This is really basic all said and done — For the FRBC — I would expect something a little more polished. Definitely doesn’t discourage me from visiting in real life — if you’re a fan of history give it a shot you’ll have some fun!

Changed my life

The story is absolutely brilliant, Robbie’s journey to get off the island and make his way back home is incredibly captivating. The character writing is comparable to only that of the god father, The chief is so funny 🤣😂🤣. Truly a tale that can stand side by side with the Bible. The character designs and graphics completely immerse the player in the world of barter island. Coconut island was so big 🤪🥥🌋🥥🤪. The gameplay is so addictive, no matter what I do I can’t put this game down. Thanks Mr Beaver for making this incredible game, you’ve made my life.

Weird

I can’t understand this game. Years and years of trying and I still am stuck on orange island. Please make it easier😡😤😤

do not play

this game caused me to fall into a deep depression where i constantly see the coconut island dreams. i can’t escape them anymore

Worst game EVER

Not only was the download very slow, but the game was very poorly made and difficult to achieve an optimum score unless highly qualified as an economics major. Forced to play by amazing teacher. Long Live The Beave.
