Best game ever
This game is the best mobile game I have ever had also it’s free and there’s no ads this game is slow relaxing it lets me relive stress and it is very rewarding another thing I would like to add is a fishing mini game you have to get a certain amount of fish before a time runs out and a swamp environment like how there is an ice environment and a bright and red one a swamp one would be cool like there are vines and lily pads that slow you down like the icebergs but they don’t break well they do but they slowly fade out and a flare that teleports you closer the island and you could add small islands that give 10xp for finding them and you can get a loot crate like the one you get at 9:00am but slightly worse and these islands aren’t very hard to come by Thank you devs for this sweet little gameShow lessreal elon muck
Solo game mode please
First off, this game has amazing music and I feel pretty calm while playing this game. This is the exact reason why I think a solo free-roam mode with many islands would be great. I don’t really like the idea of competition while playing this game, so I don’t really play to win, I just play to relax and it works but could be better. Also, maybe there could be a mode where you find an island and then establish a little town or something, but that is just an idea.
This game is still pretty good!Show lessSavingLightning
This game is bland, to much grinding, and it’s unfair
It takes around 9 or more hours to actually compete to find the island which and since the island is put in a random spot then people a lot closer have a high chance of finding it when you are 15 miles away from it which makes the game frustrating and boring, and to get oysters it takes like 5 to 10 minutes just to get 1 or 2 but with the passes you get a good boat and and good oysters which just turns the game into a pay to win. Wish you would fix these problems.Show lessWannks
Fun game but annoying
Fix the flare. When I shoot the flare that shows the direction it doesn’t even seem that the island is anywhere in the direction it shows It’s really annoying that I also can’t keep the boat running to shoot a flare. I slow down so much and even stop sometimes cuz I can’t keep the boat going while shooting a flare. Fix the direction a little bit so I don’t have to shoot off 30 flares pre new island and still not even be close to the first 25 to find it. I sit and wait till the new island comes along with how many others. But yet I am 15-20 “miles” away and can’t even get in the top 30 people. Makes me sad. But it’s a fun nice game keep up the good workShow lesssj2002_2

Hey, developer here! First of all, thanks for playing and leaving a review! As for flares, we feel they might be ok as they are right now, but we did not do a great job explaining how they work (so it's our fault!). Could you reach us at Twitter @wearenada or email 1sland@nada.studio please? This way we could help you create your own strategy using flares, and we could also try to improve the tutorial with your feedback. Thank you!Very well made
I downloaded it a few minutes ago and already it’s very addicting and one of my favorite games. I love how you can compete against other people to find islands and when there is no competition you can explore the ocean, and go fishing, and scare the birds away. I also really like the challenges and how you can upgrade your boats. So I just want to say that I already love this game and it was very well made by the developers.Show less245124567774423456003
I love this game but the thunderstorms
I’ve only been playing this game for about 20 minutes and I’m already in love. But I’ve already been caught in a thunderstorm. Usually I get headaches from flashing lights so it would be really great if there was a setting where I could turn that off lol. Other than that this game is absolutely fantastic and I love it so much. The art style is adorable, the music is calming, and it’s so easy to play. There’s nothing confusing about it. I also have severe anxiety so the meditation aspect of it really helps. Thank you developers (:Show lessEZ_Rider26
Charming and Chill
Man, what a lovely game! The concept is really neat; the design, i.e., layout design and user interface is quaint and elegantly simple, and you can tackle this from a really chill or competitive angle. The only thing I would say is the actual gameplay takes a little longer to get familiar with than other games in this genre, but it’s still just a really groovy little games!Show lesspaigeypoo42069
Beautiful game, much too pay-to-win
You can purchase premium currency, which then allows you to purchase directional flares, which then allow you to find the island faster, as you can spam them.
Basically, if you have someone who earns the directional flares without buying them, you will win 1/10th of the times that someone who is paying for them wins.
Also, if you don’t get on within the first couple of minutes that a round starts (it starts with or without you every 3 hours or so) someone WILL find the island first, meaning you have to drop everything you’re doing and jump on, which is not feasible for most. I’m pretty sure I keep seeing the same 2 or 3 people finding the island every single match, which is disheartening.
I would avoid downloading until there’s a limit on flare usage or some other balancing out into place to make it less pay to win.Show lessjmhpdx
Love it to pieces!
No joke, I have been playing this game every day since I found out about it. At least once every six hour cycle I’m opening up 1sland to try and be the first to win. And I don’t even like battle royales! The pay to win format most of them have is unbearable to me and for the longest time I just gave up on them.
I picked up this game on a whim and now I’m never looking back.
Even with season passes, all they really do is speed up your progression. You can do almost anything a paid player can do, it’s just a slower grind. Yes, pass holders do get exclusive boats, but a non pass holder still has the ability to buy slightly different boats with the exact same advantages.
My only problem with it is that right now there are only two kinds of mini games you can find to earn extra exp, and some more variety would be nice!
Overall, it’s refreshing to see this new “paddle royale” and it’s much more relaxed and fair atmosphere brought to the table. I cannot recommend it enough!Show lessambergem16(#43)

Thank you so much for such a nice review. Just wanted to say that we are already working on new minigames and items for the game! Thank you for playing 1sland!The most annoying/frustrating glitch
This game is a great game, it is a slow paced relaxing game that requires lots of play time (or 1 purchase) to complete rewarding goals that pay off. There is a lot of grinding time wether it’s fishing for 20 minutes to find all species to driving around for hours to achieve mile goals. With that being said there are many boats and boat upgrades that can assist you in achieving more goals and getting more oysters (in game currency). My worst experience with this game is wasting oysters because they are very hard to get.
The most annoying glitch is the Position flare, I don’t know if the developers are aware of this glitch but you cannot use a second buoy/position flare. The first one shows your distance from the point you placed it but the second one you drop doesn’t show you the distance which is a complete waste of an oyster. Now if in game currency (oysters) were easily acquired and surplussed this would not be a big problem but all oysters are very important and critical to progression because of how they can be used and how tedious it is to get acquire them.Show lessAYoungBull

Hi, developer here! Thank you so much for your feedback, we are constantly trying to make it better, and we will definitely make us of your insights to improve it! As for the second distance/position flares, that sounds like a bug... thanks for telling us! You should be able to fire the amount you want, not only one; sorry about that! If you write us to 1sland@nada.studio, we will give you a bunch of them, and we can try to track down the problem. Thank you!
