The game play is tedious compared to the previous version, and I’m wondering if I should be able to give gifts by now? There is no mechanism I can find for that now. Earlier review: Today I opened the game to finish a mission and everything was gone. (I think I was at level 22. )I was going to play through again and rebuild what I lost. I especially liked a pearl rabbit I had tucked away in storage. I started to grind through again. One of my favorite activities this summer was untangling what everyone’s favorite items were. I especially liked hopping from character to character and making trades to get a needed item. So getting those pearls again was going to be worth it. Now it seems there will be no special items at all? So I really can’t see future enjoyment in going through all the reruns knowing that the things I enjoyed most have been removed. No art heist? No secret key? And don’t get me started on how long it took to get that level 14 gnome.:( What’s worse is there was absolutely no warning. So I couldn’t even take a screenshot for memories’ sake. I loved the real tree planting while having fun, but … this is no longer fun. ### 3/5 — Railroads now *2025-10-18* Since the latest update, it feels a lot more limited. I miss the slow progression where you fixed one thing here, then there, and I could choose what to focus on to grow my forest bit by bit. Earning stardust for finishing the quests is fine, just maybe have multiple options on where I could spend it? I also miss the special quests for individual animals. Now it seems like there’s no way to increase your friendship except by level up? Giving gifts doesn’t raise friendship, I think Fuzzalot is glitched so he can’t receive anything, and all the animals like different things now. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy and recommend this game. I’m already back to level 19, it still has cute graphics, and I love that I’m contributing to the environment! ### 4/5 — Broken *2025-10-09* All of the entities look like white squares what is with that. ### 1/5 — Not loading *2025-10-04* Same as others let’s me download it but then is just stuck on the first picture, never Scylla able to load it **Developer response:** Hi, we are very sorry that you are encountering issues trying to play our latest EverForest update. If you could submit a ticket to our helpdesk we'd love to help make sure you can enjoy EverForest - https://everforesthelpdesk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new ## Frequently asked questions about EverForest ### What is EverForest: Merge Adventure?

Sign up here to join the EverForest Alliance and get exciting EverForest updates! https://www.carboncounts.tech/join-the-everforest-alliance ### 0.230.5918 — 2025-10-02 UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS Thank you for your continued dedication to re-greening the planet by playing EverForest! Our latest update is huge. The gameplay is tighter, the restorations are bigger, and much of the community’s feedback has been incorporated. We believe this sets us on a path for being able to provide lots of new content, new limited time events, and most of all, get even more trees planted. As such, we’ve made the difficult decision to reset player progress and currencies. This is something we don’t take lightly as we understand the impact it causes. To make up for this, your past efforts are being honored: - All of the trees you’ve planted are still there and can be seen after finishing the tutorial. - All returning players have received a unique FREE chest in the Store to help you restart strong (unlock the Store at Player Level 4 to receive it). - For those who have spent real money, past purchases have been reimbursed (and then some). We hope you enjoy this major update, and we look forward to your feedback as we improve the experience from here on out! NEW EVERFOREST EXPERIENCE Our goal with this update is to make restoring the forest feel great by ensuring players know what they are working toward and when that next real tree is going to be planted. To accomplish these goals, we've streamlined the experience. - Quests now award EverDust which is used to restore and transform areas of the forest. - We've updated the landscape to ensure restorations feel that much more rewarding. - Our new currency, Eco, replaces what EverDust was previously used for - leveling up animals and buying select items from the Store. ANIMAL GIFTING UPDATE We’ve updated the gifting system to make it easier to get the items you need, when you need them. Each animal will now return a specific item produced by their generators when you give them a gift. Any item can be gifted to get what you need, but gifting their favorite items will return higher-level rewards. Common animals return the basic item from their generator and Rare animals return the rare item from their generator. In addition, you no longer need to give gifts to get the hearts you need to level-up an animal. You’ll get all the hearts needed to level-up your animals just by completing quests, restoring the forest, and increasing your player level. Finally, we have removed the special items awarded by animals, freeing up space in your backpack and making the game easier to understand. STORAGE POCKET INDICATES WHEN IT CONTAINS A REQUIRED ITEM We’ve updated the storage pocket to indicate when it contains an item that you need to complete a quest to ensure you don’t spend time creating an item you already have. KNOWN ISSUES - Player level cap: You can advance to level 19, but progress will be halted beyond that. This cap will be raised in future releases! - Creature level cap: Your creatures are currently capped at level 7 - Stretching: On some devices, the UI looks stretched. - Tablet Support: We don’t officially support tablets. While the game may function, the user experience may be sub-optimal. We’ll be adding full support for tablets in the future. JOIN THE EVERFOREST ALLIANCE Be part of our global community!
