Unplayable

Rave reviews but doesnโ€™t actually support controllers. Primary reason I got Apple Arcade was to play this game with a controller. disappointing to find it unplayable and see all the bugs it has with a controller paired.

Fun but sad

Please Bring Donโ€™t Starve Together to AppStore

Love the game in the beginning it was quite frustrating but figuring and discovering everything out during each new run/life is amazing!! Please add Donโ€™t Starve Together!! Even if the multiplayer doesnโ€™t work on the iPad Iโ€™ll love to play the new version!!

DRAT

Horrible I downloaded this addition and the other but it just pushed me out every time thought Iโ€™ve played it on my phone and it was a great game.

Needs ps5 Bluetooth controller support, the controls donโ€™t work

I get that you guys want to to make your revenue by making us try the first 1$ game then move on to the monthly payments game only to find out that itโ€™s a ๐Ÿชค, unaware brain rot kids will then want a Xbox or pc witch they will then buy donโ€™t starve together and then leads to them buying in game items so I get that the two pocket edition games are basically adds for the actual donโ€™t starve together game that starts the long journey to get it for those who start from the start but their has to be a better way to go about this, i know creators have to make revenue but damn itโ€™s a crazy way you guys went about it. Guess I have to quit now.๐Ÿฅ€๐Ÿฅ€๐Ÿฅ€

Controller support needs to be fixed.

Played the game a long time ago with touch and it was good. I was excited to try it with a controller for ease of movement and having a screen clear of my fingers. The controller is not supported very well. Lots of bugs. I can attack things with a button and move around with the stick but you canโ€™t pick anything up with a button. Itโ€™s like half controller / half touch which is annoying. All other controller input seems to go to inventory. 5 minutes of that and Iโ€™m uninstalling. Touch is fine for the game but thatโ€™s not what brought me back to the game to try it again. Looking online, it seems to be a long standing/ ongoing issue that they donโ€™t address.

Potential with Bad Execution

It is easily the buggiest game I have played and the controls are bad, but I can see it being fun to play (with replayability) if those things werenโ€™t an impediment.

Great Pocket Game

The game is great and Iโ€™d give it 5 stars but it glitches and the screen will blackout without loading and cause you to loose your saved game.

PS4 controller doesnโ€™t work

Every button works except for the X button pls fix it

No Longer Working

Just hangs indefinitely when starting to retrieve Cloud Save data. Unable to progress.

No controller support

Just because you put an image of a controller in the settings doesnโ€™t mean the game has controller support. Has any dev actually tested it?

Is dis Minecraft

I love this game it is so good it is just like Minecraft

Too many bugs

The menu is super glitchy my saved games wonโ€™t load it keeps a black screen

Controller support broken

Love the game on pc. Hate the game on iPad. I donโ€™t want to hold my iPad while playing.

Fix controller support

New weapon suggestion

This is a AWESOME game, but thereโ€™s 1 thing Iโ€™d like to be added: bows and arrows. Like, thereโ€™s no cheap way to get ranged weapons
mainly because feathers only have a %50 drop chance when birds die and reeds are in one biome and are not relocatable so itโ€™s hard to get blow darts it would be nice to have cheap ranged weapons a bow should be crafted at a science machine and cost 2rope 5twigs and 1grass maybe there could be a armor slot for amulets and quivers which should be crafted with 3 pig skin and 3 rope and could give you 2 storage which can only hold arrows which should be craft with 2 sticks 1 rope and 2 flint to get 5 arrows. Maybe even they can have some varietyโ€™s like thulecite , sleep , poison (maybe with red caps) and fire. So thatโ€™s my suggestion for a good weapon
Also, why does it show Wagstaff? He cannot be played in game despite the video also I need DST and the other dlcโ€™s in arcade.

Problem with gamepad

Problemy with controlling with gamepad

Glitch with saving progress

The game is really fun and addictive. The only thing Iโ€™m disappointed about is constantly losing progress and having to start at Day 1 every time I die. Even if I save my progress on day 14 and die, Iโ€™ll have to start all over which limits the playing potential.
