### 3/5 — Could be so great

*2024-10-16*

All these reviews from yearssss ago are still relevant like literally the same after 10 day bug, no new updates, no skippable time etc but a price increase that I feel played by bc it seems to be the exact same game

### 3/5 — Good strategic game but too difficult

*2024-03-31, version 1.1.0*

This game was really fun to play at first, as we have to be alive day by day. However, when the life is not so lucky, you may find yourself knocked by coconuts falling from the tree and make you have a severe headache. Then there is no way to find any treatment and finally your life is taken away. Yes, that was what my character experienced. I even purchased a full version, hopefully to be able to play longer than a few days, but it didn’t happen like that. I got a refund as I thought it was not what I expected. Please, the dev team, just adjust a bit for the difficulty of the game.

### 4/5 — Very good - wish you could eat away from camp...

*2021-03-11*

....and drink. It would be great to be able to choose where to set up camp too.

But this game is simple yet challenging.

### 4/5 — Great game, keep coming to it

*2021-02-21, version 1.1.0*

Great game to play, sometimes annoyed with the shelter’s deterioration rate but I still like the game a lot.
A suggestion though, I wish we can have a skip button for scores each day so games could move faster :) 

Hope the game is still getting new developments soon

### 3/5 — Freezing Issue

*2020-07-30*

I paid for the full version and made it to day 20. It will not let me sleep or it freezes

### 3/5 — Fun to try but can be better

*2020-05-08, version 1.1.0*

The beginning is tough but once you get enough material you will be survived. They only use one day game time trial to hock you up paying. But after that the game doesn’t have much entertainment. It get bored easily with same routine and hard to maintain the hut to upgrade for exploring more.
The atmosphere is delightful and cute. The level is quite hard from beginning and hard to upgrade the hut and maintain it. Will be great the map can be more or more functions.

### 3/5 — Great Potential if you add more items....

*2020-02-21*

I played the trial version & I love the game, but I don’t feel like it’s worth $3.99. 
Maybe if the developers could add more to it, it’d be a great buy, but for now I’ll keep checking back for more updates.

### 3/5 — Taster

*2019-12-29*

Be aware that this is not the full game, it is a taster of the game. You can only play one day, and the rest you have to pay for.

From what I can tell from the taster, there doesn’t look like there’s enough content for a pay to play game.

### 2/5 — Meh.......

*2019-10-02*

Game was good but £3.99 for a lack of graphics and story? It’s a meh from me.
If it was cheaper then I would buy it.

### 2/5 — Health bar drains to fast

*2019-08-13*

Awesome game idea. However, I can’t survive past day 4 lol. I think that if there were some simple game updates/changes it could be a really great idea and more people would play. Which could make a profitable game

### 2/5 — going to quit soon

*2018-09-12, version 1.1.0*

I love the game but way too difficult to build shelter and survive!!! not happy!!

### 2/5 — Very hard.

*2018-05-13, version 1.1.0*

How to alive more than 3 days?

### 1/5 — Bugs and glitches.

*2022-04-16*

I really liked this game and I was happy to pay the $3.99 but about 10-15 days into my game it glitches and wouldn’t let me sleep and recover energy which is a required function of the game. It became unplayable. I tried to delete it and re-download but the bug repeated about 10-15 days in. Sad. Should be an easy fix for them though.

### 1/5 — Dishonest Bait n Switch

*2020-04-17*

Beware. This game masquerades as free but it’ll only let you play the first night free then you’ll have to pay to unlock the rest.

### 1/5 — Like it but

*2020-01-04*

I like the game. It was fun for like 3 days of survival but now it’s just routine and I feel like it’s not worth 3.99 it’s worth .99
I paid for the 3.99 just to get stuck waiting for supplies to upgrade my shelter, there’s no way to look for these specific items yourself and it’s annoying. It doesn’t progress any father then a few steps. And not worth the buy. Tip: do not pay for it. Just play for free.

Ok I’m trying to play it (because I paid for it) and it keeps freezing up. I deleted my old one to try to get further and it freezes up after counting the score (which I wish could be skipped) and it then it’s endless night and the only way to fix it is to delete the whole game and start over (which is what happens when you play the free version). 
Again do not pay for it.

### 1/5 — Kinda disappointed

*2019-04-28*

There should be more options than what are offered. (Crafting, clothing, shoes etc.) Not worth the price I just paid for it, but the game has potential with some updates!

I’ve been playing this game for a while now, and today I come back and all the progress is lost, all the supplies and food stored is gone. 
Very Disappointing game, needs some major work. Also the option to save should be there so all the progress isn’t lost after death.

### 1/5 — Not a very long game

*2017-12-30*

I keep dying in very little time

### 2/5 — dont bother

*2026-08-13*

it seemed fun at first, but the annoyances soon stack up. Sitting through the painfully slow scoring screen and sleep screens, which cant be skipped or sped up. It takes 5-10 days to gather enough resources to build a shelter,  and within a day its eroded to 0% and has to be rebuilt from scratch. Stupid

### 2/5 — not worth the $

*2024-03-14*

save your money on this one! i love the baker business 3 game by the same people, but this one isn’t worth $3.99 for the full version! it’s glitchy and doesn’t haven’t enough substance to it.

### 2/5 — I stg I wanted this to be fun

*2022-12-10*

I paid. If I could actually have any success it would be great but u hardly get the stuff to build a shelter before dying. This game needs improvement to be satisfying. I played 16 games, only made it to the 6th day once and only built a shelter twice. If y’all just fix some of the game play it would be such a slay.

### 2/5 — ??

*2022-07-09*

the longest I’ve survived is three days 😑😑

### 2/5 — Great Game but too Difficult

*2021-03-07, version 1.1.0*

Hi developer. The game is great but too difficult. I can't find large rock! And there are too many shelter kit.i can't plan what to do and die from the bug bite haha.. hope you keep developing the game. I am the fan of survival game and would love to play more from this :)

### 5/5 — 👌🏽

*2024-02-01*

I really enjoy this style of gameplay, gets you hooked in for hours, one complaint i do have is I wish the shelter wouldn’t have to be upgraded so often, it’s a pain to make sure you have everything ready to go

### 5/5 — Quite cool!

*2023-10-08*

Discovered this game recently! Quite fun. Wish it was a lot faster during the sleeping and point tracking... and that the shelter didn't need repairs so much. Hard to upgrade. Really like the details and variety with food, fire building and medicine! Excellent details 😁

### 5/5 — Living wild

*2020-04-18, version 1.1.0*

This game is very good. However it is very challenging

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing!!!

*2019-12-15*

I can’t get over this. The day I am writing this review is December 15. It’s almost Christmas and I have asked for gift cards, and the first thing I willl do with them is buy the full version of this game.

I have deleted this game so many times to just install it again. It’s so fun and is very different from other survival games.There is nothing about it that I don’t like(almost!) The one thing I don’t like is that you can’t make clothing. Idk if you think it would be useless but I guess it could protect from various injuries.Just saying. I also don’t reeeeeeeallllllly think the full version is nessarcry, but it fine. Thanks for reading my review and I hope to get gift cards for Christmas!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing but could use improvement!

*2019-09-10*

I love how cartoonish the game is while still having that bit of gritty vibe. It is far better than many other low budget survival games, but through a few it could be majorly improved!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2019-06-12, version 1.1.0*

Update this game pls it’s really fun

### 5/5 — I LOVE ❤️THIS GAME

*2019-03-12, version 1.1.0*

I can survive for 15 days. So addict. ❤️❤️

### 5/5 — I love it

*2019-03-08*

I love it, very challenging

### 5/5 — So good!

*2018-07-08*

I’ve been waiting for a survival game like this for a LONG time! It’s exactly what I wanted in this kind of game. The other games like this are too hard to navigate and difficult. This one is challenging but not too much. I’m addicted and can’t stop playing. Wish there was an FAQ/game help/ tips - BUT I’m figuring it out just fine.

### 5/5 — Very addictive!

*2017-12-11*

It’s like being your very own bear Grylls while in the comfort of your living room! Haha Enjoyable addictive game! ☺️☺️
