It takes two or three goes at it. Sometimes it doesn’t load at all. Please try and fix. ### 3/5 — Needs more updates *2024-09-07, version 2.3.7* Great game , really fun. Just wish the developers would keep updating it and releasing new content ### 4/5 — Can’t get past the elite black dog boss *2024-07-29, version 2.3.7* No health so it never dies! I like the game so far, I have been playing for a good 30 mins. ### 4/5 — Yup *2024-07-16, version 2.3.7* Good game ### 2/5 — Last checkpoint not working past 190 *2024-06-10, version 2.3.7* When I pass level 190 and lose and I choose to reload last checkpoint it starts at 190 even though I’ve passed other checkpoints I don’t restart on the last checkpoint I restart on level 190 checkpoint. Can you fix it. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Actually fun *2023-08-12, version 2.3.6* Calming to play and fun ### 5/5 — Remember that you are a very *2023-08-01, version 2.3.6* Remember the last thing that happened when ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game! *2023-07-04, version 2.3.6* Amazing game, only thing is I want a skip button for the intro and I’d like the game to stop highlighting offers and suggesting I make purchases ### 5/5 — Game *2023-06-18, version 2.3.6* Nice game ### 5/5 — hay *2023-04-24, version 2.3.6* hay ### 5/5 — Chill chill *2023-03-06, version 2.3.6* It’s a chill game I like it ### 3/5 — Awesome *2023-02-18, version 2.3.6* I really like the concept of this game but I’m running into some issues like the building won’t continue to upgrade when I’m off the game it says 3 hours the I get back on again it says the same thing ### 4/5 — Good so far *2023-02-05, version 2.3.6* Seems decent enough ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No support *2024-08-07, version 2.3.7* This was a great game but now there’s no support. I submitted tickets for help and never got a response. That’s too bad…. It was a great game until Playstack stopped supporting it. ### 1/5 — Game stuck on loading screen *2024-05-11, version 2.3.7* The game was fun for a week or so until the season ended and now I can’t play and get past the loading screen. I have submitted a ticket to the developer via their email zen desk platform, but still no response, so I’m tired of waiting and ready to move on. Update a week later: still no response from the developer about the issue, requesting refund. ### 1/5 — Well…… *2024-05-07, version 2.3.7* Downloaded the game, opened the app and it says connecting to server but does not connect to the server. I even let it sit for 40 minutes and nothing happened. ### 1/5 — Used to be good, now is an advertisement filled joke *2024-02-28, version 2.3.7* The actual game is good, or at least it was before they oddly decided to shove ads down your throat at every point just to squeeze £15 out of its poor player base. Monetisation like this shows how little care and respect the devs have for the players time and enjoyment as you can’t go 1 minute without an ad showing as well as a reminder you can get rid of them permanently for a price. Micro transactions are one thing and by themselves are bad enough but along with the ads, ad removal and other purchases it’s going a bit far no? I understand the game is free but really… On top of this, I also had an old account completely wiped and unable to retrieve because the Facebook link doesn’t work and according to the error the devs are aware that there is an issue and have done nothing about it. So I’ve lost all my previous progress because the devs are lazy and incompetent. Great work… Seeing how far this game has fallen from its fun , simple, fairer origins is disappointing and the devs should feel embarrassed about the state it’s in ### 1/5 — Potential but… *2024-02-09, version 2.3.7* This game has potential, but it appear to take an insane amount of time to gather resources and build compare to other games. This seems to be a game that requires you to spend $$$ to progress at a more reasonable rate. For this reason, I’m out. ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2023-09-03, version 2.3.6* Game was always a bit ‘buggy’, now the app won’t load at all, either always connecting to server or, if I get past that, it freezes on the loading progress bar! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2023-01-12, version 2.3.6* Twice now I have purchased the £7.99 special offer pack for passing a check point and the items haven’t come through. The money has been taken from my account. This game is a rip off. Do not buy! ### 1/5 — Good concept, bad balance *2023-01-08, version 2.3.6* Finally something new in game design. But it has so much space for gameplay improvements. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2022-08-17, version 2.3.4* Started out okay but once you start to gather resources or do anything the timer does not work and you have to us the diamonds just to play… looks like a great game. Please fix the bugs. ### 1/5 — Needs Bugs fixed *2022-02-24, version 2.3.0* I begin a 2 hour build at night and the next day still has almost two hours remaining. Am I suppose to sit there with the game on for two hours. And sometimes when in play, the count down build timer does not move. Fix your game plaese ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Chicken *2025-04-03, version 2.3.7* I like to eat chicken and chicken nuggets so yeah ### 5/5 — My friend says it good *2025-03-15, version 2.3.7* Good game ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-02-18, version 2.3.7* This is the best suvivle game ever ### 5/5 — Good game I like this style *2025-01-04, version 2.3.7* Very good game ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-10-30, version 2.3.7* Awesome fun ### 5/5 — Love the game nothing to say *2024-08-15, version 2.3.7* Really is a great game. I’ve been playing it since I was a kid. It takes a bunch of skills and it takes time to progress ### 5/5 — A lot of fun *2024-07-30, version 2.3.7* This game is a lot of fun! ### 5/5 — Shheeeesh *2024-04-04, version 2.3.7* Forgot how fun this was ### 5/5 — Question *2024-01-31, version 2.3.7* What’s the max a survivor can go ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-12-11, version 2.3.7* great game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
