### 2/5 — Good game, but…

*2026-03-16, version 1.2.10*

Very fun I love it, EXEPT for some reason the game always crashes when I try to collect seeds so I can’t progress any farther. Is anyone else having this problem on iPad?

### 2/5 — Big bug on saving progress

*2026-03-14, version 1.2.10*

I never review game before but I have to this time. I love the game concept, graphic and music. However, the game has biggest fault on one simple and critical function, which is allow player to save progress and resume the game. I had to start 6 times from level 2, and the last time I have reach level 4, when I come back next day, the progress is back to level 2. I will have to give up this game for now until this big bug is fixed, I play on iPad under Netflix account. I am happy to pay through iTunes to get a local copy if that option is available.

### 3/5 — Glitches a lot

*2026-03-02, version 1.2.10*

I used to like playing this game, just recently started playing again. Not sure why, but it glitches an awful lot and kicks me out often.

### 4/5 — Great game, super buggy

*2026-02-24, version 1.2.10*

I play on my iPhone.  It kicks me out often the further I get.  makes playing the second section very difficult

### 4/5 — Beautiful game, terrible bugs

*2026-02-20, version 1.2.10*

So fun, relaxing, great range in the difficulty levels. Such a satisfying achievement at the end of each level! But… I can’t access the new levels on iPhone - the app crashes every time. Patiently waiting for a fix so I can complete the game. Please Free Lives!! Would love to keep playing ☺️

### 3/5 — Crashes on last area

*2026-02-18, version 1.2.10*

Love this game but it crashes every time I try to start the Parched Dunes level on the last continent. Would be 5 stars if I could finish it!

### 2/5 — Bugs make it unplayable

*2026-02-08, version 1.2.10*

Buttons are really small for a phone app. 
Every item I place disappears after saving and exiting the game. It will show that the space is occupied and I cannot place new items there, but I can’t actually interact with or see what is occupying the space. Some items are required to be placed on top of or within certain vicinities of other items—can’t do it. 
If I want to have a successful play through of the game. I have to play with no breaks ever.

### 2/5 — Great game, but buggy

*2026-02-06, version 1.2.10*

Lovely game but to finish a level you have to take photos of certain animals and the game doesn’t recognise when the animal is there, no matter how many photos of it you take, so the only option is to use the debug menu and win automatically which just feels so weak

### 3/5 — App freezes too often

*2026-02-04, version 1.2.10*

I like the concept and it’s a lot of fun to plan strategy. I don’t like that the app freezes when loading like 25% of the time. I have to close and open it often.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2026-02-01, version 1.2.10*

Great game if it weren’t for the constant crashes

### 3/5 — Brilliant but crashy

*2026-01-20, version 1.2.10*

A fantastic game and idea but constantly crashes. If it’s Netflix that’s now funding this, how about spending some of its massive riches on fixing it?

### 4/5 — Fun game, but flawed

*2026-01-18*

Love the game overall. Very satisfying to help turn a wasteland into an animal paradise. However, it drains your battery and most importantly has some bugs. When you go back into a saved map, often buildings are gone and cannot be interacted with but the tiles they take up can no longer be built on. It broke one of my restores because the buildings registered for an animal’s ideal environment so I couldn’t get it in green (polar bear) but I couldn’t use anything to recycle the buildings either. Buggy unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Netflix Scam

*2026-03-12, version 1.2.10*

Don’t advertise this game as purchase and ad free then make my pay a 20$ a month subscription to Netflix to play it. Stop letting companies monopolize.

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2026-03-06, version 1.2.10*

Good game in theory but impossible to play due to constant crashes

### 1/5 — Can no longer progress due to crashing

*2026-02-21, version 1.2.10*

Game was fun but at a certain point, game crashes upon attempting to load the game. Based off other reviews from years ago, it doesn’t look like this will get fixed.

### 1/5 — Cannot complete

*2026-02-21, version 1.2.10*

The crashed on the Parched Dunes level and you can never complete it. Very cruel :,(

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2026-02-20, version 1.2.10*

Still crashing… the new area won’t load, crashed at map loading

Finished all the previous maps…

### 1/5 — Crashes after Canyon level

*2026-02-18, version 1.2.10*

This game has been out for how long now and it still has issues? Get this game fixed, I can’t even load the game now after playing the second Africa level. I closed the app to take a break and now it won’t load without crashing, and deleting the app means you have to start all over. What kind of thing is this that you’re pulling by not having the game even work? I’m so over this game crashing for no reason, and you expect people to pay for this game on steam? This is a joke. FIX the crashing!

### 1/5 — It’s a good game but I have a couple of problems

*2026-02-16*

First of all, you should have a mode to where it’s for beginners and it gives you CLEAR objectives. Also my biggest problem with this game is how hard it is to recycle things you’ve placed. If the things you’ve places are far from the water at all, there’s no way to recycle them for the objective. There are two ways to recycle items and you need to recycle all your builds for one objective along with taking pictures of all the animals, I have another problem with that but I’ll get to that in a little. One of the ways to recycle is on land and the other is on water. Mind you, the land recyclers count as one of your builds (one of the things you placed that need to be recycled) and they can only be recycled by water recyclers. So if a land recycler is too far from the water and not in range, there is no way to clear the objective and move on. I’ve played it through like four times and I’ve been stuck on that every time, I literally had one item left that needed to be recycled and it was a land recycler. Another issue I have which makes this same objective impossible is the fact that bears don’t hang out together. You’re supposed to get pictures of animals of the same type, 2 or more of them, just hanging out. The only problem is that the bears literally don’t come to the same place so I can’t get a picture of more than one bear. Another thing, the camera sometimes doesn’t recognise the animals even when they are on camera, so do better. I want to be able to enjoy this game.

### 1/5 — Need Netflix subscription to play

*2026-01-18, version 1.2.10*

Scummy behaviour not displaying this until after you download and try to play

### 1/5 — Game Ruining Crashing

*2026-01-17, version 1.2.10*

I’d give this game a 5/5 enjoyability BUT FOR the consistent and relentless crashing. I was able to ignore it for awhile, sighing and patiently reopening the game per crash which occurred maybe twice a map. But alas! The crashing intensified, increasing to every five or so minutes, and now the game won’t even make it through the loading screen without crashing. 
I research the issue, and people have been complaining about the crashing for at least 3 years. So disappointing.

### 1/5 — Stuck on a first tropics level

*2026-01-09, version 1.2.10*

So glad they fixed the crashes… made it to the tropics restoration level and can’t build the fourth biome because it keeps saying I need to build just one more monorail node …have built so many…

### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!

*2026-03-07, version 1.2.10*

I love it because it is like an earth saving game and unlike other games there are no annoying ads!❤️

### 5/5 — Hate to see it go!!

*2026-03-05, version 1.2.10*

I love playing this game. It’s got some bugs, but it’s such a great concept, and so fun to figure out a perfect world. I was too busy to play much last year, and it’s the worst to finally have the time, only to have them yank it. 🙁

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-01, version 1.2.10*

Completely hooked. This is in my top 3 of best strategy games of all time! I will be replaying this again. Playing on an old iPad and no bugs to report. Terra Nil 2 please!

### 5/5 — Slow start, Glad I kept playing.

*2026-02-13, version 1.2.10*

Playing on the 3rd difficulty. The game slowly opens up your options, and eventually forces you to think ahead on building/biome placement. Very cool concept! Neat to see they are still updating it. This would be great on Apple Arcade as well.

### 5/5 — INSANE GAME but.

*2026-02-10, version 1.2.10*

Personally I know this is ment to be a realism game but I think you should add fantasy biomes like a volcanic cavern where dragons live and a crystal cave where you have to use salt water and lava to make crystals. I Allso think you could add a lot more islands and biomes. Especially more maps where you have to get rid of oil AND nuclear waist. I Allso think you should make a liquid uranium puddle where if grass touches it then the grass turns irradiated

### 5/5 — Very enjoyable!

*2026-02-04, version 1.2.10*

I really enjoy this game! It’s fun, and relaxing. Challenging enough to make it fun, but not so hard that it’s frustrating. Wish we could clean up our own world this easily! I wish there were more levels to play.

### 5/5 — Just brilliant

*2026-02-01, version 1.2.10*

Engrossed for hours

### 5/5 — Great creator

*2026-01-07, version 1.2.10*

I love this game. I wish they would let you ride the monorail and see the land from a different vantage!!!!! If you love to create this is a great experience!

### 5/5 — More update

*2025-12-23, version 1.2.10*

Great game but is short. More map expansion would be nice

### 5/5 — Joyful

*2025-12-16, version 1.2.10*

I’ve completed three levels and loved them. No crashing or bugs, just a beautiful game.
