Co-op issue

I love the game so far, the only issues is that when I try to play co-op, like host or find a game, there’s nothing, and the game constantly says it’s in offline mode, which doesn’t make any sense. I’ve found next to no answers or others having this problem, and an answer would be appreciated.

This is was a great Game! Until...

I started this game as soon as it came out on Arcade. And I loved it, and I played for four weeks straight. Four weeks straight, seriously. Then at the end of that said fourth week, I was playing, and remembered to save, which is the annoying part of the game. I’ll say now, anyone who likes Minecraft, this is the game for you. But the problem was, the saving. If you don’t save every 5 or 10 minutes to be safe, you can lose a lot of progress. But as I was saying, I had a TON of stuff after 4 weeks. I had everything gold I had explored almost every island, had two of the legendary weapons or something, and 20 monkeys, fully all trained, and I had gold swords, spears, and sharp axes. Then when I went to save, I pressed save, and then it kicked me out of the game. I went back in and lost 3 weeks of progress. I was back to 8 monkeys, a handful of nearly broken clubs, and one axe, and I didn’t have any thing else. It was extremely frustrating. I called support, and see if they could reboot my account, or maybe give me stuff I asked for. Nothing. They didn’t help. Don’t even start this game. I really don’t want anyone else feeling the depression and stress and desperation I felt, after I lost probably 60 hours of continuous work. I could have done a lot of other stuff, and I felt like I lost a part of my life I couldn’t get back. Don’t get.

Great game, bad stability

Crashes as you get more things, if you get too much stuff collected it seems to crash quite a lot - otherwise a great game and I wish they could fix the crashes.

Fun. a couple recommendations tho:

I like to listen to podcasts while I play a little game, not being able to do this makes me not want to play this game. Seems relatively simple to make it possible to have something running in the background, it would be nice to have that option.
I like the game, it’s cool, fun. But it was absolutely heartbreaking when my home got ravaged since it takes so long to craft things, the event didn’t motivate me, it made me actually dislike the game, I felt like I didn’t yet have a grasp on things and then my home got ransacked by orcs, too hard. that’s life I guess.
Would be cool to have an option to call ALL the monkey on an island rather than just the ones in your vicinity, like an option to do either or. I find I lost track of monkeys very quickly, and spent a lot of time looking for them which was frustrating.
Very cute game tho I like the style and ideas. Cheers.

Really good but crashes

This game is amazing but sometimes it will crash please fix

PLS PLS PLS

This game is amazing and fun but i really hate how you cant track normal chests I HATE that feature because I had a chest with all my best stuff in it and my monkey was carrying it or something and it got lost along with everything in it! :( Pls fix this!!!

good game not at all mobile supported

it’s actually so buggy. my universal chest despawned when i saved my gave in the bat dungeon and it had literally all of my valuable loot. i can’t access it until i buy another chest and i’m not sure if u can buy two in the same world i have to go check but regardless it’s too frustrating. don’t allow monkeys to carry chests if you can’t handle programming how to save what’s in the chest that monkeys holding. it just shows incompetent development in a half effort money grab attempt at a mobile game port. it honestly just looks bad for the development team overall i wouldn’t want to come back to their games knowing the blatant bugs. additionally the monkey targeting in the monkey menu is inaccurate i catch myself having to attempt 2-3 tries in picking one individual monkey because it targets 2-3 money’s per click because they default into coming so close together yet the touch targeting registers in such a fat radius that it’s extremely difficult not to target 2+ monkeys at a time when you intend to click one unless you happen to be on an ipad

Great game but buggy

Playing mainly on my Apple TV. Quite buggy. Will crash randomly. Monkeys become untrained when you die or load from save or load from crash. Sometimes monkeys won’t gather right. Like will not gather from chests or will not pick up certain items, have to retrain them to get them to gather everything again. Lastly non bug issue knowing where to find certain things like iron and the such is a bit difficult. Took some googling to know where to find things or what to do next. Outside of that it’s actually a really good game and quite addictive to the point I’m still playing even with the bugs. Wish they would get these patched would easily be a 4.5 stars then.

Need improvements

Fun game, imersive. Have potentential, however it does have a few bugs that can be quite frustrating.

Couple of glitches

To start off on a good note, this games really fun. I would definitely play this more often if there wasn’t these few glitches. One of the glitches isn’t that bad, it’s when you get hit while crafting items. This glitch just doesn’t allow you to craft anything or touch anything; so just basically not being able to do anything. I found this out while being hit by a bat while crafting a rock. This glitch can be fixed by just exiting and entering the game. Another one is that whenever you exit the game while a tamed monkey that you have is holding a chest, I haven’t found out a way to get back the chest. I learned the hard way when I put all of my stuff in the chest.
A minor issue is that day-night cycles won’t happen if you quit the game and load back in while sailing in a boat. I would love to keep playing but the chest disappearing while the monkey was holding it was just a major turn off for me.
