Addictive. Yet…
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….
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!
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
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

Hi! Thanks for sharing your opinion! Our game remains free thanks to ads, which allow us to continue developing, maintaining, and updating the game. We hope you understand and come back soon!
Misleading
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.

Great casual game but..
However the games not worth playing unless you have 6$ to spend to go the ad free route. I did get it and I don’t regret it so far but, the sheer amount of ads the game throws at you and forces you into kinda ruins the game you’ve made. People don’t even get a chance to enjoy or get a feel for the game to decide if they want to invest in the game before being shoved into an ad every 3 moves.
So, if you like resource gathering, simple exploration/combat, something easy to zone on and have 6$ to go ad free? It’s a great game to waste time or distract yourself with. However if you’re trying to play as a free player the games gonna be more frustrating and annoying.
This game is amazing but does have some bugs
Escapism at its best
Possible downsides:
Ads for unlocking areas and especially upgrading weapons are annoying. When I’m excited about my cool black axe that looks like a bat I don’t want an ad to ruin the moment of truth :(( I’d rather have one at the beginning and optional ones for supplies.
Options to sell the bear meat or just something to do with it?? Because they keep attacking me when I’m trying to mine rocks so I can’t avoid them and I have so much of it that no one buys :( adding an eating system would be cool to restore health or add speed or strength if you eat enough maybe.
I think the tool upgrade isn’t spaced out enough, I’ll have to go from 6 to 9 and not have time to use the ones in the middle because it’s “required.” (The black tools look the best btw).
An option to buy materials makes sense, since you can sell them.
More characters in the game that you can interact with rather than just enemies!
Great game.
