moreShow lesskdkdjfujdj
1.2 changes are confusing!
This is a great game, slow paced and super fun while being relaxing. I’m having a hard time understanding how the new season worked - when the changeover came, I kept the oysters and flares I’d collected. But none of the upgrades I made on my boat were carried over! I got them because it said it’d carry over to any boat, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Other than little annoying quirks like this, though, it’s an awesome game and beautifully designed.Show lessswandive405
Gimmicky
My first impression of 1sland was not altogether poor. It seems like a relaxing game you tune into as and when you please, but really the gameplay itself is frustrating and dull.
The music is unexciting and unmemorable. Finding an island is not difficult at first, but the flares that indicate the general direction of the island have a much wider radius and arc than the tutorial indicates. It’s almost 180°, which makes the flares almost useless. They basically only indicate the absolute wrong direction to go. I’ve wasted as many as 4 circling an island that was a mere 2 miles from me, even with a buoy deployed, because the directional flares are barely useful.
The initial excitement and pleasure of a well-made but simple game faded in just about an hour because gameplay is limited between island spawns and the game itself feels more and more like a joke meant to incentivize spending money.
Boring. Simplistic. Cash-grabby.
Poorly designed.Show lessScenvresh
Boring. Where’s the game?
The game is aesthetically pleasing, and the minimalistic design is wonderful. There aren’t any intrusive advertisements or annoying UI-menu navigation you have to perform to enjoy playing the game.
However, the game is just so empty. Coming into the game I thought it would be an open-world sailing exploration game with the niche battle royals event that you could choose to participate in; but really it’s just a dragged out progression system to make you forget how little content there is in the game. You have these repetitive, simple mini games and fishing quests you can do for the in game currency but they reset every two hours. You do the same thing over and over, catching the same fish- doing the same race, and sailing across empty ocean or icy waters. It’s a shame because I would’ve loved to have the battle royale side as a separate game mode, and have my own 1sland and exploration game to play.
For those who care about the battle royale aspect: There really isn’t an advantage to people who want to spend a lot of money to find the island first, and there really isn’t an advantage to find the island first in the first. It takes a fair degree of luck to land your flares correctly to find the island quickly- and that’s it unless you are going to spam flares.
Tl;dr:
There’s enough content to last you for thirty minutes. Check the game out later maybe?Show lessGuylinerx
The game is great, here are some tips.
I know this game is going to get popular very fast, so relaxing and slow paced and with a lot of patience you can be permanently put in the Hall of fame and people can see your 1sland!. One extra thing here are couple nit picks, in the tutorial you get bombarded with text that make the tutorial frustrating, which isn’t good because it can deture people from the game. For example trying to get XP you missed behind you is hard because when you go back to get it the tutorial stops you in your place with text. the progress is slow but I think this isn’t a game you are supposed to grind for long time maybe it’s a game you use for relaxation. one last thing getting an island is very very hard but I think it’s to make you enjoy the journey and feel fulfilled when you get an island, anyways amazing game and maybe it can take over the mobile market like Mario kart and or Pokémon go did.Show lessrids711
Frustrating tutorials, lots of potential
Amazing visuals, could’ve been the perfect zen experience, however, the forced annoying tutorial and the forced competition, ruins the experience. I had to delete it after the first ten minutes or so, I went through the first level with the slowest tutorial I’ve ever seen, and after it ended (which btw, was apparently a competition that I didn’t sign up for), I thought cool, it probably has some zen mode or sth, but no, more tutorials and competition 😭!
The visuals and the idea behind the game are great, and as said in the title, it has a lot of potential, if the developer ever gets rid if the tutorial torture and the competition, and adds a complete zen mode, like in Alto’s Adventure, or an offline gaming version in which you don’t have to compete with others online, I would happily re-install it! I rarely write reviews for apps and games, especially games, but I really like this game to get better ‘cause I know it can. I hope I’ll be able to enjoy this game in near future.Show lessDude372
Fun but misleading
This is a really cool concept for a game. It’s super relaxing when there isn’t an island to find. I really enjoy crashing through the blocks of ice for some reason!
I just wish there were more islands to find at one time or that there wasn’t so much time in between. For the past two days I’ve been in the app, waiting when a new island is about to appear. I set my flares and buoys but when I travel the distance and set direction, there’s no island. Another two flares later and I see that I’m the same distance away (if not further) in the opposite direction! Super frustrating.
Overall though I enjoy it and I’ll keep trying to find my island.Show lessHrd8759
