I saw this game i clicked on it and watched the ad. It looked good so i got it. Its a good game. I have a few things to make it better. 1st i try to watch an ad to get the gold axe. Then when im done with the video it closed the app. It only does this 1 out of a few times. 2nd So on to the buildings i agree with some poeple even though you did fix the “buildings have no purpose “ problem its still really bad. Almost no buildings have a purpose and the ones that do are upgrades (really helps don’t change that part) and these wood ones. Those are the confusing ones. See they say 0/50 or 0/100 and i thought i had to use the wood to build something else. But no it was just giving it to me. At first i thought it was a glitch. I closed the game and went back in. It still was happening. Then I finally realized,thats not it. How? I was going to do somthing then i came back and i saw it go from 34/50 to 35/50 i then went to it. Really i would just like to change that and the upgrades to be less expensive and better upgrades. Or you cpuld add more i would ask you to do that. I dont want players to confuse themselves like i did. I wont delete the game i just will stop playing till you at least try to fix that. This took me almost 30 minutes to write. Please look at this Development. Sincerely ????? ( im not telling the people who look at this my name )
The game is great. I love small games that I can almost idle play. I have ADD and games like this give me something to do with my hands that feels like it’s actually going towards improving something. I’ve gotten everything done that I can so far, waiting on the 4th world to open up now. Love the game. Unfortunately though, the performance isn’t the best on my iPhone X. I’ll play for maybe 5 minutes and then my phone gets really warm to the point where my screen dims and the game becomes a slideshow. If I’m just standing there it’s fine, but once I run it gets bad, and when I’m actually chopping trees it’s horrific. The absolute best thing this game could benefit from right now is some optimization, though I’m not sure what the developers long term intentions are with this game, or if there are any at all. Overall, I give it a 4/5 because it just misses the mark with performance. I can forgive it not having a ton of gameplay right now, it’s a new game with 3d elements, but I can’t forgive the performance issues while there’s still so little in the game.
Craft island is a great small indie game. It’s simple enough for kids to use and be entertained as well as adults to pass time. Since it is an indie game on the market today there are ads, a lot of ads, but that can be bypassed with a $0.99 purchase or just using airplane mode. So far there are 3 power ups you can find in game that might prompt an ad watch: the golden axe, the big axe, and the pot of gold. The golden axe will give you unlimited damage allowing you to knock all trees down with one swipe, which is useful. The big axe allows you to reach further so you can chop more trees at once. And the pot of gold gives you extra gold with the ad watch giving you double the amount given. So far there are two worlds to explore and upgrade with increasing levels of trees so wood gathering isn’t too tedious. Though they’re fairly easy to beat, I’ve only had the game for 3 days and I’ve been able to get the maximum upgrades on all my shops, tools, and houses as well as unlock every piece of the island. I can see this game is very new but I’d love to see it grow into something even better, possibly add character customization or character upgrades other than just the axe. Over all a good game but the ads can also pop up even when you deny the power up so that’s why the one less star.
