Forest Island 12+

Love it!

The aesthetics are the best I’ve ever seen and the quality is I also love. I think you should have less things cost money because they’re all too cute. but really, it’s like the cutest game I’ve ever played. I love all of the graphics and the new pets that she could get I love that you could you could evolve all of your pets and get new islands like I said before I feel like you should have less things cost money and maybe have less ads I know you barely have ads in the game. Still the game is so nice and in such a unique game I love to play it. I just got it today. I haven’t started playing it. maybe add some more animals in it but really I shouldn’t be talking because I just started the game. Maybe add like more like a jungle island if you haven’t had one and have like a tiger or something or sloths or koalas or whatever more cute animals because I’m only on the bear when I just got the bear done the bear Island best game I ever played I’m not gonna stop playing it every time I get home from school yes I am a kid is that OK with you? I DK why it’s 12 is it ages 12? an older it’s really a game for any kid as long I don’t really know why it’s 12 and older though. Love the game. Keep up the good work love, Allison.

It’s not a passion project

Although the game is beautiful, I am beyond disappointed by how few animals you can get without paying. They constantly beg you to buy expansion packs, and it’s a huge let down that I can’t host my favorite animals on my islands because the game only gives you a small selection- thirteen common animals and nine rare ones. It’s a calming game for sure, I love the sound effects and the music, and I really appreciate the “enjoy nature” mode where you can listen to the sounds of nature in each island. However, the positives do little to distract from how badly this game wants to profit off of you. If the developers made the game more out of their own passion, they would allow it to be enjoyed to it’s fullest by anyone willing to download. Instead, they allow only a small look into the promise of the game, and keep the rest closed off for only a small few to experience.

While the instagram page does host events in which randomly selected people can win special upgrades, there are only around five winners for each event, and once it’s gone, there’s no way to pay for the missed upgrades in-game.

Overall, it’s a good game if you have the money to pay for more and more upgrades. The freely downloadable game is a demo, though not advertised as such. It’s shocking how little of the game’s overall features are either inaccessible to those who download free, or completely lost in past events.

A ton of ads/paid content

Pros: Super cute concept and art style. You can both level up/increase the number of each animal, and each animal also has a ‘rare’ variant that can be gotten by opening chests. Once you’ve sufficiently leveled up each area, you get access to a unique nature audio that you could listen to while sleeping, meditating, etc. Definitely has a lot of potential.

Cons: Ads everywhere. There’s the usual ones to triple your offline income and to get a set amount of in game money. But then there’s also ads to participate in daily events, open chests, complete goals, etc. You have no choice but to watch some number of ads to progress in this game, which is kind of lame. There’s also a lot of paid content. There’s both a battle pass and a ton of individual animals that you have to buy individually to get. The prices are generally low (a dollar for a frog, 5$ for a special bear), but those things add up quickly for consumers. There’s also this kind of unpleasant thing the devs have done with chests; when you use in game crystals (rare) to open a chest, instead of the usual accept/next/continue button, they put a button to spend more crystals on another chest and put the exit button off to the side. I have several times now accidentally/unwillingly spent crystals on additional chests I didn’t want.
