Great but big glitch

I love this game but I died of thirst when sleeping and know whenever I get on to the game my camp isn’t there and my character is gone

Fun until it randomly resets

This game was awesome- like staying up for hours playing awesome. Until I was pretty far into the lava level, I noticed that I had only a few selections on all of the producers (food, garden, drinks, etc) even though I had upgraded everything and had so many choices before. But the final “this app is getting deleted” thing was all of the obstacles that I had removed (like the boulders) were in place again. It reset for some reason. I considered starting over but figured this would happen again, so why waste the time? So, I would advise against downloading. It’s so sad to see all you’ve accomplished disappear.

Hi Maellery2011! Sorry to hear about the reset issue. Please reach out to our support team at https://help.netflix.com/en/contactus so we can investigate the issue. Thanks for your patience, and we hope to have you back in the game soon!

SO addicting!

Listen I am not a mobile game kind of person. I usually play a game for a bit then get tired of it and then delete. This game on the other hand has me totally addicted!! I’m actually so sad that I’m almost finished with it! 😩 It has wonderful graphics and sound. I’ve read a few other reviews and have to say the entire time I’ve played there has been no glitches or bugs! I’m assuming they have been fixed. Also, the support beams were most definitely found (to be honest I think that person was mad they couldn’t find them lol) But this game is so good and I’ll definitely be sad when I finish. I’ve played all the Dumb Ways To Die games and this is an awesome spin off!!

Perfect but please fix bugs

Review : I love this game and, it's so addicting. It's a perfect mix of sandbox game and adventure. This game is the prime example of a true offline game without in-game payments and ads. As I mentioned it's so addicting I can't stop playing and I need this bug fixed or else the game is unplayable Feedback: I just died and to a knight and after teleporting the the campsite the game won't let me respawn. A grayish black smoke appears and noob isn't there. I tried troubleshooting and deleting and reinstalling the app. I also tried shutting down my phone. I'm currently using an IPhone 12 pro max if it helps to fix the bug. I also have feedback for the game. After play for a while I realized that the pickaxes and weapons break too easily. And the movement speed is a tad too slow. I feel controllers should be supported with this game. Please take all of the above into consideration as well as fixing this bug. Thanks from a fellow player. Update: I went on a different device and downloaded the app and used the same account and booted the game. The bug’s still there, and if it helps I’m on IOS 17.5.1. Please fix. -Fellow Player

Bugs Make it Unplayable

This game was so fun for a few hours but then after getting through the river rapids I was unable to go any further in the game. The support beams were nowhere to be found. I googled to try and find them and found out that I had a suitcase where the support beams are supposed to be. I scoured every part of the game I had access to and couldn’t find them. I had the cable but without the beams I couldn’t build the bridge to progress any further in the game. I tried deleting all my progress and reinstalling the app to completely restart the game and still no support beams (just a suitcase). This is such a bad mistake that it makes the game unplayable. I have seen that other users have had similar problems, getting half way through the game only to find out they are missing crucial items to progress any further. I have also seen the developers claiming to update and fix these pretty big issues but the updates don’t fix the problem for many users. I hope they actually work these issues out because I would love this game if I could actually play it. Honestly not even mad anymore. Just disappointed.

My game is super glitched!!

I’ve been waiting on another update because after the last one my game glitched and bean died but got stuck at one of the safe spots without any of the options to walk or open inventory. I kept deleting and redownloading the game just hoping that something would happen. It did. It spawned back at camp with the heat wave effect permanent, my inventory was spread out, and the same thing was happening where I didn’t have any options to do anything like open settings or anything I can’t interact with anything. I can just hear noises and some of the animals move around. I love this game so bad but I can’t bear to start over I’ve made it to the castle in the highlands and I haven’t been able to play for the last couple of weeks

Frozen in place cannot respawn

I absolutely love this game. Very cute, easy to use, and challenging. While battling one of the ghosts who has a key, I was killed, and instead of respawning, I’m stuck watching the ghost scratch his head. A tombstone isn’t made, and my items just float around the confused ghost. I am hoping that something will be able to repair this in a future patch. I don’t want to delete and start over because this game is time consuming and I’m several biomes in. Please repair this.

Thanks for your understanding!

There is one problem…

I saw this game as I was scrolling on Netflix and though I should give it a try. Honestly was nothing that I was expecting but it was 10x better than what I thought it would be. I’ve non stop played this game for a few days until last night when I got killed and killed a monster at the same time and my game is completely glitched and keeps showing my gravestone and won’t do anything but that. I can’t even restart the game or anything although I’m in the castle round I’d rather restart then not have the game work but I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to lose my progress and I don’t want my game frozen. I’ve tried everything including restarting my phone, deleting then redownloading the game and backing out then back into it. I’m at a loss and don’t know what to do.

This was so much fun until …

I was having so much fun playing this game and made it all the way through the forest/swamp, desert, to the ice level, unlocked all the keycards and put the batteries in their place just to be killed by a yeti with a banjo. Now every time I open my game I am stuck on the yeti dancing with my items stuck around him. Update I ended up deleting save and starting all over again, just to be killed by the yeti again and the same glitch happening. I refuse to delete and restart again I’m so disappointed I wasted so much time getting there. I will now uninstall.

Frozen game

I really enjoy this game, but I can no longer play it. I died on one level and the game froze. I have reinstalled the game and still it loads up to the last screen where I died and I can’t reset the game. I can’t see my character just the background scene. I contacted. They told me to restart my phone re-download the app. Nothing has worked so this game is pretty much loose to me now. It is disappointing because it is a really fun game. I wish I can continue to play it.
