Family Island — Farming game 12+

Idk

It's disappointing because this game is actually kinda fun, but they are giving it to a scammer claiming you will get $750 for Shein if you get to level 9. I played just because I liked it, but I don't want to anymore because this is so dishonest and I don't support any company or app that participated in scamming and robbing people of their money. I say that because the scam to get "free money" requires you to pay for a lot, promises just this game then it's 20 games and subscriptions you don't even want. Even reaching level here, u still don't even get the $5. Please be more mindful of who u allow to use your app for these things because if I came across this in an ad, and played like I did, I would have given 5 stars because it actually is alot of fun and you don't need to pay much to play. However, being tied to a scam that's being advertised on TikTok and other social media platforms with bots faking that the deal is in any way real. Sorry but again, major put off because now I'm sure there's something up with your company and scammy as well. So if you came here and saw this review after seeing that ad, DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND PLAY! It's honestly shocking companies are still pulling this scam. Advertise your game yourself, it's not bad it's actually good. Step away from those who will tank your app and give it a bad name and just do the right thing. It's so sad because you don't see the known games

Another great game brought down a notch by a cash-grabby energy system

Actually a very solid game, great bones here but the devs have unfortunately kinda gone the route of wringing every penny they can from players with an incredibly fickle energy system. Using just the energy you get for free on a daily basis you can maybe get a solid half hour of play time, otherwise you’ll need to pay or hope there’s an abnormally generous event going on. I do appreciate that ads aren’t shoved in your face, but it would be nice to have somewhere in the menu you can watch them by choice on a regular basis in exchange for energy, I’d also be more than happy to pay some monthly fee to get extra energy to use daily, but paying the $2-3 that a small energy pack costs per day is a budget I have no desire to devote to a mobile game. I don’t understand the full economics of “ftp” mobile games, but I know what advertising costs in general and can’t imagine anyone would get laid off if you let people watch ads by choice in exchange for some amount of energy; I realize this is already a choice, but it’s currently limited to a finite number of boxes stuck around the map, rather than as a menu option you can flip to anytime. Like I said, this is a great game, which is all the reason I’m disappointed by all this. It’s got my recommendation either way, but could 100% stand some improvements to allow people who want to to get immersed in a solid play sesh without running into an energy wall 15 minutes in.

Would help if I could play……

So the game is alright and was doing fine until day before yesterday. I go to open the game and absolutely nothing happens! Can’t play it! I come on to the game through another game and have a time limit on getting through levels here. Not much good if I can’t even open it.

Update: I’m able to play again but I still won’t give 5 stars because it’s too darn expensive to play this game. Once you run out of energy, especially during an event that you’ve worked hard at…..it becomes extremely depressing. Spent way too much money just trying to accomplish some certain thing that must be done before you can go on. I haven’t been able to finish an event yet! It’s ridiculous! I understand you want to make money on this but you’ve gone way overboard! I’m on a fixed income so I can’t just spend spend spend. The game was fun, but it’s now very depressing. Thank the lord I only have one more level to complete to get my bonus from my original game so I can delete this game! I would have kept it, but you people are greedy. Your game is no longer fun like a game should be. That’s sad. So people, download it if you want, it is a fun game with great graphics, but plan on spending a lot of money if you ever want to get anywhere with it!
