I played this game for a while about a year ago, but stopped. Recently, I decided to come back and I came back to a different game. The developers say everything is easier because it takes less resources to upgrade buildings and what not. But it doesn't matter if it takes only five hammers as opposed to 10 to upgrade a building if you are unable to find any wood, stones or iron on the island to build the hammer. It's a disappointment.

I like the game, but it's really frustrating when it's going to take 50,000 energy to make 10 of one item. I don't spend money, so sometimes it takes days to do one thing. Then, you can't get enough resources to make things to upgrade the home island. Also, the mysterious doors where you can get lots of energy are hard to open. Some need like 18 each of shovels, axes, and keys! Update: new set of islands are even worse! No more gifts of energy. I'm about ready to remove the game.

I hate the update. Some good things are larger storage, faster food growth, quicker items being made, simplifying the order board, & an additional resource (beaver). The negatives are, taking away items already earned in previous versions, adding a cow feed bag, & limiting rocks, sticks, & clay to home island. Adventure stuff looks the same, but not, for ex. it's granite not rocks. That beaver is stingy & you can't get what you need, slowing progress. Regeneration is slow. The game is not fun.
