### 3/5 — Why

*2026-05-06, version 1.2*

It is so rude to steal money and make the game reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllllyyyyyyyyyy hard

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2026-02-28, version 1.2*

Games really good but after i accidentally deleted the app it wont process my full game purchase and im stuck in trial now. Whenever i try to it says “you already purchased it and will process now for free”. Sometimes during games though it wont let me place my dens or warriors at all

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2024-04-01, version 1.2*

There was nothing on my territory and then I lost,it makes no sense that the stupid dominance meter goes low fast. I like the concept but fix this I just hate it

### 4/5 — Please update with new things

*2024-03-29, version 1.2*

This game is amazing but please can you keep updating with new things

### 4/5 — Give us more

*2023-02-12, version 1.2*

In about 6 to 5 days I was already finish the game and there’s also not enough habitats maybe you should add more types?

### 3/5 — Fun but needs work

*2022-09-13, version 1.2*

Edit: I’m giving it an extra star because firstly the bugs are mostly gone besides still needing to restore my purchase which honestly isn’t a big deal to me. 
Pros:
Gameplay is easy to understand and the tutorial does help
It give you points to upgrade very fast
Areas that assist in difficulty is very fun and cool idea
The game is over all consistant
Growing your creatures are generally easy  it not without some problems 

Cons:
It’s still too easy to lose matches
Resistance going down with everything is a little frustrating 
Creatures running away all the time is annoying and like a tease when you drop your warrior in only for it to run away as soon as the battle starts.

Over all it’s fun and to buy infinite games is really cheap for only being a dollar. But as I said before this still needs work and is why I won’t delete my previous statement as it still rings some truth to it.
It has the bones for a really good game, it just needs some meat on it and it would be practically perfect.

For the dev:
 I’m sorry if we disheartens you about your game, and I’m sorry if I added to the pain that caused you. I know such a low rating can hurt not only confidence but motivation in working on your game. It’s why I would like to make sure to state I do really like your game. I know once you find the harmony with the gameplay it will only continue to get better. I honestly get so excited to come back and see what updates have occurred. I would write more but I’m so tired and barely awake enough for this comment lol

Previous:
I’m rating it so low because it has a lot of issues, first of all the servers to do a match don’t work and says I’m playing on another device which as you can guess is false, secondly I have to keep restoring my purchase so I can play though the price isn’t bad, resistance making dominance go down doesn’t make sense to me as if they are a power house you would think that they wouldn’t die so easily, everything can lower resistance but it doesn’t go up without boosts, not a lot of gameplay to be honest, and I could list more. All in all I do like the game even though I only said negative stuff. It IS a cool concept and has the bones to make a good game, it’s just lacking development and flexibility. It has 3 different modes and is a lot of fun if you’re determined to win. I think it may be too easy to lose but still I enjoyed it. I hope to see more updates come out and improve the gameplay soon.

### 2/5 — Too much game text is too small!

*2022-08-21, version 1.2*

Too much small text on my iPhone 12’s display makes the game tedious instead of fun. Too bad you don’t honor ‘dynamic text’. Offloading app for now. Hoping for future ‘text sizing’.

### 4/5 — Great game…..

*2022-08-18, version 1.2*

…now that the major bugs I was dealing with are fixed. The only bug I’m finding now is that when I launch the game, I get the “purchase full game” box, to which I have to acknowledge that I already purchased it and I’m able to continue playing as normal. It’s more of an annoyance and extra steps to play the game, but nothing that makes it completely broken. Rather than that, it’s a lot of fun and deserves higher ratings for sure. Once the minor bug i mentioned is fixed, it’ll definitely be a 5 star for me.

### 4/5 — Good job

*2022-02-09, version 1.0*

Don’t know if it’s your first game. But it’s good to me. Nice concept and graphics. Just keep working and improving it. Develop more games. 

I played and came back to review. I saw many 1 star comments as well as your responses. You’re a fun dude. Keep your work and good luck. Add more fun stuffs and creatures or features. Make 1 play a bit longer.

### 2/5 — Nooooooo

*2022-01-30, version 1.0*

I paid for the full game then when I came back on it said pay for new game?

### 4/5 — Good, but we want more

*2021-11-29, version 1.0*

Within 30 minutes of playing this game I bought the full version assuming it would expand to a similar depth as “plague inc” or games alike this one. I’m kinda sad there isn’t more to it or a feature where you can see why the animal evolved a trait.

### 2/5 — A little too hard for beigenners

*2021-11-21, version 1.0*

plus why u gotta pay id rather see ads

### 2/5 — please fix

*2021-11-01, version 1.0*

iphone 6 can’t play

### 2/5 — PvP

*2021-10-25, version 1.0*

This game isn’t bad. I enjoy the game.  The problem is it is saying I am playing another device when I try to pvp.  I failed to load 1 pvp match and now it says that so I can’t play pvp now.   Please fix this

### 3/5 — Warriors??

*2021-10-21, version 1.0*

For some reason, I cannot move the warriors onto the map. I can purchase things just fine, but I obviously need warriors to fight to win the game...Otherwise, good game

### 1/5 — Rigged

*2025-12-23, version 1.2*

No matter what you do the preditor always wins and the longer it exsists the more you lose I beat it in a fight like ten times but still lost

### 1/5 — Make this game easier

*2024-01-11, version 1.2*

I always lose bruh make it easier

### 1/5 — Made me pay twice

*2022-10-07, version 1.2*

I bought full game, and I closed the app and went back, and it made me pay again! Thanks for stealing my money, game!

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2022-07-03, version 1.2*

Yeah Um I can’t beat the game even on easy mode because it’s more like a game of tag this is how my play through is: I spawn I evolve predator appears I fight it it runs away I fight it again and repeat until I lose (this was all on easy) make an easier difficulty )-)

### 1/5 — Fraudulent

*2022-01-29, version 1.0*

The game gives you 10 “free” games. You need to buy the game to play more than 10 games. The devs should be ashamed of themselves. Disgusting.
Edit: Big lol at the dev response. Gaming PR at its finest.

### 1/5 — Oh now I see the problem…

*2021-12-22, version 1.0*

Predators spawn everywhere and you made it so the more predators there are the more you lose. So either when you lose the game it’s when population is very low or stop spawning enemies! Ok? Good hope you understand.

### 1/5 — This is ridiculous

*2021-11-28, version 1.0*

Even on easy difficulty I keep getting spammed with something making my creatures weekend and I got them so much I didn’t have enough points to stop them  and that is bad please fix this because the game could be so nice without this ridiculous spam not saying you should remove the feature just make it so it’s not happening to the point where I can’t play

### 1/5 — Awful game designed to make you lose on purpose so you spend money

*2021-10-17, version 1.0*

Despite completely dominating the map and rapidly expanding and evolving I still randomly keep getting GAME OVER. YOUR POPULATION DIED OUT despite having so many territories and all population upgrades and dominating the map.

### 1/5 — 😡

*2021-10-15, version 1.0*

When ever I try to play the game just kicks me out😡

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2021-10-14, version 1.0*

Maybe i’m just really bad, but even on the easiest mode I cannot win. I immediately die before the 2nd evolution no matter what upgrades I perform.

### 5/5 — Writing So It’s Reviewed

*2025-11-25, version 1.2*

I’d like to start off that I hardly ever write reviews but this game is exceptional. I absolutely love it - I’m a huge fan of ‘evolution’ based games and with such little options in this genre, the complexity yet simplicity of this game makes it so appealing to me. It requires attentiveness, strategy, and skill (especially once you play more). It was extremely clear that 10 game plays were free with a 0.99¢ charge to unlock the full game. I would love to play the full game - seems to be a major bug that despite payment two times and two uninstalling/reinstalling cycles the game still has not unlocked full game play. While I hope the developers fix this bug (and I have reached out to Apple support) the rating doesn’t change for me - as it’s so clear the game itself self has high potential and these developers have worked hard on all their games (some others I play from these Devs include Amber Isle) and I think they deserve credit for that. 4/5stars in all reality and I do recommend.

### 5/5 — Hi I’m confused I’m just leaving a review for no reason

### 5/5 — Update ideas

*2022-07-23, version 1.2*

Events get the free game and more

### 5/5 — เกม

*2022-01-07, version 1.0*

โดยรวมดีครับ เล่นสนุก แต่ผมเล่นแบบonline ไม่ได้ครับ แก้ให้หน่อยOwO

### 5/5 — SO FUN

*2021-12-30, version 1.0*

so confused my the amount of bad reviews. this game is so fun and so addicting. i highly recommend trying it out & leaving a nice review to help weigh out the bad ones!!

### 5/5 — Read the 1 stars :V

*2021-12-23, version 1.0*

Great game it’s exactly what it says it is.. i’m leaving a review to help boost the ratings because it’s a shame there are so many 1 star reviews. If you read any of them you can easily tell most complaints aren’t about the game itself and are user errors.
    You can only play a limited number of games before paying $0.99 which unlocks nothing more than unlimited play throughs (which is a very fair deal.) And if you actually READ, it states just that in the first line of the app’s description.
     Sadly though, there isn’t a large enough player base to get into many, if any, online matches. Either way, it’s a very solid little game.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-11-29, version 1.0*

Nice

### 5/5 — The best evolution game out there

*2021-11-06, version 1.0*

The other reviews say, you randomly die out. And this happened to me to! But I learned a thing called the  dominance meter, and so do most of you did too. if you did the tutorial now I know that’s why I died out. And I have beat easy and normal now and soon be moving on to hard. It is awesome and the best evolution game the I 
Have seen in a while. And super cool that it made my creature look like a goat when I upgraded balance for mountain upgrades.
And I say, but it. If you like evolution games.

### 5/5 — oK

*2021-09-27, version 1.0*

สนุกดีเอาไว้เล่นคลายเครียดได้

### 5/5 — The game is great

*2021-09-22, version 1.0*

I like the game but I have a petition can y’all make it a little bit longer for example build some things like house or weapons to help your people; I mean like a story
