I maxed the campfire then it stopped assigning me tasks so I can’t continue in the game. I’ve tried using the app support button but the people at the other end aren’t associated with the game. The link they sent me to use to contact the correct people doesn’t work. I’m at the end of the rope waiting for help. Frustrating knowing I’ve spent about 50 days on a game I can’t complete.. if anyone out there can help please do. (I changed to 3 stars because even though I can’t go any further I did enjoy the first 50 days. I’ve read other reviews and many people have same issues. For those who say things like costs too much money or takes days to build that is on them. You have choices, nothing costs money unless you want it too and you are given choices on speed of most interactions. It’s a puzzle to decide your priorities in the game. Anyway, at around 65 your done. 3 more buildings to go at 67 then game over. You can’t do last buildings without spending because once you max camp fire you can’t earn bonus bucks anymore. But. I thing more to game from there. Wish you all luck, I’m done.) ### 3/5 — Within an hour … *2022-12-05, version 2022.4* So I thought I’d try it. I had my eye on a beautiful one that may have too much battling, raiding and planning for me whereas I just want to build pretty villages and progress through time. This isn’t it. Ugly people, strange time warping, only vague about how to earn coins -food is cooked yet they never eat, workshops built but they only chop wood and fetch water. Within an hour my coins and bucks were randomly decreasing in number. Why not increasing? ### 2/5 — Could have been wonderful but now I’ve deleted it *2022-09-19, version 2022.4* Like other reviewers have mentioned, this game has such great potential. The graphics are well done and has such a nice, casual feel. And now after a week I’m deleting it. Why? Everything is a money grab, storms hit way too often and break your buildings which you have to repair which takes time… don’t wanna wait? Pay us. This building takes 5 days to upgrade. Don’t wanna wait? Pay us. Time after time you get hit with increasingly long wait times which in the end is structured to buy IAP’s. I would rather pay 5 dollars outright than be nickel and dimed time after time. Games structured like this show absolutely no respect for the player. Incredibly disappointed and I’m so glad I didn’t waste money buying Nubucks. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2022-07-30, version 2022.2* Has potential. A bit frustrating as it just seems to storm all the time, damaging/destroying a building, which takes 1-2 hours to repair and you can't use it during that time. I usually have 3 buildings being repairs at a time. Menus are a bit annoying too. Keeps showing 250+ red numbers on my building button meaning I can build that many, but I can't, either because I am not the appropriate level, I don't have the prerequisite building, or the right resources so the number is useless. Menus are a little slow. Otherwise it's a pretty decent game. ### 2/5 — Buggy 🥴 *2022-07-17, version 2022.2* Yeah there are so many bugs. Sometimes it will double click on something when you tap it so you accidentally purchase something. Also tried to discard a task at the campfire so many times and EVERYTIME it deletes the task under it. There’s also been a few times where the time progression of a task never moves and I need to pay to finish it. One time I paid to finish a task and when I went back on a few hours later, it was BACK. At least this time the time progression worked though 😐. Overall pretty buggy, but the gameplay is nice when you don’t wanna invest too much time in a game. Also collecting wood is annoying. ### 3/5 — Quit stealing my stuff *2022-07-06, version 2022.2* Been playing Eden for roughly a week and it’s a fun game but I have a few problems. Wood is an absolute necessity but it frustrates me that I can’t collect more than five at a time. Another thing is the campfire tasks. I try to make stuff that I can both use for building upgrades and complete the tasks at the same time. But whenever I check it off of the vampire tasks it takes it from my store house. Causing me to start all over again. I’m so frustrated by this mechanic that I’ve nearly quit doing campfire tasks entirely. Please fix this ### 2/5 — Has potential but lots of bugs *2022-06-12, version 2022.2* This is a fun game, I wish there was more to do in the game, more buildings, more activities. There are a lot of bugs, with the achievements some can’t be completed like building more than one campfire, I’ve build the small fire decorations and those don’t count, you only have the option for the one main campfire. Sometimes the time just stops ticking down on actions. When you spin the game hut wheel you only actually get the thing you land on sometimes. Here’s to hoping they fix some bugs and add new levels, the game is pretty pointless after like lvl 70, it would be cool to be able to sculpt the land and have more land to work with ### 3/5 — Pay to Play *2022-05-14, version 2022.2* This game is great and has fantastic potential as a survival world building game. Aside from the not to much survival aspect, just the world building part is great. However, things take way too long and sadly it’s pay to play. Can not watch ads to cut down time, or finish things that are long. You need money to build everything even with the necessary supplies, and it’s almost just as hard to get money as the golden money. Best pay to play. ### 2/5 — Timing is off *2022-04-19, version 2022.1* In-world, you go through multiple days in one real life 24 hour period. This wouldn’t be a problem except that tasks take real-world hours to complete, meaning it takes one villager an entire “day” to complete one task. And you get a storm every “day,” which means multiple storms in one real-world day and EVERY storm destroys at least one building, but usually two or three, and it puts your building completely out of commission for that time. I’ve repaired my carpenter’s hut 3 times today. That’s 6 real-world hours. At one point I set the game to repair a building right before I went to bed so that it would be fixed when I woke up. As soon as I opened the game again, I was in the middle of another storm that immediately destroyed the same building. It’s pretty clear that they make it frustrating so that you’ll spend money to speed things up. I’d rather just buy the game outright and only have to deal with one storm in a real-life 24 hour period. ### 3/5 — Too many storms! *2022-04-12, version 2022.1* Or they are too likely to break things. As soon as I fix one thing, two more break. Real life is frustrating like that; I don’t need it in a game. Or if it only took a few minutes to fix things, that would be better, but it takes hours! And you can’t do anything with that building in the meantime. I think you’re supposed to be able to still do things with that building, and it will just take longer, but that’s not how it works. It just asks if you want to pay to speed up the repair. Other than that, it’s pretty fun. I haven’t decided yet if the constant need to fix things is a dealbreaker. It does make it really hard to make progress, and making progress on things is the point of the game. ### 3/5 — Ok - too many repairs & slow moving *2022-03-19, version 2022.1* Constantly I’m required to do a repair on a building post storm which results in me not having enough people to do other work It’s an ok game - very slow moving and easy to understand I play in between other games Graphics are great & so much potential- but takes forever to build up coin to grow Like that it’s a single player with no monsters or killing if people ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2022-03-05, version 2022.1* I played this game for several months in the row. All thanks to very slow pace, forever long timers for building and upgrading things, and way too frequent cases where you need to repair what you have built. But i got over it. I grew to like it with all the imperfections. And at lvl 65 i hit the ceiling that feels like a bug, where there are no longer tasks at campfire, except one where i need to build a decoration piece, that cost me silver coins to build, but there is no way to earn silver without tasks, other than daily reward or spinning wheel. And those two sources will take another month or two to get me to the amount needed for that one tasks. There is only two buildings left that i can upgrade at my level, and they require even more silver. I was hoping, that leveling up will unlock more tasks, and i started grinding xp by harvesting and scavenging. Hit lvl 66, still no changes to the situation… there are definitely more achievements to be gained, but i honestly don’t see how it would be possible to accomplish with what situation i am given. Here is the worst part. When you think you can get some developer support, you are led to some TV channel web site. Not even sure what that is all about. But there is nothing on that site I found that would indicate anything to do with this game. So we are left with no help. Nobody to complain or talk to. I am so disappointed. Fix the game. Or soon you will have nobody left to play it. ### 3/5 — Room for Improvement *2022-01-29, version 2021.8* This game is great so far but if I thought it was going to stay this way, I would probably give it up right now. The storms are waaaaay too often and the time it takes to fix is too long. If I have a storm every 10 min and the damage from it takes an hour and a half when can I use my building? I completely agree about the people and time on the trade missions, both are unreasonable. I agree with everything that the old dude from Aug said and here it is still like that going on Feb so I’m keeping hope alive. ### 2/5 — Gorgeous, BUT *2022-01-28, version 2021.8* This is one of the most high-potential-but-most-disappointing-execution games I’ve ever played. The animation is beautiful and surprisingly complex, the world is textured and interesting in a way that makes me want to explore it, and the mechanical framework is rich and varied and promises hours of fun with complex strategic resource management. But all of that is smashed to bits by being hidden behind a nonsensical and confusing multi-currency system designed to force you into a cycle of microtransactions. You can barely get through the tutorial before you run into what is effectively a very pretty paywall - every mechanism for moving the game forward requires a bonkers arbitrary pricetag from a currency that you can only earn by scrimping coins from gathering quests that last tens of minutes. “Of course,” they say, “if you just want to pay us you can skip all that nonsense.” And, I suppose, if that’s what you want, this could be an engaging game for you. As for me, I prefer when they just make you pay up front rather than trying to manipulate you into it. It’s not worth it to me to wait hours to get through any of the content. That’s too much like real life. ### 3/5 — Too many storms *2022-01-05, version 2021.8* I would probably give this game 5 stars if it weren’t for the constant storms that come through and destroy the buildings I’ve built. It happens multiple times every hour. When a storm destroys your building/farm/animal enclosure you have to wait 1.5-3.5 hours for them to be repaired before you can use them. If the building was in use, the progress is paused until you repair the building. I tried setting up 9 hour tasks to run while I slept, but when I woke up the next morning they had been paused because a storm had come through. Then I had to wait 2 hours to repair it, just to unpause the previous task. The storms make this too frustrating at this point. ### 3/5 — Needs changes *2021-12-17, version 2021.7* Cool game however, i dont understand survival games that allow you to make coins or some form of in game currency that is required to advance the game. Who makes this currency in the game, who is getting paid this currency and why are these survivors trying to build a camp so worried about having a currency. I would argue that the coin price to upgrade things makes no sense for a survival game. Thank you for your time. ### 2/5 — If you’re ok with unfair and illogical, it’s great! *2021-10-06, version 2021.6* Welcome to Eden, where hurricanes happen every five minutes, efforts to repair the damage take RL hours, upgrades take RL days (not kidding) and you’re invited… not to create civilization from scratch as the ads would have you envision, but to cater to an imaginary bunch of hippies building a commune (apparently in the most hurricane prone part of some planet) ostensibly to get away from western-style civilization, only to pine for the comforts that civilization once offered them. A colossal time waster, and if you’re into unfair games, unending illogic and unsolvable problems (unless you dump money into it; the underlying theme of the game clearly is: “money solves everything”) this is your new fave. Bleak, masochistic and unsatisfying. ### 2/5 — Too many storms *2021-09-26, version 2021.6* WAYYY too many storms. They destroy your buildings and you have to spend hours repairing them. In the mean time you can’t craft in those buildings. The storms ONLY damage the buildings you need excessively. Every storm my carpenters hut is destroyed. 2 hours repairing it and 20 minutes I can use it before another storm destroys it. Unbalanced. It’s not “natural randomness” it’s targeted randomness meant to get you to buy the special currency to speed things up or to watch ads. Potential, but not worth it with their tricky ways. Gonna put this game on the back burner and see if anything is fixed in the next update ### 4/5 — Good but downsides *2021-09-23, version 2021.6* I love this game. This game is very fun. It’s different but crafty and like a survival game. The quests, and building times for certain things are way to long though. Most of the time you’re not able to play due to the wait times. One of the first builds you have to do is 16 hours which seems unreasonable to upgrade a building to level two. Anyways I love the game but the wait times are kind of ridiculous. I’ve uninstalled and installed this game a lot. The reason for uninstalling is due to me losing interest with the wait times. ### 3/5 — It’s a great game, but almost unplayable. *2021-08-04, version 2021.5* I’m an older gamer and I realize that this is how it’s done today but I’m stubborn and I’m gonna complain. So in order to play this game you either spend money or watch more ads than your actual game play. Give us the option to purchase this game and I’ll be all over it. I do feel like the developers need to balance the game a bit more. I’ve been playing for about a week and I only have 10 people. I already have multiple goals to trade with others but it takes 10 people and they will be tied up for an entire 24 hour period, but of course you can spend money to speed this up, which I refuse to do. Let me be clear that this quest takes all my people and durning the real time 24 hour period I can’t do anything to the camp while they are gone. Which brings me to the storms, which are way too often. So you have these storms that blow in and damage supposedly random buildings (which always seems to mostly be either the workshop, carpenter, or fish hut). They happen way too often. You have to repair the buildings before you can use them again which takes anywhere between 1-2 hours. I had 3 buildings under repairs due to previous multiple storms and had another two blow in damaging even more buildings before I could get the first building repaired. Bottom line it’s a good game, but in my opinion it needs more balancing and the option to purchase the game outright which should drastically reduce the times with no ads. ### 3/5 — Good but needs work *2021-07-21, version 2021.4* This has a lot of potential. I feel like they need to make some things better. I feel as though the storms are terrible. The concept is great but I eventually had like half of my buildings completely destroyed within a few times of playing. Also, I don't see the purpose of a kitchen since no one eats the food I make. Also, it would be nice to customize the people I have. Some of the items you make don't seem to serve any purpose. I wish there was an easier way to get coins because you eventually run out. The wait times can be pretty long. Good game overall and cool to play. ### 3/5 — Missing Nubucks *2021-06-17, version 1.4.4* I have absolutely loved this game and have been playing for over a month now. The graphics are cute and the game play is nice. However, some things take a crazy amount of time. For example, every community center upgrade takes 5 days and trading takes a large amount of time but I’ve never gotten anything I actually needed to fill the objectives. I’m very frustrated though because over the course of a month I accumulated over 170 nubucks. I just opened my game and all of them are gone but 30. Nothing was sped up, I didn’t accidentally buy any decor or buildings, and I didn’t buy any coin. I’m not able to find a support tab or anything, but I doubt this will be able to be fixed regardless. This is extremely frustrating as it takes awhile to get to that point and they just disappeared. This is not the only glitch I have experienced either. Overall, I like the game a lot and I will probably continue to play. However, there are some frustrating glitches that should probably be taken care of. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A game that punishes you for playing. *2022-05-10, version 2022.2* Storms. While you play this game, a storm will definitely occur after only a couple minutes of playtime. Each storm damages a crucial building. For example, if your workshop is damaged, you have to wait for it to be repaired until you can build items you need to progress in this game. You can, of course, use this game’s premium currency to rush the repair time. However, the frequency of these storms that damage buildings make it impossible to save the premium currency if you want to enjoy this game. The only potential way around this is to quickly log on, start building stuff, and exit the game. But even then you can start the game and a storm is occurring, damaging buildings. The game developers either want your money, or just don’t want you to play their game. With such a mind boggling game mechanic, you are far better off uninstalling. Stay far away from this game. ### 1/5 — Could be good, but too tedious *2021-08-14, version 2021.5* The storms, which happen about every ten minutes, utterly ruin this game. And people have been complaining about this for years (in these reviews) and they haven’t fixed it yet. A player could’ve just spend 2 hours fixing a building after a storm destroyed it, only to have it immediately destroyed again - while also rebuilding or upgrading 2 or 3 others, wasting time and resources. I have no idea why the developers would design the game like this. You barely have the ability to create any of the fun things in the game. Also, the wait time for some of the buildings is ridiculous- it’s going to take 5 days to upgrade one of my buildings. Honestly, I probably won’t even be playing the game by then. I’m always on the search for a great world building simulator, sadly this isn’t it. ### 1/5 — Meh *2021-03-01, version 1.4.2* It’s an okay game, been removing two medium forests for 2 days now if you would fix that it would be nice also, some of the buildings take forever to get the supplies to upgrade then and when the storm comes and destroys buildings why is it right after you repair them and another storm hits I have repair them. I spend most of my time repairing building than actually getting stuff done. And storage is a major problem I don’t have enough space to do all the task in the campfire and with the campfire why do I have tasks that I can’t even do because I don’t have the building yet. Update: I lost 90 NuBucks out of no where. I closed my app and got back in a couple hours later and I only had 5. ### 1/5 — I agree with others, the developers got greedy *2020-03-22, version 1.4.1* The storms are the worst part of this game. The game does have a lot of potential. And like so many other building games, once you level up a few times, you have to spend several hours, if not days, waiting for upgrades. But storms come every 15 minutes and destroy buildings, which then take 1-2 hours to repair. A storm wiped out a building, I spent 2 hours repairing it, then 15 minutes later a storm wiped it out again. A serious flaw. I understand that developers need to make many, that’s why all of these apps say “in app purchases” now, but this game is over the top with hurdles. ### 1/5 — Beautiful but way too slow *2020-02-10, version 1.4.1* This game is pretty. But that’s about it. You get a few people and a few buildings to start. I’ve been playing for about a week now a few times a day, and it seems every time I try to play, a rainstorm comes through and destroys all of my buildings. All of my people are stuck for a few hours to days repairing the buildings over and over again. I hardly ever have people free to do anything else. So I’m not really upgrading or anything. Just staying in the same stuck spot all week. I’ll probably delete this game after writing this review. There are a lot more that are way more interesting, and you actually can do something with building a play land, but not this one. ### 1/5 — Could be so much better... *2018-11-01, version 1.4.1* I have been playing for about a month. The weather comes through and destroys a couple of things, before I can rebuild them, another storm comes through and destroys more things. All I do is rebuild. Makes the game really boring. More available people before the huge wait for an upgrade would help. The time to build or rebuild is forever. If you don’t use everyone in camp to complete a job, the time to complete an expedition or an event is way too long. If I send 10 people on an expedition, there is no one to play with and camp moral drops way down. When they come back they have to spend days cleaning up the camp before play can start again. If this is supposed to be fun you really missed your mark. I lost interest already. I enjoy a game you can interact with regularly and see an accomplishment. Maybe I will check back if an update happens that improves the gameplay. ### 1/5 — Free, yes - but far too much “pay to play” *2018-01-23, version 1.4.1* I was super interested in this game initially, but the upgrades and building and other basic tasks take way too long to complete to make it as fun as it could be. Example: I’ve only been playing for a few hours total (started sometime yesterday) and I already maxed out on how many settlers I can have (10), but have to wait 4 ENTIRE DAYS for 1 settler to upgrade the community shelter so I can add more. Meanwhile, 5 more settlers are off on an expedition which will take another four days for them to return. That leaves me with 4 settlers to work with; I decided to have one chop down part of the forest so I could reorganize the camp, but that’ll take over 24 hours, and the other 3 settlers can barely keep everything else in working order (storms keep damaging everything and repairs take 1+ hours). I’m finding myself opening the game to just check on the progress and then going into play something else. Only way to keep advancing at a decent playable pace is to pay real $ to speed up the completion of tasks which will just lead to more tasks that take several hours to several days to complete (or pay more $ to speed up and so on and so on). ### 1/5 — Rip off, not clever...defeating *2018-01-07, version 1.4.1* This game has such a chance to be cool but due to the developers not being clever enough to trick their players into spending money they deliver storms that destroy your buildings at an unreasonable rate. In my opinion the developers really fell short on this. There’s nothing the player can do to avoid damage from storms other than upgrade. I don’t mind a storm or two every once in a while but come on I’ve been playing for just a small time this evening and I’ve had four buildings destroyed and now I can’t build towards anything else without spending money… Get more clever and you might have something ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2023-08-22* This game has potential like other reviews said but there are some very frustrating things about this game. The upgrade time for the community shelter from 10+ settlers is 5 actual days, which is ridiculous. The campfire requests are always things I haven’t gotten built yet or the things I don’t have in the storage. My item storage is almost full and they never want the things I actually have. Some of the crafting is frustrating and time consuming gathering or making the needed supplies. The amount of time required for trades was the final straw for me. At this point I only had 10 settlers and sending all 10 on trade would’ve taken an entire day. If I sent 5 people it would’ve taken 5 days. That is just a ridiculous amount of time, I understand they want you to pay to expedite things but without constantly paying to speed things up the game gets stagnant and not fun to play. ### 2/5 — To many storms *2022-09-29, version 2022.4* While the game does have a nice casual ambiance to it there are a couple of improvements that could be made. First it’s a smidgen of a cash cow. Oh sure, I understand the need to make a profit and you can play free but the process will be extremely slow and painful without spending a lot of real money. So maybe dial it back a notch. Secondly what’s with the constant storms folks. This game is a climate change catastrophe if you buy into that sort of thing. I can see having a storm every now and then but come on guy (balance) I spend a lot more time repairing things than actually building things. So again lighten up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Satisfying, Relaxing, and Addictive! *2023-09-08* Let me preface by saying, I have adhd. Is nearly impossible for me to find a game I can stick with for over a month. Not only does this game have continual playability, it’s simple enough that I don’t have to spend a bunch of brainpower on it. This game is quite relaxing. I spend my time by gathering resources, crafting, and I really enjoy sending them to forage for some reason. Now that I’ve maxed out my shelter and have 35 settlers, things move really quickly (adhd pace) and I can get a lot accomplished in one day. Despite playing for months, I still have more to do, like clearing more land and completing the achievements. Overall, this is a very simple yet well designed game that has kept my interest piqued for months. I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Slow but Steady *2022-05-26, version 2022.2* Some comments indicate this game doesn’t move as fast as they’d like. This is really a slow but steady game. Once you make up your mind that this is so, then the game meanders along at a very comfortable pace. I appreciate this kind of game because most of the other games I play are fast and furious. Thanks to the developers for this different kind of game that’s soothing rather than jarring. ### 5/5 — Eden Review *2021-12-21, version 2021.7* Been on this for two weeks now - Good graphics, great flow, doesn’t pester you to buy/purchase credits if you’re willing to check on the game from time to time. Cool to see my little town grow and keep my people happy. I wouldn’t mind my kids playing this game - teaches a bit about community service and everyone doing their part🤙 ### 5/5 — Extraordinary *2021-11-17, version 2021.7* This game is intense from handling repairs and weather. You can manage to keep the small village, or grow in numbers. Foraging is a thing of the past once you plant trees. Christmas is coming, so decorating for the holiday is a plus. Hope to see some events for the holidays come up. You get a free daily spin to spoil yourself with a reward once in awhile. I go through the currency in the game too fast. It is defiantly worth the wait to gather and forage to get your currency balance back up, making the achievements and spinning the daily wheel and a daily login helps keep the progress of the EDEN going. Wish you could modify landscape… ### 5/5 — I like this game *2020-10-26, version 1.4.1* As said in another review it is a nice non monster or attacker survival game. I am not about blood and gore. It is slower moving but I see that as a fun challenge in the game. I use it in a way to motivate me. I clean while I wait for something to be done in the game. Yeah right now I am waiting for something to get repaired so I can use it, but that is kinda like life, we dont always get things instantly. In life we have to wait for stuff too. I really like it. It is simple yet has variety to keep me going. ### 5/5 — A lot of potential... *2020-05-13, version 1.4.1* A very casual game. I wanted a survival game that doesn’t include monsters of any kind and this game fits very well. I would like to see more things in the store that would upgrade the camp rather than decorate it. My game style is to keep population low and to keep the area as pristine as possible. So far I have 12 members in my camp and it seems to work perfectly. I also see some items not listed in the craft menu such as toilet paper. A latrine with no TP? The game kind of lacks common sense example: multiple crop fields that can only grow the same crops? If I can grow wheat can I not also grow corn? If I can grow potatoes I can also grow squash. Yes, the game is a very nice way to pass time but it has so much potential. I would like to see a camping version of this game that would include tents and RV’s. Update: Still enjoying the game after weeks of play. Would like to see different buildings instead of duplicating buildings. Eden needs a doctor, bank, ore processing building, a way of landscaping, architect for improved building designs and so on. This would increase your profits if you add them as packs. ### 5/5 — Glitch? *2019-10-29, version 1.4.1* I love the game and I’ve been playing for a couple of days now but yesterday and today as I’m tying to open the out it doesn’t load and just kicks me off..or if it does load it’ll let me on it for maybe a minute total then kick me off again. Everything is up to date as well as my phone...not sure what to do? ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2018-02-18, version 1.4.1* This is a great game! I love it a lot. My only problem with it is a small glitch in the player’s progression. I don’t know if this affects other players as well or just me, but I’m on level 60 and have experienced season after season. However, when I go to the “Your Journey so far” at the campfire, it says I haven’t completed any seasons, which affects my ability to complete all the achievements, as one of the achievements is to complete a certain amount of seasons. Besides that issue, it’s a wonderful little game. I’d suggest it to anyone who likes games like these, where you play for a little bit and then come back later to play more :) ### 5/5 — Very Enjoyable *2018-01-03, version 1.4.1* Requires a bit of time in the beginning to get things going but then it takes longer to complete tasks as you go. I like that I can leave the games for a few days, things improve if you have started them. The one thing I don't like is the deterioration of buildings. Overall my favorite game of similar type. ### 5/5 — Love This Game *2017-12-10, version 1.4.1* Update: Okay, so I turned my game on today and it has now become Autumn! Guess I just wasn’t being patient enough on the seasons. Yay!!! Original Post: I absolutely love this game - I’ve literally been playing nonstop since yesterday lol. I love the fact that weather impacts the gameplay (makes it more realistic) but I have noticed that my game doesn’t seem to advance through the seasons for some reason. I believe it’s a glitch. I’m on level 11 and it’s been summer/rainy the entire time (my stats even say that I’ve progressed through 0 seasons.) When I played last year, there were varying seasons with Autumn and snowy Winter as time progressed. I know I could probably delete and reload the game to fix it, but it’s not worth losing the progress I’ve achieved so I’ll just live with it. I really have no other complaints - this game has great graphics and engaging tasks to complete. It would be nice if there were female villagers who could mate and produce babies, but that’s probably a little too in depth for a freebie game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
