### 5/5 — Simple but addictive

*2024-11-11, version 0.9.7*

I was a little confused with the rules at first but realised after a couple of plays it’s very simple and I was over complicating it. Great little game and may have to buy the physical version.

### 2/5 — reglas no oficiales

*2024-09-30*

no existe limite de recursos (4 cartas max).
interfaz no compatible con notch.
es resto está ok!

### 4/5 — schönes kurzweiliges Spiel

*2024-07-05*

Leider funktioniert die Punkteauswertung nicht.
Wenn ein Update dieses Problem behebt, gibt es 1 Stern mehr,

### 5/5 — Super Kartenspiel für Solo Partien

*2024-05-21*

Richtig klasse gemacht, wo sich im realen die Finger beim Kartenhalten verdreht. Empfehlung !

### 2/5 — Appli encore à développer…

*2023-08-14*

L’idée d’avoir le jeu « Palm Island » sur téléphone est bonne, mais l’appli est encore à développer… 
J’ai découvert au bout de plusieurs parties que le compteur de tours était défaillant : il saute parfois des tours… Impossible donc de finir le jeu, c’est frustrant !!
Le visuel mériterait aussi un coup de neuf …

### 5/5 — Tolles Kurzspiel

*2023-07-27*

Keine Bugs, gute Umsetzung, einfache Handhabung. Anleitung könnte etwas besser sein, aber man bekommt die Spielweise schnell raus.

Ob es 1:1 dem Kartenspiel entspricht weiß ich nicht.

Werde mir für Unterwegs das physische Kartenspiel kaufen, für Kinder das perfekte Mitbringsel.

### 1/5 — Plagiat

*2023-07-03*

Schlechte und darüber hinaus nicht lizenzierte Kopie eines phänomenal guten Solo-Kartenspiels.

### 5/5 — Absorbing and interesting

*2023-06-04, version 0.9.7*

Really enjoying this game - lots of replay value and achievements to add to initial resources really helpful. Would be handy to remind oneself what round we are on once halfway through as only tells you at the beginning of the round and it’s quite crucial to tactics and I have a terrible memory.

### 2/5 — Buggy & unauthorized

*2023-03-19*

This is a buggy and unauthorized clone of the remarkable card game Palm Island.  It doesn’t correctly support phones with a notch at the top and doesn’t properly reset your resource inventory between plays.  It also displays your achievements in Russian no matter what language you’ve chosen.

### 4/5 — Resources.

*2023-01-01*

Resources are a bit odd here bc you can clearly tap/store more than the four cards the card game rules state. I had 19 fish at one point in an early round. The resources also carry over from game to game and I’m not sure why. Shouldn’t I  start with none?  Not sure if this is a bug or a style of play that can’t be turned off. Still a challenging cool version for mobile play.
