This isn’t a game, it’s an ad delivery package
The game-like aspect of this software starts off simply enough, but within a few minutes you will be bombarded by ads. Every new thing will first make you watch ads.
I wouldn’t have a problem if the ads were only for unlocking things faster, then it would be a personal choice. But tying almost every action or advancement to ads and then offering a paid option to get rid of the ads feels a lot like extortion. To make matters worse, half the time the ads don’t load properly, and then they have to reload, or they just leave the “game” hanging in a black screen. Then I have to quit the app and restart. The app also runs slow as a dead dog on my iPhone 7. I know it’s an older phone, but I have played lots of other recent games on this phone with no problems. But this attempt at an ad delivery service disguised as a game is very, very buggy and slow.
I only tried the game out because my son wanted to get it, and I wanted to see how it played and what types of ads show up before I let him download it. Needless to say, I will not let him waste his time on something so poorly coded.

So Much For Nothing…
I’ve had this game for only a few days and I’ve loved the heck out of it. It was easy to play with a building/collecting aspect for expansion, and the combat was simplistic, which made collecting and farming resources easy for me but still with a slight challenge. More than likely against my better judgement I spent somewhere near $30 towards progression in this game and completed planet 3 and unlocked planet 7(??). I was loving the game and everything it had to offer! I even got my gf into it! But whatever it is I did to deserve Karma I now regret, because I entered the portal to planet 7 for a look having just activated it with no problems. But when I returned the planet 3 and went to take the boat to the first island, it was there. I can get to the other mines from the mines on the second island because of lava. I can’t swim from the second island to the first because sharks will get me before I reach any shores. And there’s no way to call the boat over to the other side. I’m stuck on the second island with no way to get back. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not but I’d like to return

Fun game but has problems.
So first off let me say I do think this is a pretty entertaining game. I played it for quite a few hours each day for the first several days I had it. But here are my problems with this game. You basically have to watch ads to upgrade things or get enough resources. Kind of annoying but ok t’s a free game. You can pay to remove ads but it seems to expensive at $6 bucks considering there isn’t a ton of content. Aside from watching ads for resources they also just randomly pop up when you open up new tiles. Kinda annoying but ok. Another thing is that the game lags often when gathering resources or fighting several enemies. Kinda annoying but ok. I was willing to push through all those things until this next one kept happening. I would watch an ad, either by choice or random pop up, but then the ad would freeze and I could not return to the game. I would have to completely close the game and start it back up. Problem is is that it then starts you back at the beginning. It became a major pain. To much so that I didn’t want to play the game anymore. So for now I’m done. Fix some of these issues and I’ll give it another shot.

Could use some improvement
Personally I love the game, it's really fun at the beginning, it doesn't take too much effort to progress, or upgrade your tools. But it gets incredibly time consuming to upgrade your tools about mid game, with steel bars taking a long time to make. The time it takes to make complex materials like bars and planks is like a brick wall when it comes to progression. There are some materials you need a certain level tool to gain, and since these materials are used to further progress your world, unless you want to wait 20 minutes for things to be made, you're completely barred off from progressing any further. What I'd like to see in the future is being able to upgrade the crafting stations to craft faster, making things much less time consuming but just as fun. It's also been used in many games like this one, so it's not an unrealistic wish. I also do hope to see more updates in the future to make things feel a little bit easier to accomplish :)

Not bad but needs a lot of improvements
I’m not writing this for the developers because that’s not what these are for. Nothing EVER changes. I’m writing this for future players. I downloaded this game because it wouldn’t let Me play a mini game on the ad and I wanted to try it out. I fell in love with it. But the materials cost so much. 400 logs for a blank piece of land. And I’ve been building for 3 days and have yet to come across the green logs when there’s signs pointing in directions where there are no green logs. Just gold. And the emeralds you only get one every other swing and there’s stuff that costs 500 emeralds with only 3 or 4 chunks to swing at. Also the steel takes way too long. If u have 1k logs, 250 steel and 1k gems. It wants 1k logs 350 steel and 1k gems. So it takes all of your stock. This game needs a lot of improvements that will never get done. If you have a lot of time on your hands this game is for you.

The game is fun but it gets way too grindy
I’m going to be honest, judging by the ads that I saw I thought this was another piece of crap mobile game that took someone 30 minutes to make in unity that is riddled with ads, skins that cost real money, and sPeCiAl dEaLs that are a plague to the App Store. But after I downloaded it, I fell in love with it. I loved it’s simplistic gameplay, it’s satisfying nature, and the graphics. After a few days though, the game became less and less fun. And not just because after a bit the fun wears off but the game gets way too much of a grind to play that just makes it a chore to play and to build your world. Like everything costs so much material that I have to watch a bunch of ads to get supplies to that I don’t always have the ability to get or spend the next 15 minutes slowly getting enough supplies to add one square to the world. Also to upgrade your weapons, you need gold bars, gold coins, and steel bars and some other things but making steel bars take wayyyyyyy too long. And I don’t want to watch a million ads just so I can cut out down a tree. Overall, I loved the game but the keyword there is loved. I don’t like it anymore because it’s no longer the stress reliever that I used on breaks. It now adds to that stress and prevents me from enjoying that break so just don’t play it anymore.

Good game
Game is fun to play but don’t start the game without airplanes mode on. Without it game is not fun, ads every 4 minute, ads that crash the game and ads that don’t let you press the x.
Ads make a great game unplayable
I actually really enjoy 70% of this game. But the last 30% makes it unplayable for me - the ads. I would literally pay $10 for this game right now to make it ad free when the average game is only like $3.99
Fuuuuunnnn!!
Amazing game! Beat it already though. Please ad more levels 🙏
Get rid of ads
I would totally play this game and I would even watch ads for stuff. Too bad you ruined it with in prompted ads.
