-- NOTE ABOUT CLASSIC OLDER 319 UPDATE --
The old 2018 version codebase was in such state that it became impossible to add new features and eventually this version would have been removed from stores due incompatible android. The whole game codebase was redone (twice) and the new version now is the only one available. This lead to choices that were either "old version is lost forever" or "new version replaces it" and the "new version replaces" was the choice. Some of the classic features have been fixed in update 680 and please do keep giving feedback.

There's been requests for a "classic" version within Survive so emailing [e-mail] with subject line "CLASSIC" can impact development plans.

Until next update,
Juuso

--- PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED ---
* IN-APP PURCHASES (IAP): You can buy full version, style pack and such. There are no "gems" or "ads" type of stuff.
* FULL NETWORK ACCESS: you can play offline, but if you play online game sends error/exception information about crashes. This helps fixing problems.
* VIEW NETWORK CONNECTIONS: To best of my understanding this checks if your device is online or offline.
* CONTROL VIBRATION: this can be toggled off in the settings. It's used only for in-game events (like if you catch a fish or something like that)
* OTHER WORTH MENTIONING: game stores "save game" files to your device so that you can save & continue game after playing. Should not require extra permissions though. Game does not read your phone files. It only reads game files and via settings screen you can see list of files that were created.
* RUN AT STARTUP: This is some unnecessary permission that we hope to remove (sorry for time being). Game doesn't use it for anything.

Ratings and reviews

I've played this game on and off for years, and I really enjoy it - however I'm colorblind, and on the crafting screen it is nearly impossible for me to read what materials I'm missing due to font color blending in with the background. I'm sure I can't be the only person who's experienced this - is there any way that you could change the font to a color that contrasts the background more?

Actaully quite decent for what it is. And I say this as someone who doesn't like 99% of mobile games for p2w among other things. has no ads,can be played offline. that in app purchase part is also just a one off payment of 7$ for the full game. Will probably buy it myself but the game is quite fun without it as well.

I've been playing this game for years now (2017, less than 100k downloads) and honestly I'm disappointed with the lack of improvement. The game still feels totally random, when I win I don't feel like its because of me. When I lose it feels like there was nothing I could've done differently. There are a lot of balance problems (for example traps rarely give you food and are never worth it). There are things that used to be in the game that are paylocked now. And there isn't much new gameplay.
