Ratings and reviews

Completely took over my life when I first got it, and i still go back to it every now and then to try the higher level characters (I've beaten 2 of the 4). Incredibly good game, and without overwhelming flashing animations. Only thing is that the text is a little small to read.

I love the pc version of the game, and bought the mobile version to keep playing on the go. but the mobile version is really not optimized. on the pc you have two mouse actions, on mobile you just have one drag. it's super easy to mix up recipes and moving cards around is honestly painful. scrolling is painful. I keep accidentally crafting recipes because I didn't drag to the precise spot. honestly as much as I like this game, I can't put up with it

According to my phone, I spend on average 4+ hours playing this game a day. The mechanics are surprisingly deep and realistic. The game is complex, but not annoyingly so because it's based on real life logic. It's like a lot of other survival games where you need to explore to find resources to craft things to survive, but instead of moving around spatially, movement between biomes costs time. Took me 250 in-game days to win the first time, now time to try one of the other characters!
