J’aime le fait de pouvoir jouer sans avoir à faire des achats intégré obligatoire ou de devoir attendre d’avoir assez d’énergie. La seul contrainte c’est le spawn des matériaux, mais le temps d’attente n’est pas un obstacle. Je suis très satisfaite et heureuse d’avoir trouver ce jeux génial et addictif. Impatient de voir ce que vous nous réservez encore. ### 4/5 — Rediscovered *2026-08-05, version 1.7.700* I remember loving this game as a kid and I am ELATED that it still exists now that I’m 25. Already loving my experience after finally finding it again. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-04, version 1.7.700* Good game but has aged a bit ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-08-03, version 1.7.700* Love it ### 3/5 — Hugh *2026-08-03, version 1.7.700* Gunner ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-03, version 1.7.700* Good game ### 5/5 — 牛 *2026-07-31, version 1.7.700* 牛 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Decepcionada *2026-08-01, version 1.7.700* Más de 4 años sin finalizar el juego por parte de los programadores. Me siento engañado, además es bueno el juego ### 1/5 — Было легендарно *2026-07-16, version 1.7.700* Но превратили в донатную помойку. Невозможно ничего играть по человечески, пока не купишь эти алмазы. ### 1/5 — Regresa *2026-07-14, version 1.7.700* Ghehfjg ### 1/5 — Que pena *2026-07-10, version 1.7.700* Fastidia un poco que no hayan terminado el juego y haga como 4 años que no lo actualizan. ### 1/5 — Impossible missions *2026-04-07, version 1.7.700* This game is designed to be impossible to play unless you buy a lot of gems. Shame on them. So greedy. I purchased 20 worth so far and the game still can’t be played. i’m tapping out. You got my 20 I’m done. ### 1/5 — Very confusing registration *2026-02-17, version 1.7.700* Total says it all. No matter what I entered they said I was wrong. Never played the game before. How could I be wrong. I never have cared much for G5 games and now I remember why. I deleted game and put A label on iPad to remind me G5 is a NO-NO!!!!! ### 1/5 — VERY GOOD *2025-11-22, version 1.7.700* Very fun and show survival skills ### 1/5 — Crashed *2025-11-15, version 1.7.700* This game crashed on me and I lost a good few hours worth of gaming as when it restarted it took me back to the beginning of chapter 4 (after showing me an error message to contact the developers). I had also spent money on emeralds- this has now been a complete waste and I would like a refund. I would be willing to update this review as I was enjoying the game, if someone is able to respond to this- but for now I've been put off playing. Compared to the two other related games, (I have been enjoying this series), the waiting times on everything added to this version just makes the game crashing even more infuriating. ### 1/5 — 遊戲中沒有動物 *2025-09-01, version 1.7.700* 不能進行下去 ### 1/5 — Jj *2025-08-24, version 1.7.700* Gui ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Отзыв *2026-09-05, version 1.7.700* Хорошая игра ### 5/5 — Add more to the game please *2026-09-04, version 1.7.700* LOVE this game. It’s been a few years since I played it, and there still isn’t a new update 😢 PLEASE add more content to the game so I can continue playing it 😊 ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-09-03, version 1.7.700* Love it. So original. ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2026-09-02, version 1.7.700* I recommend playing this game, it’s really fun!!! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-30, version 1.7.700* Such a fun game ### 5/5 — 怀旧中 *2026-08-28, version 1.7.700* 我喜欢这个游戏。如果能玩到2就好了 ### 5/5 — Top game *2026-08-27, version 1.7.700* I have played this game numerous times over the years, I love it! It takes a long time to gather what you need and there have been a few glitches, otherwise it’s great. I hope there has been an update to the second island. ### 5/5 — 1 *2026-08-24, version 1.7.700* good ### 5/5 — Update *2026-08-22, version 1.7.700* Please finish story ### 5/5 — Fun Quests *2026-08-22, version 1.7.700* I am so happy to have found this game again. It is a lot smoother than I remember. Thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
