Theirs an issue with the game syncing between devices. I'll start making bowls, plant crops, open chests on one device close the game, come back to the game on another Device an hour later and it's as if I never did it. This is frustrating because you expect to come back to the game and progress only to have to do it all over again. Please fix this issue.

I think my favorite is when I'm down to only a few energy points, just enough to get the piece I need to finish a challenge, but my storage is full so as I gather it gets tossed in a basket behind a tree that costs several hundred to chop down and I never see it again. Or when I open a chest with a gold key, it took me hours of play to earn, only for the contents to end up in a box behind the same tree. The sparkle to remind me it's there and I can never get to it is extra special.

I really liked this game at first, but the side adventures started going by way too fast. You HAVE TO pay real money in order to complete the levels in time. I played this to relax, now it's just frustrating! $10 can be gone in 3 minutes trying to complete missions. It's awful! I spent $80 last month, I'm uninstalling this app at the end of the month! I really wanted to like this. Feels like money hungry developers take away the fun of games anymore!

It's a mixed bag here. I got the game thru an app to cash (though that remains to be seen), but I'm now level 16. It's not a bad game, just some issues that make it hard to actually reach your goals. Too many islands. The ship captain and the shaman want items, but you need said items to evolve your base camp. I got a quest that REQUIRES me to use 3 gold items to remove a downed tree in my town. Nope. The number of micro transactions is ridiculous. Stop reminding me I'm out energy.

It's definitely a fun game 2 play! Seams to be much better than any farm game & even the game sims! That's just my opinion. . Although just like EVERYTHING in life, there are ups and downs. Mine would have to be that they do not make a way for you to continue through the maps without having to make a purchase or 2 in order 2 make it to first, second, etc. I'm aware just like most games it will get harder the further you get. But I recall having to spend money a lot in the 20s levels.

Can barely stand this game. PLEASE STOP the bombardment of pop ups when you start the game! Way too many. I log in briefly to start something and my finger can't even do anything before I have to hit like 10 exit buttons! So I set a task to go... come back in 20 or so minutes and then I have to deal with it again. It is a total turn off.

I have played a long time but recent changes has made it impossible to play without spending a lot of $. There were special islands, you could make tools and keys that helped out now u have to complete all adventure islands to even get to them. Adventure islands cost so much in resourses , its not possible to finish them. Also the free energy chests do not work. Contacted support, went thru several steps to fix it, still don't work and now when I try to contact support the game just restarts!

I 100% agree with every negative review. This is not a casual game. Do NOT make in app purchases. You're timed, and if you don't collect your item before they close the level, they collect your money and you don't get your item. I purchased extra energy so I could spend it to get 10 keys, yesterday. I go back in this morning and the level is now closed... before I could collect the keys. So, good bye money, good bye keys, good bye app. I'm out.

Clearing basic obstacles costs way too much energy, and you can't chip away at big obstacles, it's all or nothing I'd like more that a couple of actions per loggin, and you shouldnt need to hypermax energy to clear stuff. Some items, ie salt for crafting restoratives are far too rare to spawn, and actually getting the item is RNG based, storage vs crafting is way too big of an issue. This is a pretty mediocre game, and most people will get tired of the cumbersome gameplay rather quickly.

They put time limits on quests and other island adventures. Not enough energy to collect items to make it through the whole island. Too many requirements of items and not enough energy to complete tasks. Plus bathrooms and showers for example keep breaking and no way to upgrade it. I've tried this game. It's really discouraging.

I like the game but it's almost impossible to move on to the next level without spending your own money on energy. I've been on 11 for days and u have to build things and need so much stuff in order to build it and then the items you need take up all your energy on just one item and u really need 11 of them.... just ridiculous.... u cant even do anything while u wait for ur energy to load back up. Very disappointing!

Not a bad game, it's a little glitchy but nothing you can't work through. I downloaded the game through a "get paid to play" app, but after I finish the list to get paid, I think I'll keep playing. It's soothing, and easy to keep going without making purchases. Games like this you usually run out of energy within the first few minutes, but I was able too keep going for an hour or so- hit lvl 10 before I ran out of energy completely.

Well it's better, but I still feel uneasy about the fake ads. The events mostly need lots money (of course) but some f2p can clear at least 1 or more if they wish to pay a little. Fun and entertaining a game with a bit of bottleneck for crafting for longevity, still the devs do listen, so you can contact them within the game itself if you have a problem(glitch or bug etc.)

I absolutely love this game but lately it feels like anything that becomes something to look forward to, well, then soon it'll prob disappear, become unattainable, or beyond reasonable to costwise. Logging in for 5 mins of play time is losing its appeal. I've spent money in past but even thats pointless when it still can't get through even half the event, not fun. Especially when it feels it wasn't so hard or expensive a month ago, or a month before that, etc... which is totally how it feels btw

I'm going to recommend this game to people I want to passively aggressively annoy. This game is defeating and frustrating. You don't get enough energy to gather resources to create items in order to upgrade buildings. It takes too much resources to clear challenges and not enough energy. Everytime you level up, the requirements to level up next increases. I un-installed this game and quit.

Look, you keep trying to "better" the game, but you're killing the fun. I don't want to finish a challenge to access the bonus islands! Put them back as they were. If I want to waste my time making keys or collecting coins, let me! Don't force me to slog through dumb islands where EVERYTHING has an absurdly high energy cost just to make an item. That's NOT fun. It's not challenging. This game isn't designed to be challenging!

I absolutely love this game and honestly, I've spent a fair amount of money on it. However, lately the game has been bugging out and cutting off in the middle of me doing a task. Also, I've lost A LOT of opportunities for free energy because after I watch the ad, the game stops and when I start again, I don't have the free energy and the opportunity is gone. Please fix the bugs and I will change my review!!!
