### 3/5 — Good game, but…

*2026-08-11, version 1.8.7*

I would have bought this game, I was really enjoying it, however, it made my iPad so hot that I realized I should uninstall it. Too bad.

### 3/5 — Level 19?

*2026-08-10, version 1.8.7*

Has anyone made it past level 19 when the boat appears you give it gas and the hunter tells you no more tasks to complete?

### 2/5 — Needs a map

*2026-01-10, version 1.8.7*

Game is ok but really need a map to remind us where each resource is located

### 3/5 — データ消去された

*2025-09-10, version 1.8.7*

久しぶりに開いたらめちゃくちゃ進めてたデータが消されて最初からにされた。
楽しく時間掛けでやってた分、すごく腹立たしい。

### 3/5 — Проблема с прохождением второй локации

*2025-07-18, version 1.8.6*

При завершении второй локации, больше не отображаются никакие задания, горит только стрелка над хижиной, что делать дальше ?

### 2/5 — Баги

*2025-07-18, version 1.8.6*

Дошел во втором сюжете до катера, заправил его и все, дальше просто горит стрелка над хижиной
Решил заново перепройти, после обновления невозможно заложить динамит, чтобы выйти из пещеры! Стрелка горит, а действий никаких нет! Пофиксите баги!

### 1/5 — Второй сюжет

*2025-07-10, version 1.8.6*

Заплатила за отключение рекламы и на тебе, во втором сюжете стрелка над хижиной, задания нет, хоть лопни в хижине ничего не происходит. Ну спасибо!

### 1/5 — Dommage

*2025-07-07, version 1.8.6*

Le jeu aurait pu être intéressant s’il n’avait pas été saccagé par les développeurs. Dès les 40 premières secondes de tuto, on vous a infligé une pub non skippable, proposé 2 fois de dépenser des cristaux pour aller plus vite, proposé 2 fois de regarder une pub pour avoir des ressources, proposé d’acheter un anti pub…
Tant de travail jeté à la poubelle, félicitations

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2025-07-03, version 1.8.6*

I too have reached a point in the game where I can not access the next mission. It has been several months since this problem arose so I’m going to assume that the devs have given up on doing any updates or continuing with this fun game. It’s a shame too because I’ve really enjoyed playing this one but I guess that’s typical of the mobile gaming experience. 🤷🏻‍♂️

### 1/5 — Stuck at Swamp, update erased save

*2025-06-26, version 1.8.6*

Been playing for a couple days now and got to the swamp part where after you fuel the boat the game glitches and you can’t get on the boat. 

Was hoping update would fix but instead it erased my game and the hours of grinding. Money wasted, how do I get a refund?

### 1/5 — Сбросился прогресс

*2025-06-25, version 1.8.6*

Игра затягула, мне понравилось. НО! Неожиданно вдруг она сбросилась на ноль. Все началось с начала и сбросился весь мой большой прогресс!!!! Сначала начинать не собираюсь, удалила. И да, рекламы моооре, но играла на авиарежиме)

### 1/5 — 資料都不見了

*2025-06-25, version 1.8.6*

The game data is missing.

### 1/5 — Игра началась сначала!

*2025-06-25, version 1.8.6*

После вчерашнего обновления игра началась сначала! Прогресс утерян! Очень плохо и жаль! Что мне делать?

### 1/5 — Oh wow.

*2025-06-25, version 1.8.6*

Was loving this game, even bought no ads because I was super enjoying it: then this morning when I went to play; I’m back at level one !!!! I was level 12 and it took me ages to get there and I’m super angry.

### 3/5 — They stopped updating it & won’t fix the glitch

*2025-06-21, version 1.1.85*

A really great game until you complete the 2nd world (swamp). There is a glitch that you cannot progress to the next world & they won’t fix it. Or respond.

### 3/5 — 광고제거…

*2025-06-17, version 1.1.85*

광고제거 샀는데 제거가 안되네여..

### 4/5 — Stuck

*2025-06-16, version 1.1.85*

I love this game, but now I’m stuck in the swamp and can’t move on! There’s some kind of glitch or something, the arrow I need to goto is literally stuck in the wall.

### 1/5 — Баги

*2025-05-31, version 1.1.85*

Элементарно в начале игры не могу починить самолет, тупо не выходит кнопка, что бы починить.

### 1/5 — Lừa đảo

*2025-05-28, version 1.1.85*

Mua gói bỏ qua quảng cáo vẫn phải xem quảng cáo, đcm lừa đảo

### 1/5 — Constant bugs

*2026-03-10, version 1.8.7*

Last time I played I had to stop due to not being able to progress , I reinstalled the game 6 months later - started from scratch and now the same thing - you get to the boat but can’t refuel as the icon to do so is locked to inside the cabin and there is no way to complete the task :/

### 1/5 — لعبة كلها إعلانات

*2025-09-26, version 1.8.7*

مستحيل تلعب وانت مرتاح كل شوي اعلان تخلص من اعلان تدخل في اعلان

### 1/5 — 進めない

*2025-08-13, version 1.8.6*

lv 20から進めなくなった。アップデートを待ってほっておいたら、最初からリセットされた。修正されたのかと思って、進めたが同じ位置で進めなくなった。すっごい不満感が残るゲーム

### 1/5 — ショック

*2025-07-30, version 1.8.6*

アプデ待ちだったのに、久々に開いたらデータ消えて最初からになった😇

### 1/5 — 廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告

### 1/5 — The game wasted my time and is not good.

The game wasted my time and is not good.

### 1/5 — Remise à zéro

*2025-07-22, version 1.8.6*

Alors que j’étais bloqué au niveau du derrick à pétrole voilà qu’aujourd’hui je dois recommencer le jeu à zéro, merci au développeurs qui programment avec leur pieds et ne sont pas capables de sortir un jeu qui tienne la route. Je désinstalle… pour pouvoir jouer à un autre jeu qui lui sera jouable.

### 1/5 — Reklam

*2025-07-20, version 1.8.6*

Reklam reklam reklam

### 5/5 — 챕터2에서 안되는 이유

*2025-09-18, version 1.8.7*

보트 타는 위치가 산장 밑에 깔려있어서 산장에 막혀서 지나가지를 못해서 그 위에 서지를 못해서 다음 챕터로 못 넘어가는거임. 업데이트를 해서 위치조정 수정이 필요함.

### 5/5 — _

*2025-05-18, version 1.1.85*

โฆษณาเยอะเกินไป

### 5/5 — Fun but gone…

*2025-04-28, version 1.1.85*

I wish they would bring this game back. It was really fun. I am disappointed that they haven’t stopped it.

### 5/5 — Annoying

*2025-03-09, version 1.1.85*

Be prepared for some of the worst ad smacking you’ve ever been hit with. it’s made to make you pay

### 5/5 — ตรงปก

สนุกมากกกกกก

### 5/5 — 面白いが、

*2025-02-06, version 1.1.85*

普通に楽しめます
コツコツやっていけるかたなら楽しめるはず
広告は仕方ないかな
管理　維持
この手のゲームは広告でなりたっているのがほとんどだし

### 5/5 — Ottimo gioco

*2025-01-12, version 1.1.85*

Bel gioco

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-12-09, version 1.1.85*

Good

### 5/5 — No new things to do

*2024-11-30, version 1.1.85*

I’ve been loving this game. It’s not giving me as much anxiety as other games have. I love the graphics, I like having the extras to do and not having to wait around for next steps. 
I’m currently at the boat house, I’ve collected gas and put it on the boat. Now there’s a spot that I can’t get to next to the boat house and there are no other directions on what to do next. Help!

### 5/5 — Супер

*2024-11-28, version 1.1.85*

Мне понравилось освещение, очень мягкое и динамичное
