One of my Favorites!

I’ve loved this game since I played it the first time. I remember getting introduced to the Virtual Villagers games by my mom when I was little and I was so excited to find them on the app store. I’m in my 20s now and still love them so much!

Terrible

Tried about four times to keep a game going but it’s impossible to keep everyone alive with no food . the honey runs out after a few collections and there’s no mushrooms for kids to collect. People keep refusing to do a task and wander off worried about food and you can’t make enough points to buy construction level 1 to build the lift and it’s impossible to get three adept builders when you need them to get points in science and two are kids and one has a baby! You’re doomed from the start. Id like to know if anyone gets past the first 48 hours alive.

Entire save reset

Absolutely devastated, been playing daily for weeks almost completed the game only to be met with when I went to check how my villagers were doing entire save was gone and it’s wiped everything. Don’t waste your time on a game the developers don’t care to update you’ll work so hard getting all your tech points and completing all the puzzles ect just for one day everything to be gone and to be put back to the start of the game. Wasted a few weeks of my time wasn’t worth the purchase just bump the real game on pc, much better experience.

Population limit

I can’t seem to have more baby villagers.
