Pretty much whenever you use the map. ### 3/5 — Great game but lost all my progress *2024-06-19* I loved this game and had gotten really obsessed with it. It has great gameplay and the little missions are fun to complete. However, once I got to Tundra, and got about halfway through, my saved game will not load anymore. It still shows a file but will not load anything and just stays on the main start screen. It is a shame because I put in a lot of time and effort and it really is too bad to lose all of that. I do not think I will be starting over. ### 5/5 — Great game, Great battery life *2024-04-03* Today I had an unexpectedly long wait for a minor surgery… on an empty stomach, thirsty, I was told that I would have to wait another four hours! I hadn’t played Crashlands in years, but I noticed there is a plus version now on arcade so I grabbed it. First of all, I noticed additional polish and additional features in the game that we were not there when I played originally. It passed the time really well. And as an added compliment, as someone with a computer, science background, and who knows that this game was built in GameMaker, the work that must’ve gone into optimizing it… well let’s just say I’m really appreciative because I was at 44% battery on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and two hours later I was still at 18%. And as a sidenote, butterscotch shenanigans are great guys.. I know this because I once reached out to them with a game maker/computer science question (the data structures utilized) and I got a great answer which helped with my own endeavours at the time. Easy five star here, and honestly, even though the game looks a bit quirky in the first few minutes, it’s totally worth giving an hour and you’ll probably be hooked too. ### 5/5 — Sorry about that review *2024-03-02* My last review said about picking up crafting stations I just found out how to sorry ### 5/5 — Best Game I Ever Played! *2024-02-05* Wow. How did you guys do this, it’s a amazing game! I love how you merge story and gameplay, it’s really good. I love the survival aspect of it! There are a few things that would be good to add, but you don’t have to: 1. Please make it easier to find squee barrels in savanna biome because a lot of important things use them. Or maybe more recipes that take squee, like a squee health potion? 2. It would be nice if there was were more bosses and story after you finish the game, because it get’s a little boring after a while. 3. Make eggs easier to find. Sometimes it’s really hard to get a monster egg, but I came up with a solution to it. But for the beginners? Thanks for reading this, I love your game! Please make more like this amazing gem. ### 5/5 — A plus! *2024-01-10* In a world where everyone seems to be making 3d games it is a treat to find a game that doesn’t make me sick! Plenty of game play on this one! Three different areas to explore. It can be played with the story or without. With the story you can die many, many, many times (and I have) Without the story you have limited number of deaths. I’ve been playing for days (like a kid with his first atari {go ask your grandpa})and have yet to finish it. Developers, if you are reading this, THANKS! Go treat yourselves to a frozen custard, this is a great game!!! ### 5/5 — Wow *2023-05-29* This is honestly one of the best games I have ever played on IPhone. So addicted! Well done developers 👌🏽 ### 4/5 — Crash *2023-03-16, version 100.0.117* This game is great, but once I got to the part of the tundra story, the app has an error and crashes. ### 2/5 — Text tiny *2023-02-21, version 100.0.117* Might be good I don’t know. Text was so small I quit 30 seconds in ### 1/5 — Sadge *2023-01-13, version 100.0.117* Was so hype for this when i first started playing, but as you progress you realize that the seemingly small flaws in combat in the beginning turn into glaring issues later on. Every boss enemy will one shot you unless you over level your armor, the hit boxes are scuffed leaving you dead from an obvious miss far too often, and being forced to use melee only for a while forces you to play hit and run while you pray rng kicks in and you get a stray weapon effect to shorten the fights. Not to mention the countless times where i’ll be soloing a boss and enemies from 100 feet away somehow agro on me. This game has a lot of potential, but in the end falls short due to some damning mechanics. ## Frequently asked questions about Crashlands+ ### What is Crashlands+?
