### 4/5 — Only 4 maps

*2025-09-28, version 0.3.10*

I like the game. Gives you something to idly do whilst doing other things. However, there’s only around 4 maps and then it puts you back to the first map to play from the start all over again. Would love it if they added some more maps with some variation between what you need to do on the maps to escape and varying difficulties the further you get through the maps.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable game but

*2025-09-10, version 0.3.10*

It needs an update. iOS and hardware has changed so some things are now hidden on my screen. 

Still fun though if you enjoy just watching stuff happen on the screen. It’s fine for some mindless time waste.

### 2/5 — Promising but disappointing

*2025-05-24, version 0.3.10*

The game freezes at 4x helpers and 8:00 2x speed. This after you’ve collected all the right materials and are waiting for them to craft. Requires an app dump from memory and reboot. Developer should be offering financial credits or else crates or buffs as comp. I see this has been discussed for 2 years so likely the dev is calling us suckers.

### 2/5 — It’s only 3 maps???

*2024-05-25, version 0.3.10*

After you complete the 3rd level it’s game over and you start all over again and it doesn’t have save mode

### 2/5 — Ads Crash Game

*2024-02-25, version 0.3.10*

I like the game but I’m irritated with the ads. Ads will work a couple times but then one will freeze at the final screen and the only way to fix it is to restart the app. Especially annoying when I willingly select an ad to get a crate and I don’t end up getting it because the game crashed.

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2024-01-29, version 0.3.10*

I have had it before but got it again. It is not a idle game but it still is fun. The mane problem with these games is there is not very much to do. Could be better if there is more and not as many crashes that make you lose your progress when stopping a add.

### 3/5 — Could be a fun/interesting game...

*2024-01-18, version 0.3.10*

The ads just pop up randomly on its own...which I can be fine with but when the ads finish, the screen freezes and you have to reopen the game to continue to play.

### 2/5 — Bad

*2024-01-14, version 0.3.10*

When it comes to getting the bonus supplies, you need to watch a video. But the videos on most of these, will not end . So you have to close out the game and reopen it and then you will not get the bonus! Could be a really good game, needs work!!!

### 3/5 — Decent Simple Game, Needs Update

*2023-10-27, version 0.3.10*

Like the title says. My biggest complaint is that when an ad plays, it doesn't allow me to go back to the game. I have to shut down the game and re-open it.

### 3/5 — Game idea

*2023-10-23, version 0.3.10*

I like the game but I would like be able to make the survivors do stuff like make some cut wood, some smelt and harvest ore or stone and build or upgrade stuff

### 3/5 — Alright….

*2023-07-11, version 0.3.10*

Decent game there’s no real point to playing it but it’s a good time killer, one thing I will say is I’ve been playing for a few months now and only recently this week everytime I’m 20 mins into the game all the characters freeze running on the spot and the only way to fix this is by restarting your game but you can’t do that if you want to keep your time boosts which you get by watching ads, it starts off at 2 mins then after that’s up it goes up from 3,4,5 etc. plz fix this!

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2023-06-09, version 0.3.10*

I felt like every ten minutes or so I get a ad that’s like 1000 seconds long。

### 1/5 — Falsely claims to be “ad free”

*2023-06-08, version 0.3.10*

I downloaded this on the point that it claimed it was “ad free”. I get ads FORCED on me throughout gameplay along with the dangled carrot of “If you don’t want forced ads… pay money”. Scummy practice.

### 1/5 — Compulsory Ad Watching 🤡

*2023-06-01, version 0.3.10*

Caveat Emptor

### 3/5 — Need to change

*2023-05-24, version 0.3.10*

I absolutely love this game…..but whenever I want to move my character ,it won’t let me!I would like it if the creators would let people move the characters,it would be more fun !!!!please change this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Poor development

*2023-05-19, version 0.3.10*

Some of the supply quantity numbers are blocked by the iPhone 14 screen black bar. Recommend to make the screens adjustable to see everything.

### 3/5 — Glitchy/ People pause a lot

*2023-05-18, version 0.3.10*

Its a good fun game but every now and then when the people are building things or gathering resources, they just stop. They pause after delivering resources and dont actually complete/build the item. When this happens I have to exit the game which resets my progress back to before they started gathering resources which takes quite a while and I have to go through it again.

### 4/5 — Omar

*2023-05-07, version 0.3.10*

It is so good I’m even playing it day and night but can you guys put more stuff in there please and I will change it to a five star game

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-04, version 0.3.10*

Needs an update. They get all supplies but I have to restart for it to craft.

### 1/5 — سيئة

*2024-02-14, version 0.3.10*

لا يمكن للناجين ان يعملو عند الخروج من العبة

### 1/5 — Broken by ads

*2024-01-28, version 0.3.10*

If you click to watch an ad for a reward you will watch it but then be indefinitely stuck on said screen until you close out app.

### 1/5 — Game is not saving every time it starts the build

*2024-01-19, version 0.3.10*

Game is not saving every time it starts the build

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2024-01-10, version 0.3.10*

I couldn’t move my character wherever I wanted to, and I couldn’t place my buildings wherever I wanted to

### 1/5 — Literally unplayable

*2024-01-10, version 0.3.10*

Ads after ads, worst part is ads don't work. the X button on them don't work. so you exit app and refresh. Guess what? another forced ad which you can't exit out of. Literally unplayable lol

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-12-18, version 0.3.10*

Watch ads for rewards but the ads glitch and never end. When you close out the app cause of the glitch you lose all the rewards or boosts.

### 1/5 — They lied - tons of ads.

*2023-07-18, version 0.3.10*

I downloaded this game because their ad - ironic, I know - said NO ADS. For $5 you can remove the forced ads that get you nothing at all. For $17, you can remove all ads but still get their rewards.

To be honest, I expected that. It’s entirely on par for people to flagrantly lie about their product. So if you really enjoy five minutes of progress at the beginning of a game that crawls by after that point with all filler, no killer, then go ahead and download this adbot.

### 1/5 — Good game but…

*2023-07-18, version 0.3.10*

Ok, I always love idle games, and usually, I don't mind spending some dollars to make it easier. And it almost happened with this game too. It's a good game, fun, well at least the first 5’, and then lag, couldn't advance the game because I couldn't tap the objective. So, what's the point? Well, I’ll try another go, but if it still has the same problem(s), then forget it!

### 1/5 — Boring

*2023-06-12, version 0.3.10*

Same stuff day after day. Nothing new

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2026-02-27, version 0.3.10*

It’s a pretty chill game, though it doesn’t take a long time to craft some stuff

### 5/5 — Spend money

*2023-07-03, version 0.3.10*

My bad all good

### 5/5 — This game is awesome

*2023-05-03, version 0.3.10*

I gave this a five star I love the way you can upgrade your people and advance your stuff

### 5/5 — 👍

*2023-04-13, version 0.3.10*

The game is very fun 🤩 and good 👍 I really enjoy the game and it has been my only game that I’ve played soooo long and it doesn’t liy 😎 🦖🦕🐉😎

### 5/5 — Best game

*2023-02-24, version 0.3.10*

This game is grate.

### 5/5 — Late isle

*2023-02-13, version 0.3.10*

It is really good i like the graphics and the buildings.

### 5/5 — Love it, but…

*2022-11-21, version 0.3.10*

Absolutely love this game, it does take a while to get to the next island but when you bored it’s a fun game to just keep going and upgrading, nothing wrong with the actually game itself, but I just wish I knew how many different islands there were, I don’t want to just keep blindly playing and getting to the next island over and over again, I would like to know if there’s a ending or if it just goes on forever

### 5/5 — Simple, yet complex . . . Planning helps.

*2022-10-25, version 0.3.10*

I got this to try find a game that didn’t constantly nag at me to buy some imaginary coins, or a hero, as the only way to get to the next level.

So far, I yes this for about 6 hours, idly responding while watching shows. The ads aren’t intrusive, that is brilliant. But wait, there are two levels of no-ads. I’ll get the more expensive one, cause why not. No ads, incl in the ‘bonus’ ones.

I set the little blighters to a task, they set out to it, yet if they see a need for say food, one or more will venture off to gather food. Then return to continue building the major project.

Absolutely simple graphics, simple but complex planning. You will get there, but some choices can speed it up. 

Great game. A+++

### 5/5 — Freezing

*2022-09-16, version 0.3.10*

This game freezes when you gather all resources to parade you need to keep restarting game

### 5/5 — Characters

*2022-08-29, version 0.3.10*

I truly believe that if the prices of the characters where cheaper, more people would buy them. Other than that, cute game!
