Also placement of floor tiles is sometimes nearly impossible because the tile cant be placed from inventory, only from toolbar. Great game but the controls on mobile are just clumsy and late game is impossible to play as a result ### 4/5 — Kinda fine *2026-04-30* The game itself is amazing but some many things could be improved: the controls are awful, if you release the joystick the action button takes a second to work properly and on the opposite if you release the action the joystick will take a second to reactivate… The chicken friend is a pain in the ***!! Why are we able to target him?? It makes every little action annoying when he is around… Menus should have sliders and hold-to-repeat kind of actions instead of spamming to increase values.. ### 4/5 — This is aweome but… *2026-04-25, version 1.04* This game is great your on a small island to start making stuff upgrading getting more islands then you advance to bosses better gear and weapons and stuff like that but I have been having trouble lately…every time I save and quit my world then after go on a diffrent app then go back on my world is deleted and back at 1 second and my other world won’t let me even get in its a great game but very buggy and needs fixing a bit ### 2/5 — The game is fun, but glitchy *2026-02-15, version 1.04* I played the game for hours, and then I took a break then I got back on and all my island disappeared. I try to get my I island back, but it was corrupted. to prevent this maybe play on Xbox or something not on mobile. It’s a lot more Glitchy on mobile ### 4/5 — Great game *2025-12-16, version 1.04* You said you work hard for it and it look like you work hard but the décoration is hard to manipulate and make me mad every time cause there place I can’t even put things ### 2/5 — Awful controls *2025-11-28, version 1.04* Just moving around is difficult plus the targeting system is total nonsense. When you finally roll your character to the right place, your tool will target something 2 blocks away or even nothing at all. It seems like it would be a fun and cute game if I could actually play it ### 4/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2025-10-08, version 1.04* Been playing this game for 4 years and never got bored of making new stuff ALL THE TIME ### 3/5 — Glitch *2025-08-22, version 1.04* Every time I close the app, even when I saved my progress would get reset but the game good ### 4/5 — Great game if you didn’t have to fight *2025-08-15, version 1.04* I really like the game but I wish fighting could be turned off in the settings or else confined to a dungeon or cave area or something. I like to forage and build and explore in a relaxing manner and having enemies come after me all of the time makes me uninterested in playing. Which is too bad because otherwise it’s a lovely game. ### 5/5 — I like this game *2025-08-12, version 1.04* By the way, this is just pocket addition I recommend this game if you like survival and building games also before you go and buy it you can play it on Xbox game pass ### 5/5 — From the first to play your game *2025-08-04, version 1.04* Pls update the game ### 5/5 — Best mobile game! *2025-08-03, version 1.04* Mobile games for me are very rarely fun, it’s just not the same as PC games or whatever, however, this game, though being on a phone is so good! The story the mechanics all are top-tier and I’m surprised that I don’t have to pay to get it. Truly, a 10 out of 10. ### 5/5 — This game may be the cure to the common cold *2025-07-30, version 1.04* I bought this game after seeing some gameplay and being intrigued, only to be met with the most addicting non-linear progression and upgrade systems, adorable graphics, witty humour in places and that well known indie charm. I am keeping this on my home screen as a badge of honour. Play this game immediately. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please update to fix bugs *2026-05-20, version 1.04* I’ve loved this game and spent money to buy it. But after like completing the game once every time I start a new game now I end up having to delete it because my lands just disappear, it doesn’t save at times even after pressing save losing progress, and my vaults/ items also disappear. I just really wish this would get fixed. I’ve been waiting and waiting but they’re doing nothing. ### 1/5 — Bugged but no response *2026-05-09, version 1.04* This was a cute game until it bugged out and my land that I purchased disappeared. Why is this still in the App Store if the developers aren’t fixing it? Don’t buy this game, they may have worked hard on it but now it’s been neglected 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Great idea, terrible control *2026-03-20, version 1.04* Not worth ### 1/5 — No peaceful *2025-12-18, version 1.04* I just wanted to chill ### 1/5 — Sad *2025-10-29, version 1.04* Been playing for years and for some reason lately every world I play won’t save or when it does it’s level one. It’s very frustrating I’ve never had this problem. ### 1/5 — I just lost over 7 hours of gameplay… *2025-09-27, version 1.04* A bunch of my islands randomly disappeared and I can’t do anything about it. I can’t even get them back no matter what 👎🏽👎🏽 ### 1/5 — HOW AM I SUPPOSSED TO *2025-07-29, version 1.04* GET TRILLOIN DOLLARS WHY CANT I GET RID DROIDS WHY NO UPDATE ### 1/5 — Huge bug makes it unplayable *2025-03-23, version 1.04* The game is fantastic, but every time you close the app, there is a chance the game reverts back to a save hours and hours older. It’s so frustrating to play and then realize all the progress you made is lost, even after manually saving the game. ### 1/5 — Jogo não está guardando o progresso *2025-02-01* Fui salvar o jogo pra fechar o aplicativo, quando voltei, minhas horas de gameplay foram jogadas fora e não salvou nada do meu progresso ### 1/5 — Save needs fixing asap! *2024-12-04, version 1.04* Played and really enjoyed this game. But my save file crashed and the app stopped working completely. I can’t play anymore and I’m sure my progress is gone. Unfortunate. Please fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Long time fan *2026-08-17, version 1.04* Played this awhile ago. Still come back to see if a new game was made just like this 😓 ### 5/5 — セーブできない *2026-05-25* セーブしても初期化される。致命的 ### 5/5 — My review *2026-05-19, version 1.04* The people say the saving doesn’t work are just stupid in the setting it clearly says SAVE and exit to menu, beyond that we NEED a forager movie great game, I have not encountered large progress loss due to forgetting to save. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-05-01* Muito da hora já zerei 10 vezes ou mais ### 5/5 — Love!!! *2026-01-23, version 1.04* Love the game but please add a creative mode!!!! ### 5/5 — Un vrai jeu *2026-01-19* C’est un vrai jeu PC donc pas de pub etc ### 5/5 — How about you give materials instead of sacrificing your health *2026-01-11, version 1.04* Do you remember those demon like things? I would like them if they have you giving materials instead of sacrificing your health. Good idea for a improvement. ### 5/5 — 暇つぶしや作業好きにピッタリ *2025-10-07* すきま時間にゆったり進めたり、がっつり進めたり色んな楽しみ方があってすごく良いです。キャラの見た目を変えれたりシンプルにキャラが可愛いです。 たぶん武器を最後まで強化する目標だけでも50〜100時間は遊べます。 まじで個人的に神ゲー ### 5/5 — Multiplayer *2025-10-03, version 1.04* Can you get back to working on your multiplayer idea please? ### 5/5 — The best game *2025-08-19, version 1.04* this game has got my awoke at mid night playing trying to get more islands and it has save slots and when I die I can load my save slot again right back where I was --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
