Love the game and the creators

First of all the game at least to me is very fun and a great game to have going on in the background while doing something else. The main reason I truly love this game so much is seeing how the creators of the app are handling the big jump in players in there game and giving updates to the players of how things are going. Just makes me love the game more.

Promising

This game is simple. I love that I donโ€™t have to check on it throughout the day. There are bugs to be ironed out, but the developers are very active and responsive on their Discord server. I canโ€™t wait to see future updates!

Thought you were sneaky huh

Advanced crafting and gathering mechanics are stolen straight from final fantasy XIV online. They are an exact copy. The mechanics are exactly the same. They are an EXACT MATCH. They are not โ€œuniqueโ€ as advertised. Seems kind of low to rip off an idea and call it unique.

Art is alright, gameplay is shallow even for an idle game. โ€œWhat are you supposed to do/work towards after crafting equipment that helps you craft and gather more/better/faster?โ€ Nothing, thatโ€™s it. Thats the whole game. Very empty.

Amazing

So much potential just waiting in the future of this game. Loving the journey and the community so far. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

finally a mobile game worth playing

i struggle to find games that I enjoy on mobile, especially with ad integration that isnt annoying. This game defies that. U get 6hrs of double xp for watching a 30s ad; so only 4 ads in a 24hr period, perfectly reasonable imo. Gameplay is fairly barebones rn and shares some similarities with FFXIVโ€™s crafting and gathering systems, but many features and systems are planned in their roadmap. Servers can sometimes get crowded and cause advanced rotations to slow down but the devs have been extremely active in the discord and work on server issues promptly. Finally something that I can enjoy while doing something else on the side. I realize there are other games that do the same thing but the simple ui and aesthetic do it for me. Hoping this game succeeds in the long run.

A great start

I love idle games, but this one really scratches the itch. My favorite part of RPGs is always crafting and hunting for supplies so this game is perfect. Are there bugs? Oh absolutely, but the discord and devs seem active and determined to keep the development going so Iโ€™m happy to keep plugging away. Definitely get in on this game before it passes you by!

Dumb Sign In

Youโ€™re probably losing hundreds of players by requiring them to Sign In with Apple ID FYI

Response from developer

Hi, the reason we're only using Apple ID is to prevent players making multiple alts very easily. We know it's still possible but it's a much bigger barrier than using Email, Google etc.

Sadly unplayable

The constant refreshing due to what I can only assume is the server disconnecting happens constantly. Even making a character I had to start over 30+ times due to refresh, if I wasnโ€™t frantically trying to see all of the options before I had to re enter my name for the nth time I would appreciate the pixel art. Please figure out how to fix this, it happens almost every five seconds and I actually want to play this game.

Bug

The game looks nice, but every time I try to do something always come back to the first menu and doesnโ€™t let me gather anything or actually do anything. Fix it please

Itโ€™s neat

Itโ€™s a neat game, but the always online part of it makes it not good. Even with good internet you still have issues. You will try and craft something and it wonโ€™t register, or if you cancel your gathering it wonโ€™t register. It also takes like a minute to switch around, and when you finally do switch you lose connection and have to start over what you were doing
