### 2/5 — Hard

*2023-09-10*

Very hard
But good

**Developer response:** Glad you’re enjoying it! In a future update I’ll tweak the difficulty - thank you for your help and feedback!

### 5/5 — Extremely Addictive

*2023-01-13, version 1.1*

Had a blast playing this. Easy to pick up and play on the go. Highly recommend giving it a look.

### 3/5 — A Good Start

*2023-01-08*

Stack islands is a moderately innovative take on the stacking genre of mobile games. It is a lot of fun when you get going and start to make creative and high islands. Going through each new world while simultaneously getting better is a pleasure. The achievements also feel cool despite there being some bugs with them. The ad system is not intrusive which is great compared to other modern casual games.

However, the “new take” on the stacking game can hinder your enjoyment of the gameplay itself. The moving camera of around the island is one of the main problems with this game. Although it is there to show the sea around you, the player rarely sees anything besides a blank ocean. Over all of this, the biggest issue with the camera is that it hurts the players ability to actually play the game and stack. There are angles that are hit where you can’t even see when to tap and have to do it based off a almost guess. There is also a lot of bugs and improvements that need to be worked on, one of which being a more detailed settings menu. This really is a good start to a new game, but it would’ve been nice if it wasn’t so barebones. The late game is hard to enjoy as well as you don’t feel rewarded for being a top player or completing the game. Despite its casual tag, a casual game takes a lot more work than this one got, but with enough work it could be fixed. 

5/10

**Developer response:** Wow, thank you for the most thoughtful review I’ve had yet ☺️ I appreciate the kind words, and thanks for sharing your feedback so directly! Well considered insights.

I hope you play again in the future, and please do feel free to contact me directly (dean.longmore@gmail.com) if you have other input you’d like to share. I’d love to be able to ask you more questions too!

A sincere thank you for taking your time to review this game and surely many others 🙇‍♂️

### 5/5 — Stacks of Fun

*2023-01-05, version 1.0*

A fun challenging game! Making mountains out of mad skills. 

I now need to eat some pancakes

### 5/5 — A great little thing to while away wait time

*2023-01-03, version 1.0*

One seems to wait for something or somebody almost every day. This little game is a perfect distraction while you wait. Colorful, relaxing and ever so slightly competitive.  Perfect!

### 5/5 — Satisfying and so addictive!

*2023-01-02, version 1.0*

This is one of those games you think you have the willpower to put down..Until you see that one mate of yours has just beaten your previous score and then you’re right back at it! I really love stack games but I particularly love the twist of this one - being able to see the mountain you have formed when it’s all said and done.

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2023-01-01, version 1.0*

I love it!

Have been enjoying this game with the kids, setting new records and watching unique mountains come to life. Love it!

### 5/5 — Accidentally lost myself for an hour

*2023-01-01, version 1.0*

Scratches the same itch a lot of those arcade prize timer games do, very fun!

### 5/5 — The most fun I've had with a stacking game!

*2022-12-31, version 1.0*

Fun little stacking game with rather satisfying haptics. It's lots of fun building big archipelagos and mountains!
