Eine lohnende Investition

Wer ein Aufbauspiel ohne viel Bohei sucht, ist hier richtig. Kein Internetzwang, keine IAPs, moderater Stromverbrauch und vor allem ein richtiges Idle Game, das nicht die ganze Zeit laufen muss und bei Abwesenheit die Produktion auf ein Minimum herunterschraubt. Mein erster Durchlauf dauerte knapp 100 Tage und ich habe direkt den nächsten gestartet. Die Pioneers kommen auch ohne einen ganz gut klar und wenn man mal zu wenig Ressourcen hat, dann bricht während einer längeren Abwesenheit nicht gleich die gesamte Wirtschaft zusammen. Die Menüs und die gesamte Oberfläche ist klar strukturiert, durchdacht und schnell begreifbar. Ich bin begeistert von der Knuddelgrafik und freue mich schon auf den 2. Teil!

Volle Empfehlung!

This is a great game

I’ve been playing over a year now and have wrapped it a few times to unlock new custodians. Will buy the 2nd game when it launches :)

great but a bit buggy

I’ve experienced a couple persistent bugs related to production. For example, the farm that produces material for rope/paper wouldn't begin production unless i removed the farm and placed it again.

Another one that is more persistent is the production of booze. I would come back to the app the next day and see that pioneers weren’t happy because they didn't have enough booze. i would build another farm and think i have it resolved. next day same thing…

I began to notice that when i returned to the game after a break their production was halted because they had no available storage. How could that be though if the people don’t have enough? I then noticed that if I tap on the farm it would clear the error and production would resume.

This bug was a bit of a dealbreaker for me… I couldn’t progress to the next level bc the Pioneers weren’t happy enough to upgrade. Sad because it had a ton of potential. Im going to check out the sequel… hopefully these bugs were resolved.

Love this game

Edit: I had to come back and edit because this game is by far my favorite. I’m on round 3 and it’s every bit as fun as the first time. It’s the right amount of everything. Definitely addictive, but doesn’t distract you *too much* from your daily life. Challenging but not frustrating. The developer is working on a new game and I can’t wait for him to publish it.
***************

I’ve only been playing this game for about a week but I’m hooked. Raves: 1- The game play is simple, yet complex. It involves strategy and brain power to manage your resources efficiently. As soon as school starts I will recommend this game to my students. I’d much rather they play this than be on Tik Tok. 2- No ads, no in-game purchases, no subscriptions. I am sick of playing “free” games that require you watch ads. $3.99 is an incredible deal. 3- Community support. The developer has a discord channel and a wiki page for support. I like what the developer is doing. He seems invested in his game and listens to feedback. As soon as I’m done with this review I will be looking to see if he has other games.

Cons: I feel like I have to put something, but honestly there aren’t any, other than a suggestion for a feature. It would be nice to have a world map view of your islands and trade routes.

Edit:
After playing the game for a little while longer, this “con” isn’t feasible. Having this feature would be impossible. I’ll have to get back with you for a real con. I simply cannot think of anything negative to say!

The perfect mobile game

I love so many things about this game. It’s offline, super chill and forgiving, it gets better and better the longer I play. I’m hooked. Thank you Tobias for this game 🙏
