-- 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.

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

Very challenging. I love it. I have did a lot of primitive camping in my life, and this is very close to what needs to be done to survive. Addictive game. Lots of variables. Hypothermia kills faster than dehydration in real life and in this game. Highly recommended. 3/2017 EDIT::: 9 Years Later! I still love this game. My, how it has changed. I am at level 219 now. I can't find the Colored Frog, Coconut Saturation and Find Bones achievement isn't working for me.

big fan of this, I like the variable difficulty styles and perk combinations and maps. it makes it really relatable and keeps me on my toes. I had to replay grizzly mountains at least 7 times on EASY until I finally figured out a good perk + starting gear combo to give myself a good enough start. that map is challenging enough I couldn't usually make it past 5 days. I like how much of a challenge that one is, and I'm looking forward to the desert biome.

Possibly the best mobile survival game available, and doesn't take up 5+gb like a lot of popular games I've seen before I did ask for a way to just survive as long as possible with plant life regrowing and bugs respawning when searching, and they did add that, so if you want to just play to see how long you can survive for without being saved, you can! You don't have to but with such a good FREE game, I do recommend (if you can afford to) to support the devs by buying raven or wolf edition! TY!!
