my favourite game. truly the best survival game. lower stress than others because you can choose the pacing. however, every time I leave the app, the screen goes black and I have to restart from whenever I last saved. Saving before I have to go to a different app really helps. It says this game is for an older version of Android, maybe it needs some update so it stops shutting down like this?

Really enjoyed the game on Console as well as on Android. But rearranging the Shelter needs to be optimised. Please make items 'snap' to each other so its easier to make the most out of your space, its really frustrating trying to arrange things inside the shelter, especially on mobile. Also, making the occasional mutant beast passing by on the surface would be a nice touch. Great game but needs upkeep.

The game is an excellent concept. Managing your people is fun, and there is a good amount of procedural events that can mess with your attempts to maximize efficiency (not unlike RimWorld). But the controls are awful. I never know what is clickable and have trouble knowing when I've clicked it. Cycling through people is harder than it should be. I need to move my people aside so that they can use the very object they were standing in front of. Expeditions are a neat idea, but you don't get to see much of them (one of Fallout Shelter's biggest flaws). Many of the systems clash. It's fiddly to start or stop a task, and this has led me to for instance, accidentally send my little girl into the wasteland alone without a haz mat suit or a gas mask - 1. I couldn't cancel the expedition; 2. I already put her and her mother in haz mat suits, and then they took them off when going on the mission; and I didn't know that the suits don't have filters, so I didn't think to pack her a gas mask; 3. When I realized they were leaving without suits, I canceled the expedition for her mom but then had no way to cancel it for her. Placing objects you're crafting is a nightmare, because I have to find an area outside re hit box in order to move the screen to the correct area. And crafting is also odd because I have no in-game way to know where the components can be found. It is extremely hard to manage the colony's inventory. These UI issues need to be fixed. And the clashing systems. The underlying gameplay is pretty good, but the design on the surface has too many problems.
