### 3/5 — Good but placing items is hard.

*2023-08-14, version 1.0.4*

It took me a bit to figure out trial by error to put just a workbench down. Then it got even harder trying to place a wooden floor down. It’s not working. I still haven’t gotten to do it yet. 

 I like the pixel graphics though. Very nice.

### 4/5 — Update update

### 3/5 — Could be amazing

*2023-01-31, version 1.0.4*

So much fun, such great potential, but always crashing :(

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-01-30, version 1.0.4*

best game i’ve ever played ong it’s so good fr

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-01-20, version 1.0.4*

This game is not for me at all

### 3/5 — Game is alright could use some work

*2022-12-02, version 1.0.4*

So I played through some of the game and my honest opinion is I expected it to be much worse considering a lot of mobile survival games are littered with ads and such but this game sure it has the occasional ads very understandable considering the no ads option is pretty cheap but the issues I had is I can’t even open my save cause the game crashes everytime and when you build something it doesn’t say you built it so you have to assume it got built, well anyway I appreciate you reading through this and hope you don’t get these issues as I have.

### 4/5 — Update

*2022-10-13, version 1.0.4*

Update

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2022-10-06, version 1.0.4*

Keeps crashing, and im not the only one thats said it so im not as nice to put 3 stars when you’re given multiple reports

### 5/5 — How do you place things down

*2022-08-03, version 1.0.4*

How, please tell me

### 4/5 — It won’t craft

*2022-03-11, version 1.0.4*

So I beat the game... but after I did, the game crashes and it won’t let me craft anything at all. This same problem happened before and I could not craft anything except copper gear. Overall great game.
