Islanders: mobile
love the game had to buy it soon as i sore it in the app store
Absoluter Reinfall
Schon zu Beginn ist es nicht möglich etwas zu bauen.
Es steht ein Gebäude zur Verfügung aber egal was man macht, man kann es nicht platzieren. Schade ums Geld!

Abartig
Schlimmer geht es nicht. Gleich am Anfang, kann man nichts bauen. Miserable
Sucked
Game never worked so i deleted. Dont waste your money
Love it!
Highly addictive, I can’t stop playing🥹
One UX improvement for mobile, if I may: for precise placement it would be nice to have rotation and done buttons while positioning a structure. Sometimes, specially mid to end level it takes too long to fit and often placement fails, especially with walls.
🤍✨
Addition:
Would be very useful if you could add some more prominent alert when a boon is used. Spent 3 hr figuring ideal placement for 2 temples, 2 statues and a bunch of masons counting on shrink boon and unknowingly used both boons during figuring placement🤦🏻😭😭😭

Great platform cross-over that needs control work
Its nice to see this come to the mobile app world, but the controls are not very mobile friendly. Would aslo be nice to see connection with apple pencil
It’s just like the steam game!!!
I just love this game! I have played many hours on steam and when I saw that they released a mobile version, it was an instant purchase for me! It’s adorable and the music is so peaceful. It feels just like the PC version, but I can play it on my ipad!!! Yay! One of the best cozy builder games ever!

Falls Short of Potential
Islanders and Islanders New Shores on Steam are in my top 3 favorite games of all time. I metered my expectations for the mobile version but am still disappointed.
Pros:
• The music and art style remain the same. The overall flow of the game is intact.
• I like the ability to play a favorite game wherever I want.
Cons:
• Framerate. I understand there are difficulties porting a game like this and even my desktop pc begins to chug when there are lots of buildings placed. But from the start it’s just a slow experience, even with no buildings placed. Part of what makes this game so good is that the original is buttery smooth.
• Controls: unfortunately, the touch controls here fall short as well. Specifically the selection and rotation of buildings:
-Selection is clunky. One press to see information about a building, then again to start the placement in the game world. This should be changed to either dragging straight in from the bar or just a single tap. Building info should be a long hold. Once you become familiar with a building’s +/-, you don’t need the info every time.
-Rotation is also clunky. This takes away from what the game should be because the flow of placement is important to the game loop. Tap to rotate is smart and should stay, but it takes too long to fully rotate a building, and it’s easy to deselect or place one accidentally. Similar to the camera rotation, you should be able to slide your finger around the building in a circle, or just straight left to right, to rotate. That would bring the control back closer to what it is in the original.
This game IS still worth the price in its current state but just the control fixes would make it much more enjoyable. I’d love to see these in a future update.

Peaceful
Such a peaceful experience of a game. Nice little puzzle game.
Cute and simple
I hope more people get it so the developers make more updates. I love this game tho, it’s just a it simple. The graphics are really what drove me to it
obsessed
I think this a beautifully designed game that you can just sandbox in, or try and strategize to get max points. Very aesthetically pleasing as well, which is important to me and this game nails that. I think i have never been happier spending 5 dollars.
Kurzweilig, macht aber „süchtig“… :-)
Sehr schönes Spiel, mag ich und schön keine Mikrotransaktionen notwendig. Schöne Grafik… Nur der Sound scheint zu fehlen!?
Enjoyable
So far enjoying this game! Super cosy relaxed feel, no time pressure. Easy to learn. Only getting 4 stars because gameplay feels slightly sluggish, would love a 120fps mode please!!! 🙏
Cozy to the max
I love playing this game on PC and on Steam Deck. Even more awesome that my phone is an option too. The touch controls will take some getting used to, but it works well enough.
This is a steal for $5!

Great game
I downloaded this after reading a review and I’m loving it. Easy to learn and has a one more go vibe to beat your high score. Love it
