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

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

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.

Great casual game but..

Been playing the game for a bit now and as far as casual games go, this one’s really good. I was looking for a simple/easy game I could just zone out on that didn’t require any real commitments or daily logins. This games been perfect for all that.
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

This game is incredibly addicting and so far I’m loving everything about it! I do have some minor complaints though. There are a few bugs. I’m only going to list them here incase the creators see this. For example if you have one skin set on your character it’s constantly reverting back to another skin whenever you travel to another planet/when you turn on the game. Other planets have a lot of lag or crash altogether when you are mining in certain caves. Boats are constantly disappearing on dimidium (I’m not sure if this is supposed to happen buts it’s pretty annoying to have to keep building boats) My only other complaint is how long it takes to receive tokens through the quests to open up the gates on wadirum. You can only get a max of 18 tokens if you complete every quests and some of the quests take ages to complete. It definitely slowed down my desire to want to complete the game and I wish the reward were bigger, especially if I’m going to spend an hour+ mining resources for 2-3 tokens. Other than that the game is relaxing and is pretty incredible for a free game

Escapism at its best

I love it! I love choosing goals like what tool to upgrade, what to unlock next, what material to collect etc. I love the simple style, relaxing music and satisfying sound effects and visuals of when you’re absolutely demolishing some trees or rocks. I love that there are enemies and they’ll actually fight each other?!! Haha

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.
Source: I have adhd and I’ve been hyperfocusing on it.

You can play 30 seconds straight without an ad

The gameplay is good, but the amount of forced Ads are revolting. $9.90 is too way expensive for this game to remove the ads. Stay away

Pretty good game

This game is really good it was made good and it was way longer than I thought. I thought it was just going to be a maybe 1 hour long game but it is much longer, some people may not like the grind but I find it interesting and fun to time it perfectly to by the time you get to the next patch of whatever resource you’re looking for it just pops up with no wait time. But I do have a few issues, one, WAY WAY WAY to many ads. I don’t want to watch a ad every time I unlock a new piece it dumb and annoying I know you want money but sheesh that’s way to much. And two I don’t know it’s just me but after a while of playing it starts to get really laggy and affects my entire phone until I completely close the app. So if you get rid of some of the ads or maybe have ways to lessen the number of ads and if the second problem isn’t just me fix that this would be a 5 star (ish) game.
