  • Fun but flawed

    This game is certainly better than the vast majority of mobile games and has enough content to keep me returning but it is a flawed experience. The worst of these is the horrible optimisation. I get there is only so much you can optimise a game to run on certain devices but when my phone (which is new) is overheating and lagging after 5 or so minutes of playing then something has gone very wrong. The game is also too grindy at times making watching ads seem like the only way to get the necessary resources. Speaking of ads, the game still plays as they’re on and I have died several times due to this. Despite these issues it is still a good game and miles better than the ad plagued garbage that makes up the majority of mobile games.

  • Fun and ADDICTIVE!

    This game is super addictive and a great time passer. I started it and loved it so much I got my husband, sister and mom hooked as well!

    It does have quite a few ads (like any other game) but we liked the game enough to pay for the ads to go bye bye.

    I’ve played a lot of games that you get to a point where you almost have to purchase coins or something for it even to be worth it but not this one! You can get as far as you want without purchasing anything it just takes time and work ;) You also have tons of options to watch ads for an extra boost if you want but I haven’t needed to.

    The first world is pretty easy so I was scared that I’d get through all the worlds and beat the game in no time but it definitely gets harder each time.

    My only complaint is the armor and sword upgrades. You work so hard to get the supplies to upgrade your sword and amor (that claims to gives better health and what not) but it doesn’t seem to change at all. The sea monsters in the third world are really hard to fight so I upgraded my amor and sword to the highest and unfortunately it wasn’t even slightly helpful.

    Still not a huge enough deal to lose a star in the rating though and other than that it’s great and would recommend for anyone with anxiety like myself.

  • To many ads

    I like the game but there are to many ads and like when ever I’m fighting something and ad comes up and when I come back I’m dead

  • I love the game but the ads are killing me

    I love this game and concept, I think it’s really amazing and a good game with a little bit of grinding, but what annoys me are the ads, I understand you need ads to be able to make the game free and I don’t mind having the ads but I think it’s too many. Ads at the bottom, pop up ads, ads to upgrade your gear.

    The only logical way to upgrade your tools are ads, spend 3 minutes watching ads or spend an hour grinding. I don’t mind allowing ads and giving rewards but it feels like the only way to get new gear is by watching ads, I want to have a feeling that I’ve accomplished something when getting new gear not “welp just watched some ads”. But overall I do love the game!

  • Such a fun game!

    I love this game, it’s so relaxing and fun. Working your way through the worlds is exciting, although there are a couple of issues.
    1) the game is unplayable unless you pay to remove ads, which I did and it’s not too expensive, but just know you will have to pay the $6 or so if you want to really enjoy it. I wish removing ads was more like $3 though, probably more would be willing to pay it.
    2) the game has bugs, and often force quits the app when I’m in the middle of doing something. It wouldn’t be too bad, except it always sends you back to the beginning of the level when you reload, which is especially frustrating in the level where you need a boat to get out to the islands you’re working on. You’re back at the beginning, but your boat is still at the island so you have to buy another boat. Would be nice to see the crashing bug fixed

    But other than that I love the simplicity of this game. I will play it to the end!

  • Addictive. Yet…

    This game is highly addictive. With the latest release there are now additional tasks to complete before you can enter a new part.

    Edit: they fixed the gameplay I describe below. The quests are fewer to get to new areas. They brought the game back to awesome!

    Unfortunately it seems like these quests are just designed to slow down the players so devs can make new levels. It’s frustrating to spend a long time on a quest to get 3 stars and you need a total of 120 to unlock the next set of levels. Either reduce the number of stars to unlock or make the quests something less than what they are. In one case a quest is to kill 30 grinch looking dudes but having everything maxed from tools to outfit they still kill quick despite running around them. It’s rough. I haven’t played nearly as much as I was because the game was relaxing and I could zone out… now it’s just frustrating. Downgrading more. I enjoyed this game and now with the quests being so draining on time just to get 3 stars of 72 needed. I don’t want to play anymore. I’m out

  • Love the game but….

    I don’t like EVER write reviews. I’m a reader not a writer, but I love this game! It’s cute, simple and it’s my own fun little world I get to explore and upgrade.

    The only problem is I was just playing the game when it suddenly kept freezing then unfreezing repeatedly. I refreshed it, deleted and redownloaded and even checked on other apps whether it was my phone or maybe my phone wasn’t compatible.

    The adds aren’t excessive and it’s a spectacular game but it’s just not working to the functionality it should on my phone. I’m going to try playing it on the iPad and we’ll see how it goes. :(

  • RESOURCE HOG!

    I have an 8th generation iPad with 128g ram and this game locked it up! Twice! I’m going to guess it’s because of all the Ads. This game is more accurately described as an ad stream with occasional game play. Every time you move it redirects to an ad. Plus, there is a running banner ad at the bottom. Then, in the game there are ad prompts EVERYwhere. I’ve never seen a developer so desperate! The gameplay and artwork are something I would expect from a beginning programming class. Maybe without so many ads and all the begging for money, this game might be suitable for a small child.

    My response to developers: It literally locks up a new iPad. The ads are just unbelievably numerous. You’ve made your game unplayable with them. The solution is to disconnect from Wi-Fi to let the kids play it. Without the ads, it is a clean game for kids though. Now that I’ve been able to see the game rather than just the ad stream I can see that there is no grotesque violence, bad language or sexual behavior. It doesn’t promote drugs, guns, sexism or beating up the elderly like some other games that are being marketed to children do. I’ll update to three stars for that.

    Hey! We're not huge fans of ads either, but we can't keep our game free without them. They help us develop new features, maintain the app, and release updates. We'd love it if you changed your mind. Come back soon!
  • REALLY good game but has a LOT of problems

    Short summary: Really good game. Extremely addictive and fun. Quite frequently lags and freeze soften, sometimes you have to close it to fix. Some ads don’t have an X button, forcing you to close. Some ads are very inappropriate

    Long description: it’s such a good game and I really enjoy it. Actually better than the ads. Would be a 5/5 if not for its extreme problems. Very often, for no reason, the game completely freezes for 5-15 seconds and sometimes it completely freezes forcing you to close and open again. Another problem, the ads. It barely gives you fixed ads but when it does, it’s really bad. A lot of the ads are unpredictable and a bit off. Some ads require to press multiple skip and X buttons before they work. Also some of the ads are really inappropriate. There are ones trying to convince you to buy some dodgy weight loss pill. Others want you to take a girls shirt off. Another is EXTREMELY inappropriate and shows taking off clothes of a sleeping girl with massive cleavage and such things.

    I’ll change my review when the game is fixed

  • Misleading

    I was Initially impressed with the infrequency of ads compared to the quality of the game, which is albeit pretty good. But as I played on the ads became more and more frequent, one every time you unlock a new tile (which is done a lot), one for every time you travel to a new area (again happens a lot) to name a few.
    Not to mention this game absolutely chews up phone performance. After a few minutes expect your phone to be hot enough to roast an egg.
    Over half my time playing this game is spent staring at an ad or at a frozen screen. I would have liked to give it a higher score because it is a fun game but it’s ruined by these very major pitfalls.
