Isle Builder: Click to Survive 12+

I like this game, needs a few tweaks.

I agree with another reviewer about little people needing to continue working while out of the game. Even if you have to watch videos to get out of game constructing time. I also noticed if I leave the game after watching multiple videos, I lose all of the resources the plane has dropped. I feel they should be added to the stockpile if the crates are going to disappear each time I leave for a few minutes to answer my phone or messages.

This game will crash and you will lose crates you have paid for. DO NOT SPEND MONEY

Do not spend money in this game. You will lose it when the game crashes and you can’t restore purchase. You just lose all the crates you have bought even if they have not been deployed.
Also you will wait forever for workers to gather materials but then they just stand around and never start crafting. So you have to restart game and then you have to began collecting materials from the beginning, and you you had used crates that you bought, you have lost that money. There is no way to recover the money that was spent just because the game crashes.
Developers need to reimburse for such instances. Apple needs to be aware that there is an app that is crashing and causing individuals to lose money and with an ineffective restore purchase button. If this is by design then that is straight up theft. There is no app support from game developers and there is no way to recover money that is lost from crates that you buy because when the game crashes you lose the crates that you bought whether or not they have been deployed or if they are still in your bank it’s still resets to zero and you were still charge the money.

Not bad, but…

The game isn’t bad by any margin. It’s a fun game with tons of hours you can dump into it when you’re bored. It even does what the ads say and isn’t a complete lie on download (a rarity in today’s game store)! The issues start arising after you get about an hour in and two/three tiers of buildings in.

So the way this game works is by collecting resources with villagers and building stuff to get off the island, mostly requiring you to build lvl 1 buildings and upgrade them to do what needs to be done. Cool, got that and the progression makes sense.

… except it doesn’t.

The storage is very small for resources that you can collect and the buildings require more than what is on the map at times. 50 storage capacity for a tier where buildings require 800+ of that resource. And for some reason, the gathering of resources in storage is 1 at a time instead of what seems like 5+ at a time from the actual resource spots themselves. Which makes getting resources out of storage consume more time than actually mining it from the source.

It seems to punish players for using the storage system, when it also requires that storage system to unlock certain buildings and their later tiers.

The progression is flawed and forces you to spend more time collecting than is needed and drains the map of resources faster than it can reproduce them.

Not a bad game, but the resource management is atrocious.
